ESG Strategy, Materiality and Risk Assessment for Pharma

ESG Strategy, Materiality and Risk Assessment for Pharma
Product Description

Positive Organizations builds the ESG strategy that sits underneath everything else, so your reporting, ratings and customer questionnaires draw on one coherent plan instead of ad hoc answers.


We begin with an ESG maturity assessment and a peer benchmark against comparable pharmaceutical manufacturers, CDMOs, API and packaging suppliers, followed by a structured gap analysis against the frameworks your customers and regulators actually apply: ESRS, GRI, EcoVadis and PSCI expectations.


From there we develop your ESG strategy with measurable KPIs, named owners and a phased action plan, complemented by ESG risk scoring and a TCFD-aligned climate risk assessment using IPCC scenarios. Our 360 ESG roadmap phases this support over several years.


We also build your ESG communication plan, so demonstrated progress reaches procurement, investors and auditors.
