Transformation Consulting Services

Sustainability is taking centre stage for most organisations as business leaders, regulators, investors, and consumers increasingly expect them to demonstrate value creation not only from the perspective of traditional financial performance but also by considering Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) metrics. With the recent shift toward placing greater emphasis on sustainability and decarbonisation, it has become imperative for organisations to respond to the global call for change. Businesses must rethink their operations and purpose to integrate ESG into their corporate strategy and decision-making processes.

Our team transforms finance functions into strategic enablers by optimising financial modeling, business processes, and governance for better decision-making and sustainable growth.

In today’s ever-evolving landscape of business and operations, organisations are facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. The traditional roles of accounting and finance teams have undergone a profound transformation. No longer confined to the sole purpose of meeting statutory compliance requirements, these functions have evolved into pivotal drivers of organisational success.

Once perceived primarily as cost centres, these functions now play a critical role in strategic enablement, directly contributing to accomplishing business objectives. To propel finance transformation, organisations strategically leverage on two key elements: advanced technologies and people capabilities. Embracing this transformation equips organisations to proactively navigate the evolving landscape and position themselves for sustained success.

At BDO, we aim to support our clients through the establishment, enhancement, review and repositioning of the accounting and finance function to achieve greater success.

FAQ

While related, ESG consulting often focuses on the Environmental, Social, and Governance factors as specific categories for assessment and reporting, often driven by investor needs. Sustainability consulting takes a broader view, encompassing long-term ecological, social, and economic viability and may involve strategic integration beyond just reporting.

GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) focuses on reporting a wider range of sustainability impacts relevant to various stakeholders, emphasising materiality from a broader societal perspective. ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board) focuses specifically on financially material sustainability information to meet the needs of investors and capital markets.

ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board) is a global body established to develop a comprehensive global baseline of high-quality sustainability disclosure standards to meet investors' information needs about companies' sustainability-related risks and opportunities.

Currently, sustainability reporting is mandatory for listed companies on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) on a "comply or explain" basis for core ESG metrics. However, there is a growing expectation for more comprehensive sustainability reporting across all sectors, and regulations may evolve.
