Therefore, Finch & Beak has designed a 12-month approach that leads to continuous improvement of your sustainability program and its performance. Our work is characterized by a pragmatic approach that leverages existing assets in the short term, while identifying opportunities for strategic development in the future. The result is an effective process that supports you in tackling the must haves of reporting while leaving room for actual improvement of sustainability performance. Our method proves its success by the fact that Finch & Beak’s average tenure of DJSI-clients is more than three years.

The key benefits of benchmarking lean reporting include:

1. Apply the CSA (Corporate Sustainability Assessment) as an engine for sustainability performance
   Get the most out of your efforts by using the CSA as a third-party assessment on non-financial performance to benchmark with industry peers, identify gaps and track year-on-year progress – with the ultimate goal of applying it as an engine for your sustainability program.
2. Demystify how the DJSI and CSA works
   Gain a better understanding of the value drivers and why they matter to investors and other stakeholders. Get concrete recommendations to improve your company’s results in the short-, mid- and long-term, by focusing on better disclosures, sharper reporting, and practically improving performance – including on challenging topics such as human rights, supply chain management and human capital development.
3. Build and activate a team of internal ambassadors
   Increase internal awareness on sustainability and build an engaged coalition for sustainable change within the organization.
4. Spend resources wisely
   Reduce the burden on internal resources by co-developing an approach that focuses on the most impactful priorities, complemented with experienced guidance and, if required, turn-key project management.
