SUSTAINABILITY

The sustainability of an organisation is central to its corporate reputation. Stakeholders increasingly demand responsible growth. Capital MSL has helped companies change the way they operate and communicate their ability to achieve financial, social and environmental returns.

The sustainability of an organisation is defined by its ability to achieve long term growth and to deliver long term returns for its stakeholders. This requires a company to be aware of all of the factors that can impact its performance, positively or negatively, over a long period of time. Some of these factors will be financial, but others will include environmental, social and governance issues.

For an energy company, this can mean demonstrating responsible environmental stewardship.  For a financial institution, sustainability factors will focus on talent management, ethics and culture.  And for an emerging markets company seeking access to international capital, it may require demonstrating best practice in corporate governance.

We lead the industry in understanding the sustainability factors that can impact stakeholder decision making.  We apply our knowledge to help companies change the way that they operate, communicate best practice internally, and demonstrate to the outside world that they believe that responsible business practice contributes to long term growth.

In addition, our Financial Institutions practice works for many of the market leaders in sustainable investment.  We help these organisations demonstrate to their potential clients the success of an investment philosophy that incorporates sustainability factors.
