Corporate Governance & ESG

Amidst the fast-evolving regulatory landscape of environmental social governance, Pragma takes a practical approach to Environmental Social Governance through a simple, five step processes to creating or reviewing a sustainability framework tailored to your organisation.

From small businesses to ASX listed entities, we offer personalised advice suitable to each stage of an organisation’s ESG journey. Our ground up approach moves from a comprehensive review of existing governance frameworks, policies and procedures to the creation of a sustainability framework through the below 5 step process.

Our 5 step process to achieve a Sustainability Framework is simply as follows:

  1. 1

    Review – the first step is to assess your current ESG position;

  2. 2

    Identify – we can then identify your impact through understanding your organisation;

  3. 3

    Advise – our written advice which includes a recommended Sustainability Framework to fit your organisation;

  4. 4

    Implement – we draft relevant charters, policies and procedures and meet with board members, executives, management and stakeholders to implement a Sustainability Framework; and

  5. 5

    Assess – finally, we create a due diligence process in which we can enable you to monitor the effectiveness of the Sustainability Framework.

Our general advice includes:

  • General advice on current and evolving ESG reporting requirements including advice on sustainability reporting and regulatory requirements for corporate disclosures relating to sustainability reporting

  • General governance advice, including external assessment and review of current corporate governance framework, strategy, processes, policies, plans and procedures and adhoc company secretarial assistance

What our clients say

Aaron is an extremely hard working and dedicated professional. His commitment to client service is second to none, and he's a good bloke too. It's probably a bit cliché to say Pragma are pragmatic but really that’s a great way to describe it. The reason I do recommend Pragma is because I know when I send a client or an associate to Pragma that they're going to be happy with the outcome that they receive.
