Verdantix, an independent analyst firm, evaluated 17 ESG & Sustainability services providers and named Deloitte as one of the leading providers with comprehensive capabilities. The Verdantix analysis benchmarks ESG and sustainability service offerings against four service offerings (ESG and sustainability corporate strategy; ESG and sustainability data management, reporting and disclosures; operational transformation; and ESG financial advisory) and six momentum categories.
Verdantix defines ESG and sustainability consulting as "services, comprising skilled professionals, methodologies and data resources, that support corporates and financial organizations on ESG and sustainability corporate strategy; data management, reporting and disclosures; operational transformation; and ESG financial advisory."
"We are proud of this important recognition from Verdantix.
