ERM helps organizations achieve social acceptance and better outcomes for communities and stakeholders. We advise and practically support clients with social and human rights strategies and actions that increase the resilience and performance of their operations and value chains.
The energy transition requires new capital projects to be executed at unprecedented pace. Gaining social acceptance and managing the social and human rights impacts of these new assets requires going beyond compliance to safeguard revenue and resilience.
Regulations, standards and best practices for social impact, human rights and responsible policy engagement are increasingly integrated with climate and nature. Organizations need to drive greater transparency and governance across their operations and wider value chains.
Supporting a just transition is a clear imperative for climate action and decarbonization. Integrating environmental, social and human rights can amplify the positive outcomes for people, the planet and an organization’s performance.
Rapid climate, technological and geopolitical change is leading to greater disruption and lower social cohesion. Organizations are increasingly recognizing the value of fostering equitable societies.
