Creating an end-to-end ESG strategy for a major food conglomerate with multiple business units

The development of an ESG management system was key to the successful implementation of the strategy. This enabled measurable tracking to ensure strategy adoption and continuous improvement across all business units.

With no legacy ESG framework to use as a base,  it gave us the opportunity to create a  tailored, focussed ESG strategy from scratch and to identify the best fit ESG management system for the client.

How we helped

Leveraging our global ESG strategic experience and working with the Head of Sustainable Food Supply and ESG of this renowned food conglomerate in KSA, we followed four clear steps:

The development of an end-to-end ESG solution ensured the company continued to focus on its holistic food systems, as well as on responsible sourcing, preservation of natural resources and minimising waste. The implementation of measurable KPIs, such as greenhouse gas footprint and the target percentage of women in management positions and a framework for reporting and monitoring the KPIs, gave the company a clear focus to develop and grow.

As a result of the project there was also a greater understanding of ESG across the organisation and a raised awareness of the focus topics identified by the client as critical to ensure its future sustainable growth.
