Testimonials
It was a joy working with Anthesis. They provided a wealth of experience in enabling us to understand the nuances of the metrics so that we could put our best foot forward in our sustainability report. In short, I give Anthesis my highest recommendation as a Corporate Responsibility partner and publisher, and I would not hesitate to work with them again.
VP Investor Relations
We started working with Anthesis in 2017, when they helped to write and produce our CSR report. Since then, we have collaborated on a pilot chemical management project with our key denim mills. I’ve worked with several teams and individuals within Anthesis and have been continually impressed by the quality and concerted effort they put into delivering value to our business through our sustainability programs.

Content and data collection
We can advise on the content you should be including in your report and other communication vehicles and help collect it, whether through interviews with key staff, reviews of existing documentation or other means. We can also help you establish or maintain a database for key metrics you are managing and reporting performance against; this makes it easier for you to track progress against your baseline, through Microsoft Excel or a number of other performance management and software systems.

Value creation
Now that you have put out credible narrative that tells your sustainability story, we can help you navigate the landscape of ESG raters and rankers and improve your rating, as well as support you in getting recognition for your efforts through awards, inclusion in ESG indices, and more.
