"Business leaders have traditionally focused on top- and bottom-line performance indicators. However, data from a recent survey* is showing that many organizations now consider their green line (ESG) as the leading indicator of long-term, sustainable business success."

At its core, ESG is about companies doing business in a manner that serve clients, shareholders, workers and employees, as well as societies, and to harmonize the different interests of the stakeholders. It more than just climate risk or carbon elimination, but about how companies can do business better in areas that are not traditionally measured and steer positive environmental and social impact through their operations.  

#esg metrics and goals must be embedded within a company’s core operations and services; traditional annual reports are no longer sufficient. Stakeholders want to understand how a company addresses areas such as climate action, with transparency on transition and adaptation plans based on the carbon footprint of its operations. They want to track and advance people sustainability initiatives by gathering key performance indicators (KPIs) in areas such as diversity and inclusion.

Apricot Consulting product innovations work across the companies and enterprise to deliver on these goals.

ESG Measuring and Disclosure

What we measure shapes the future. Measuring ESG and non-financial indicators is not only about compliance but also about determining the first step an organisation should take in their ESG objectives. Measurement allows leadership to identify immediate priorities and have the right data to make better decisions on next steps. 

Once identified, leaders can overcome challenges and start to embed ESG practices throughout their organisations that create long term sustainable and inclusive value. 

As ESG becomes more prominent, the demand for accurate and more relevant information to be disclosed is increasing. ESG reporting is also an important indicator of company health and plays a key foundation to tell an effective story of the impact your company is having. 

At Apricot, we embed technology through business operations to simplify the steps for reporting in line with the World Economic Forums ESG Capital Market Metrics. Our process allows for easier real-time identification of opportunities and risks so companies can make key decisions to innovate, reduce costs and improve performance.  

Net Zero Carbon Targets

As society and business move towards a more sustainable future, organisations have intensified their efforts to address climate change. Commitments and targets to Net Zero emissions have accelerated. 

Apricot is focused on helping businesses and investors understand their carbon emissions output and change business practices to support emission reductions, measurement, performance, and offsetting.  

We leverage innovative carbon accounting technology and data to help leaders understand what steps need to be taken to drive real change in their organisations and play their part in decarbonising society.
