ESG policies that hold up — without a 6-week project
Most ESG policies are either copy-pasted from a template or buried in a 200-page governance manual no one reads. Neither holds up under regulator, investor or board scrutiny.
This 1-day scoping engagement gets to the point: which policies you actually need, where the gaps are, and what each one needs to say.
How we work
- Pre-read — we review your existing policies, governance framework and any recent ESG / risk disclosures
- Working session — a half-day with your ESG, governance or risk lead to map the policy stack against regulatory and investor expectations
- Output — a prioritised policy list, benchmark, and a drafting brief per priority policy delivered within a week
What you walk away with
- Clarity on the ESG policy stack you need (and what can be retired or merged)
- A defensible benchmark against ASX, ISSB, AASB S2 and ASIC expectations
- A drafting brief per priority policy so writing can start immediately — internally or with us
Ideal next step
Most clients move straight into drafting the priority policies, or fold this into a broader ESG Health Check or Reporting Scoping engagement.
Frequently asked
Will you write the policies for us?
Not in this scope. This engagement gives you a clear drafting brief per policy so your team — or our delivery team in a follow-on engagement — can write them quickly.
How many policies are covered?
We typically scope 4–8 priority ESG policies in a day. The exact list depends on your sector, size and regulatory exposure.
Is this enough for compliance?
This scoping engagement defines the policy stack and drafting requirements. Drafting, board approval and implementation happen in a follow-on phase.
Who needs to be involved from our side?
One senior person with line-of-sight to governance, risk or sustainability is enough. We can include legal or HR briefly if needed.
