If, like most of us, you don’t actually have eyes in the back of your head – listen up!

Designing, structuring, defining and implementing a successful ESG Strategy is by nature (excuse the pun) Forward-Looking. It has to be, given that its purpose is to change behaviours to protect the future. The intentions behind it are to improve and enhance ourselves, and our businesses behaviours to safeguard the environment, ensure people are treated with respect and care, and to orchestrate organisations in such a way that all activities are transparent, above-board and in service of ALL stakeholders, right?

Very noble goals, indeed! However, with every step you take forward, your instructions are left behind with someone else to execute. How do you KNOW they are doing it correctly, and at the standard and quality of work in every task you would expect from yourself?

Is TRUST and HOPE enough? Or do you need guidance to select and setup a system that not only monitors those actions, but ENSURES they are done as expected.

If you implement a globally proven, fully customizable software system with the right guidance (that only experience can bring) that allows you the ability not only to PROVE that every task, every work-flow, every transaction is aligned with your strategic goals, you won’t need eyes in the back of your head. You will be able to see these details in near real-time, which allows you to take appropriate action will in time with agility and total transparency at every level of the organization.

On 1 August, 2024, hosted by The Southern African Institute of Mining & Metallurgy (SAIMM), we will be unpacking methods to enable transparency and agility in real-world scenarios faced by Oil & Gas, Petrochemical and Mining companies, and show how, with the right guidance and tools, you need not second-guess intentions vs actions.

Remember, the Devil’s in the Details…
