Helping SMEs Navigate ESG Sustainability
Tara McGivern is an SME business consultant that specialises in ESG consultancy. Tara has over 30 years operational and compliance experience and a deep understanding of the ESG frameworks and standards that best service small to medium organisations in their journey towards a sustainable future.
Sustainability is no longer optional—it's essential. As businesses prepare for upcoming ESG regulations and increasing environmental concerns, having a clear strategy is critical. At Towards Sustainability, Tara guides SMEs through ESG implementation, ensuring compliance while making real, measurable progress.
Why ESG Matters for SMEs
With extreme weather events on the rise and regulations like CSRD and CSRDD coming into effect, SMEs must prioritize ESG sustainability. However, getting started can be daunting. ESG impacts every part of a business, from HR to operations. With multiple frameworks and disclosure requirements, understanding which standards apply can be confusing. Tara’s expertise simplifies this process, providing clarity and actionable solutions.
Best Approach to ESG Implementation
At Towards Sustainability, we use a proven methodology to help businesses integrate ESG principles seamlessly. The process starts with a materiality assessment to identify relevant ESG topics.
From there, we collect baseline data using frameworks such as GRI, SASB, ISO 14001, and CSRD. This structured approach provides real-time insights, highlights improvement areas, and serves as a roadmap for policy and operational changes.
The Impact of ESG Integration
By the end of our process, your business will have a clear ESG data set and a practical roadmap for sustainability improvements.
These changes not only benefit the environment but also enhance brand reputation, improve investor confidence, and boost employee engagement.
