Sustainability Services

Sustainable corporate governance and non-financial indicators are increasingly coming into focus across all industries. Companies are confronted with more and more legal requirements on sustainability. In addition, environmental disasters and a global pandemic are attracting widespread public attention. As a result, the regulatory and social pressure on companies in terms of sustainable corporate governance has never been bigger.

The Cayman Islands have embarked on developing a legislative framework for implementing environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria for Cayman's financial services industry. As noted by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA), there is a growing need for regulated funds to understand better the impact of ESG-related risks in implementing this investment strategy.

The capital market's growing understanding that ESG issues impact financial metrics and ultimately company value is increasing investor demand for reliable and comparable disclosures. And companies risk no less than their licence-to-operate if they fail to meet their environmental and social responsibilities.

Why ESG?

ESG stands for a multitude of topics which - depending on the business model - can be of essential importance for a company's sustainability.

Reasons for Establishing Sustainability Management

External factors, such as legal regulations or societal requirements, are not the only factors that increase the pressure on companies to deal with the issue of sustainability. The company's interest in making itself fit and resilient for the future should also be the impetus for establishing efficient and holistic sustainability management.

The goal must be to establish sustainable business practices in all company areas in the long term.

Getting there is a development process that requires constant monitoring and evaluation of the sustainability programme - even once a programme has been developed. But the journey is worthwhile, and the benefits are obvious:

• Improvement of the company's image and brand value - thereby strengthening customer loyalty
• Increased attractiveness as an employer
• Improving financial performance
• Developing an innovative vision for the company by identifying non-financial factors
• Improving access to credit and the ability to attract investment
• Identification, monitoring and appropriate management of non-financial risks
• Systematically reporting on the link between strategy and financial performance, including the impact of ESG factors
• Improving data quality for more effective information management and decision-making
