Sustainability Risk Advisory
We guide you through the steps needed to execute appropriate environmental and human rights due diligence (often referred to as sustainability due diligence):
- Develop and revise policies and processes aligned with your goals, your risk appetite, and the relevant standards and regulations
- Understand sustainability issues and how they might affect you
- Be prepared for internal and external discussions and decision-making
We have more than 15 years of experience in helping organizations to manage environmental and human rights risks in their relationships with other companies.
Understand risks. Strengthen processes. Mitigate threats.

Tailored solutions
We help risk, legal, and compliance departments establish robust frameworks and strategies for sustainability risk management. As outsourcing partners for financial institutions, we conduct deep-dive assessments on controversial investments, sectors, and human rights issues. Our tailored policies and due diligence services help ensure transactions align with your specific risk tolerance and global standards.
We have designed online ESG risk scoring tools that seamlessly integrate into existing credit and risk systems. Our solutions enable transparent, auditable decision-making through sector-specific risk parameters and internationally recognized standards.
Our research-based insights and information products address complicated sustainability risks, including how different sectors handle these issues. Organizations have used our research to understand emerging risks, make better decisions, manage risks well, and engage effectively.
We have developed ESG risk guidelines and exclusion criteria that are aligned with our clients’ risk tolerance and investment strategies, including ways to evaluate environmental and social controversies in sensitive industries.
We have created an Excel tool that helps our client identify supply chain risks by checking the human rights risks of their business partners based on the partner’s industry and location. The tool uses information available to the public.
We have helped clients understand the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). ECOFACT translated this foundational guidance into practical steps, guiding financial institutions through the process of implementing TCFD reporting with useful tools and examples of best practice.
We have helped organizations compare their sustainability and climate efforts with those of peers and best practice examples. ECOFACT reviews policies, governance, skills, and regulations to find strengths, weaknesses, and new best practices, then turns these findings into clear, prioritized steps to improve governance and help organizations meet international standards.
ECOFACT has designed, convened, and managed collaborative initiatives that enable peer learning and progress on sustainability risk management. We have organized roundtables, workshops, and sector initiatives that bring together senior professionals to compare methods, share experiences, and promote effective governance and implementation.
ECOFACT helped clients create clear, high-quality sustainability reports that meet regulatory requirements. Our support involved managing the projects, and organizing and editing content. We have also designed double-materiality assessments to strengthen reporting quality and readiness for reporting under the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
