Case study · Industrial ESG · Advisory engagement

Connecting ESG, industrial processes and investment decisions.

In an industrial SME, ESG actions existed — but scattered, and barely connected to decisions. The point: make ESG a criterion in industrial arbitration, not an annual report. Anonymised case, no figures, no operating data.

The starting point

Real actions, no through-line.

  • ESG actions were scattered and barely connected to investment decisions.
  • ISO 26000 looked too broad, with no concrete priorities.
  • Machine or building projects could change regulatory obligations, without that link being traced.
  • Consumption was known globally, but barely connected to decisions.
Our role

Turning a framework into arbitration.

We don't audit and we don't certify. We structure: materiality, priorities, a compliance register and indicators — so ESG carries weight at the moment the company decides to invest.

The method

Four connected workstreams.

Diagnostic and materiality

Diagnostic, materiality, risks, opportunities and roadmap. Deliverables: materiality matrix, action plan, indicators.

Making ISO 26000 actionable

Core subjects, stakeholders, gaps and prioritisation. Deliverables: diagnostic, gap matrix, action plan. ISO 26000 is a guidance standard: it isn't certifiable. We use it as a structuring grid.

Industrial regulatory requirements

A machine or building project can change which obligations apply. Inventory, evidence, responsibilities and timeline. Deliverables: compliance register, action plan, evidence file.

Usable energy and carbon indicators

Sources, factors, boundaries, intensities and ownership. Deliverables: dashboard, calculation method, documented assumptions, action plan.

What it changed

ESG becomes a decision criterion.

The company held an owned materiality, a maintained compliance register, and indicators whose calculation method and assumptions are written down — therefore debatable and improvable. We publish no impact figure: an indicator only means something with its boundary and method, and those belong to the client.

Scope and responsibilities

What we do — and what we don't

This support is neither a regulatory audit, nor legal advice, nor certification. Compliance rests with the company and the competent bodies. ISO 26000 is a guidance standard and is not certifiable.
