ESG and CSR (often used interchangeably) frameworks and strategies are being increasingly adopted by public and private sector organisations across Scotland to structure their commitments to operate in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
A significant pillar of ESG/CSR frameworks is 'environment' and there are typically commitments made both externally to investors/customers/public and internally to shareholders/employees/stakeholders on topics such as:
> Science Based Targets
> Climate Change Mitigation and/or Adaptation
> Environmental Management and Compliance
> Circular Economy and Materials Use
> Built Environment or Buildings Management
Following this guidance can support organisations to make a meaningful contribution to their ESG/CSR frameworks and actively support their corporate level decarbonisation agendas.
