PwC helps Norwegian organizations incorporate sustainability into their core activities. We help them to develop sustainability strategies, operative plans and procedures, risk analyses and reports. We specialize in climate-motivated reorientation and sustainability in the finance sector and in international aid and development.
In working with sustainability, it is essential to understand what the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals actually mean for your own organization and for your industry. Our experts know the unique challenges various industries will face in the years to come, and we can help your organization establish a responsible and sustainable code of conduct that is in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals.
If your organization has not yet defined any clear goals in this area, it’s time to get started on your priorities.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals provide a shared blueprint for sustainable development world-wide. In order for us to succeed, we must all contribute. Businesses especially. In line with social change, new regulations and increasing consumer awareness, more and more studies show that it makes financial sense to run a business sustainably. Sustainability today is about more than just reducing one's carbon footprint. It’s also about new business developments and creating new business opportunities.
PwC can help your organization develop strategies for sustainable economic growth, identify and take advantage of business opportunities relating to sustainable development, and integrate ethical, environmental and social factors in your strategy, management and governance systems.
By integrating sustainability in its strategies and business governance, a company can strengthen its competitive ability and reputation, position itself for new business opportunities and improve its risk management.
Climate change is already here, bringing considerable risks, but also opportunities, for your business. The Paris Agreement and tough EU policies define the framework of operations for businesses in this country, too. Climate risk is about understanding how climate change will affect social development, policy and framework conditions, and market and technology development. Any changes we can expect to see in our physical environment, such as weather conditions and wind, are also included. Sound assessments of climate risk offer critical and strategic management information in the transition to a low-emission society.
PwC can provide a systematic analysis of your organization’s climate and sustainability risks, for the purpose of establishing a robust basis for management in a changing world. We analyse which risk factors could play a significant role in various climate scenarios, when they are likely to occur, and how much they may cost. This provides key insights for any company wishing to chart a clear course for its climate efforts and implement the necessary adjustment measures. A clear climate strategy may help secure the company’s future competitiveness through the Green Shift.
Good reporting is the foundation of a good strategy and clear goals. We also assist companies with climate and climate risk reporting in accordance with various frameworks, such as CDP and TCFD.
In order to increase awareness and ensure sustainable development, we need transparency on how businesses integrate sustainability in their corporate governance systems.
Good sustainability reporting requires an overall strategy for sustainability activities. Sustainability reporting and its associated indicators cover business strategy, material aspects, strategic focus areas and objectives. Relevant and specific KPIs are essential in making sure activities in strategic focus areas are implemented and performance monitored.
ESG due diligence helps identify and map a company's risks and opportunities in terms of environmental impact, social conditions and corporate governance (including ethics and anti-corruption initiatives). The analysis identifies ESG risks and opportunities within the organization and the measures necessary to reduce or exploit these after a potential acquisition. It is important to identify this type of information early in the acquisition process in order to manage risks in an organization that does not comply with requirements laid down by public authorities and stock exchanges. Improvements will increase the value of the investment post-acquisition and prevent potential fines or negative publicity.
Another aspect of sustainability in the financial sector is found at the portfolio level. Portfolio analyses are relevant for many different financial investors, from private equity (PE) firms to large, institutional investors who own shares in multiple business sectors. Our portfolio analysis service entails a systematic review and analysis of ESG risks in the corporate portfolio, strategic opportunities or various reporting requirements. PwC has broad experience with all types of portfolio analyses, for both PE firms and major public investors. Insights derived from a focused portfolio analysis can provide a strong decision-making foundation for further investment or other strategic decisions related to the Green Shift.
International development is a condition for attaining the Sustainable Development Goals. At PwC, we help public agencies, private corporations and non-profit organizations improve their operations and achieve more effective and lasting development. New global challenges and ever-tightening public budgets necessitate smarter aid, innovative solutions and new financing mechanisms.
