Governance
The largest off-balance-sheet liability for many businesses may well be the environment. That liability places many businesses on the verge of an environmental governance crisis, posing massive risks - and, if managed correctly, tremendous opportunities for business.
The key to good management of environmental issues is the same as the key to effective management of the business in general: effective, thorough senior-level governance.
PA’s governance work spans multinational corporations as well as international agencies and many national governments. Working directly with CEOs and Boards of directors, we draw on our global understanding of business strategy and sustainability issues and their implications for business across world markets and regions.
Our work in this area includes:
- Surveys of industry leaders and regulatory authorities to gauge the environmental impacts and future needs of businesses.
- Stakeholder engagement assignments in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa reviewing regional and market drivers towards sustainable development.
- Business strategy consulting for sustainable growth in the energy, consumer goods, pharmaceutical, waste management and materials industries.
- Assurance letter process design and management, including the design and implementation of a thorough reporting and assurance process throughout the organization.
