Advising on ESG Risk
PRA is a valued partner in providing ESG and sustainability risk advisory services to companies and fund of different industries and sizes.
Sustainability risks are found in all operations but rarely are they fully identified, managed and mitigated. As with all risks, there are also opportunities that can be realised and value created.
In today’s business environment, green and sustainable considerations, opportunities to expand to niche markets, and reduced costs are all high on the agenda.
Our services are focusing the company’s strategy to integrate and capture these opportunities:
PRA identifies and prioritises all aspects of sustainable risk and opportunity associated with a company operations. We provide mitigation measures through a combination of proactive management, monitoring and practical technical modifications.
PRA provides guidance and shares best practices from industry peers to assist the entities in developing their own ESG risk policy and framework.
For investors and investees we guide the company in managing the risks to ensure they do not present constraints to business growth and investment, and wherever possible enhance the position of the investment.
