With more than 500 consultants spread over 16 offices globally, Argon & Co, a strategy and transformation of operations consultancy, is launching ESG and sustainability as a service offering in ANZ.
According to the company, its new sustainability service offering expands its existing strategy and transformation expertise. It assesses and designs ESG strategies, sustainability assessments and benchmarks, and ESG due diligence frameworks. The consultancy aims to drive sustainable operational improvements in every aspect of the end-to-end value chain and leverage its understanding of ESG regulations by supporting sustainable culture and providing learning and best practice.
Some questions the consultancy says it can help address include: How to surmount sustainability obstacles and make impactful decisions? Where to start? How to translate ESG strategy into meaningful action. In response to these, it says it can leverage its “supply chain, operations and transformation expertise” to assess, design, and embed effective solutions that drive positive impact.
Paul Eastwood, managing partner ANZ said, “The launch of sustainability as a core service offering in ANZ will mark a pivotal moment in our commitment to creating a greener and more sustainable future for businesses across ANZ. With the pressing challenges of climate change, sustainability is no longer just an option, but an imperative for companies seeking to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. By integrating sustainability as a core element of our expertise, we aim to empower our clients to navigate the complexities of sustainable practices, transform their operations, and forge a lasting positive impact on the environment and society.”
Frans Verheij, former ANZ partner recently returned to lead the development of Argon's sustainability proposition. He said, “It is not hard, we need to look after our planet and our communities for future generations, I don’t want to imagine a world where my grandchildren are unable to enjoy the planet and social relationships I have. And if that is not enough; with consumer awareness increasing, resources becoming scarce, regulatory requirements increasing and sustainable business models being most cost effective, it makes good business sense to act now on ESG and sustainability. Together, we have no choice but to create a path towards a more sustainable and socially responsible world.”
Argon & Co anticipates the new ANZ Sustainability service offering will further strengthen its global sustainability capability, “bolstering its expertise and reach” to cater to the evolving needs of clients and the broader market.
