Environmental, Social, and Governance Management Systems (ESGMS)

We consider environmental, social and governance management systems (ESGMS) as a framework to deliver the ESG policy into practice by defining processes, procedures and practice guidance. We help establish management systems per international standards such as IFC PS and other applicable Good International Industry Practices (GIIPs) to build documentation and internal capacity of human resources for continued conformance.

When multiple investors are involved, we harmonize their ESG frameworks to arrive at a reference framework that will guide the ESGMS. When organization has an Integrated Management System (IMS), we structure the ESGMS to build on the IMS and provide strategic inputs and guidance while the IMS ensures that the E&S impacts/ risks are addressed in the operations providing feedback to the reporting module of the ESGMS.
