SLR Named a ‘Leader’ in ESG & Sustainability Services Benchmark Report by Independent Research Firm

February 6, 2024 /3BL/ - SLR is recognised for its strong capabilities across the spectrum of ESG and Sustainability services, including strategy, reporting and disclosures, financial advisory and notable strength in operational transformation.

The latest edition of the Green Quadrant: ESG & Sustainability Services report by independent research firm Verdantix, ranks SLR in the Leader Quadrant.

The Green Quadrant is a premier quantitative assessment methodology by Verdantix, used to assist buyers in selecting vendors across multiple sustainability consulting services. This latest report recognises SLR’s strong capabilities and wealth of expertise to deliver sustainability solutions with local context for global organisations.

Research carried out by Verdantix shows that firms are updating their sustainability strategies and balancing multiple priorities as they improve sustainability performance. ESG-related regulations are putting substantial pressure on organisations worldwide, as are changing stakeholder preferences and leadership vision. Organisations are realising that internal expertise and bandwidth are not enough to navigate a quickly evolving sustainability landscape. Working with an ESG and sustainability consulting partner can enable organisations to move faster along their sustainability journeys and take advantage of best practices.

SLR’s operational transformation capabilities, backed by science and engineering, were highlighted by the report as particularly strong across climate resilience, net zero, nature, social and community impact, energy transition and circularity. Additionally, our digitally enabled services across net zero strategy, climate risk quantification and strategy, and climate adaptation, planning, and design were commended within the report.
