ABOUT ESG COPYwriting
A global movement to prioritize sustainable finance and advance sustainable development has led businesses and investors to prioritize long-term value creation and societal good.
The importance of the environmental, social and governance (ESG) industry has grown significantly in recent years. The industry’s growth is driven by factors such as investor interest, customer demand and regulatory updates.
Mandatory ESG reporting standards such as the EU's CSRD and IFRS Sustainability Standards (where adopted) aim to bring more organizations in line with the Paris Agreement and the UN sustainable development goals while incorporating sustainability topic management as a standard part of business reporting.
In the U.S., however, companies often still report under voluntary ESG frameworks and standards such as GRI, SASB and TCFD. California’s climate disclosure bills and the SEC’s climate disclosure rules, both dependent on positive assessments in courts, could require greater standards-aligned disclosures. In addition, many states are passing building benchmarking and performance standards for commercial real estate to disclose building-related carbon emissions.
As a US citizen residing in Berlin, Germany, I help organizations active in different global markets to discuss ESG trends, regulations and evolving best practices in thought leadership and align with relevant standards in ESG reporting projects.
I have pursued ESG-related topics as my main copywriting niche since 2019. As a result, I have gained extensive knowledge, a variety of credentials and experience in the field. I support clients focusing on various aspects of the ESG industry, including:
Reporting companies
ESG consultants
Sustainability communications, reporting and compliance agencies
ESG investment platforms and management firms
Sustainability management SaaS platforms
