Scenario Planning Best Practice for ESG

In today’s world, businesses are expected to not only deliver strong financial performance but also make a positive impact on society and the environment.

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues have become a key factor in evaluating a company’s practices, and finance leaders must take on a greater strategic role to support ESG efforts.

Scenario planning helps organisations better understand the present, consider what might change in the future, and explore what those changes could mean for the business.

It gives leaders an opportunity to test a strategic plan’s effectiveness, as well as provides an opportunity to create best and worst-case scenarios while planning for both outcomes.

Our best practice guide includes:

  • The difference between financial forecasting and scenario planning. Plus why you need both
  • How to use scenario planning to drive innovation or mitigate risks
  • Scenario planning best practice checklist

Organisations who do not regularly perform scenario planning or use outdated systems and processes are more vulnerable to risks, developing blind spots and limiting their ability to capitalise on opportunities.
