What does a typical ESG journey include?
I came across this diagram from KPMG, and it is an interesting example of how an ESG transformation can be structured in practice.
It shows a progression that begins with understanding the current state of the organization. Maturity assessments and awareness sessions establish the baseline, highlight gaps, and surface areas that require attention.
Materiality then filters the issues that matter most for decision-making. It helps define priorities, select actions, and determine the indicators that will signal progress.
From there, strategy takes shape. Purpose, mission, and long-term direction are translated into clear ESG objectives supported by organizational alignment.
Governance and risk management provide structure. They determine how decisions are made, how risks are tracked, and how accountability is distributed across the organization.
Process development operationalizes the strategy. Policies, controls, and data systems enable consistent execution and create the conditions for reliable performance information.
Reporting organizes this information for internal and external stakeholders. It brings transparency to progress, expectations, and results.
Assurance reinforces the credibility of the information shared. It validates claims, strengthens confidence in disclosures, and supports the integrity of the overall approach.
This type of framework helps clarify the sequence of work and the capabilities required at each stage of the journey.
