CCS Strategies LLC (CCS) Principal, William J. Brady III, P.E., has more than 20-years’ experience, working with the largest electric utility in the U.S., developing strategies for addressing key sustainability issues, and successfully achieving outcomes that enhanced value and managed risks. CCS is positioned to help clients establish a platform for developing dynamic sustainability strategies and ESG (environment, social and governance) management capacity, and advising on effective reporting and disclosure, in response to evolving opportunities, risks and expectations. Public and private companies continue to experience growing expectations for addressing a broad range of sustainability and ESG issues, more transparently disclosing how they affect the business and describing the enterprise’s response to them. Climate change, social equity and corporate governance are at the top of the list for most companies. In addition, organizations need to evaluate their business strategy, activities, and performance, to determine the key issues that should form the basis for a comprehensive sustainability strategy and management of ESG outcomes. The dynamic nature of expectations and the myriad of standards and frameworks for reporting can present challenges. Working with a trusted partner, who has corporate experience and knowledge of these issues can be a valuable complement to the internal team. Current and proposed European Union sustainability reporting directives and prospective requirements being developed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will further raise the threshold for addressing ESG issues. Companies that are already managing them will need to continue to refine their strategies and operational priorities to credibly address and disclose the actual and potential impacts to the business. Organizations that have not embarked on robustly addressing these issues should consider acting soon to enhance value and manage risk.
