Understand your goal

Your team is part of Twelvex's Consulting Division. Your department's specialism is developing strategies to help companies meet their ESG challenges and obligations.

To successfully meet your clients ESG’s objectives you will need to:

• identify the resources and expertise needed from different workstreams i.e. People, Data, Technology and Operations;
• communicate regularly and effectively with both clients and colleagues;
• think about what you personally bring to the team and how you can contribute to achieving the collective goal.

Communicating with your Twelvex colleagues is as important as with the client (external stakeholder). These internal stakeholders are the key people in each of the workstreams listed above as well as the other members of your project team e.g., your Manager and Partners.

Develop your solution

There are four phases to work through: Opportunity, Mobilisation, Solution Building and Business Development. In each there are a series of tasks to respond to and complete:

• Written reports and emails
• SWOT analysis and RACI charts
• Workstream resource allocation
• Financial analysis
• Communications strategy
• Presenting (pitching the ESG solution to the client)

There are four roles in each team: ESG Analyst, Solutions Lead, Client Manager and Communications Strategist. Each role will take turns leading on the tasks.

The Focus section gives you guidance on how to approach the tasks. The Response area is where you set out your ideas and the actions required to complete the tasks in each phase. The Information Zone contains key information about the client, the sector and the developing solution.

Make sure you have read through the background information on Twelvex and Noraqua. Remember, your ultimate goal is to work together as a team to deliver a high-quality solution for your client.

Do your research

Twelvex’s research team has put together a series of briefing papers (see below) to get you up to speed on recent developments at Noraqua and in the sector.

Client Manager, read Noraqua’s company profile to get an understanding of its values, performance, and areas of operation in the sector.

ESG Analyst, consider Noraqua’s sustainability challenges and goals, as set out in the company profile document, and read the Introduction to ESG.

Communications Strategist, work through the Communicating ESG paper and start to consider the reputational and PR implications of ESG transformation for a company such as Noraqua.

Solutions Lead, read the Leroy Seafood Group case study and begin to think about how an ESG Solution for a agri-food client such as Noraqua might look.
