Grant Thornton Guyana recognizes the importance of Sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria in developing a strong business strategy, taking a global leading role in understanding and implementing it.

Our Sustainability Services include:

1.

Sustainability Strategy 

We can assist your organization in formulating the sustainability strategy / ESG aspects and help you integrate them into the organization’s overall strategic planning. First, we define the stakeholder groups to better understand your organization and what the most important aspects of it are for your stakeholder groups. Right after we know who exactly your stakeholders are, our team will set related goals and define the roadmap to achieve them. The roadmap includes revised policy & procedures, internal and external communication plans, and KPIs for each stakeholder’s group. After these two steps are completed, our team will formulate together with your organization a strategic SDGs action plan in depth for 3-5 years.

2.
