Frequently Asked Questions about ESG Strategy
What is an ESG strategy and why is it important for companies?
An ESG strategy is a structured plan that defines how a company systematically addresses environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities. It is important because regulatory requirements like the CSRD from
2026 demand transparent sustainability reporting, investors incorporate ESG ratings into their decisions, and companies with strong ESG performance achieve on average lower cost of capital and higher valuations.
What steps does developing an ESG strategy involve?
Development typically involves five steps: 1) Status quo assessment and double materiality analysis, 2) Benchmark analysis against industry standards and competitors, 3) Definition of ESG targets and measurable KPIs, 4) Creation of an implementation roadmap with responsibilities and milestones, 5) Establishment of governance structures for continuous monitoring and reporting.
What is a double materiality assessment in the context of ESG strategy?
A double materiality assessment evaluates ESG topics from two perspectives: financial materiality (impact of sustainability issues on the company) and impact materiality (the company's impact on the environment and society). It is mandatory under the CSRD and forms the basis for prioritising ESG measures and reporting according to ESRS standards.
How are ESG strategy and CSRD reporting obligations connected?
The CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) requires companies from
2026 to report on sustainability according to European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). An ESG strategy provides the substantive foundation for this report: it defines material topics, targets, KPIs and measures that must be disclosed in the CSRD report. Without a strategy, a credible report lacks substance.
What measurable benefits does an ESG strategy deliver for companies?
Companies with mature ESG strategies achieve on average 10–15% higher enterprise valuations, 0.5–1.5% lower cost of capital and better access to ESG-focused investors and funding. Additional benefits include supply chain and regulatory risk mitigation, stronger employee retention, and advantages in public procurement that increasingly considers ESG criteria.
How does ADVISORI support ESG strategy development?
ADVISORI guides the entire process in five phases: Comprehensive ESG status assessment with benchmark analysis, materiality assessment to identify material ESG topics, development of the integrated ESG vision and strategy, definition of measurable targets with implementation roadmap, and support during implementation and continuous improvement. We draw on experience from over
520 projects.
How long does ESG strategy development take and what does it cost?
The timeframe for strategy development is typically 3–6 months, depending on company size, industry complexity and existing ESG maturity level. Costs vary by scope — from a focused materiality analysis to full strategy development with implementation support. In a free 30-minute initial consultation, we clarify your specific requirements.
