ESG Projects
ESG Projects focus on delivering environmental, social and governance programmes and reporting.
What makes these projects distinctive
ESG Projects carry their own signature challenges. The ones that most often decide success or failure are data availability and quality, evolving regulation and standards, stakeholder scrutiny — so the plan should be built around managing exactly these.
Typical phases
- Initiation — business case and charter
- Planning — scope, schedule, budget, risks
- Execution — building the deliverables
- Monitoring & control — tracking against baseline
- Closure — acceptance, handover, lessons learned
