ESG Services Sustainability
We offer a comprehensive and customized service, guiding companies on their ESG journey.
ESG is the acronym for Environmental, Social, and Governance, the three areas that measure a company’s sustainability: it concerns the ability to communicate its goals, activities, results, and business model in relation to the three indicated factors in a transparent and detailed manner.
The topic is of great importance because it is increasingly demanded by all stakeholders of a company: regulators, consumers, banks, investors, large enterprises, and value chains.
ESG is also an opportunity for companies to improve performance, reputation, innovation, and resilience capacity. Starting from 2024, all companies will have to progressively report on advancements related to environmental, social, and organizational impact.
Italfinance’s proposal is structured with various services:
ASSESSMENT ESG

- Identify Areas of Intervention: determine in which areas the company needs to improve to align with ESG standards.
- Knowledge of Performance: provide a clear view of the company’s current environmental, social, and governance performance.
- Basis for the Sustainability Report: establish a starting point for the drafting of a more detailed sustainability report.
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
The Sustainability Report or Accountability Statement is a document in which the company outlines its sustainable development plan and any progress made in environmental, social, and governance areas. It can be integrated into the company’s annual report or published as a separate document, including information on:
