At maze we understand the overwhelming nature of ESG and compliance responsibilities and that’s why we are committed to helping businesses tackle these challenges head-on by leveraging our partnership with Devoteam. Together, we offer tailored solutions designed to assist companies in navigating the intricate landscape of sustainability legislation while strategically integrating impact into their core operations.

Whether by crafting pluriannual sustainability strategies, integrating ESG in business operations and decision making, implementing effective impact management and reporting frameworks, or staying informed about the latest regulatory developments, our collaborative approach ensures that businesses are compliant and positioned for long-term sustainability success.

These profiles represent different stages of sustainability practices within organisations, ranging from initial exploration and understanding of requirements to operational challenges in data collection and reporting, and finally, to more advanced stages with established processes but facing efficiency and accuracy issues.

At maze, we focus primarily in organisations that identify as “Pioneers”, as they do not yet have an ESG strategy, or want to improve the existing ESG strategy where maze expertise will help to develop an effective ESG strategy and define concrete targets. By leveraging our experience across multiple sectors, we deliver a customised approach to industry-specific regulations and policies, ensuring organisations remain compliant in today's rapidly changing regulatory environment while driving meaningful change - from assisting companies in designing their sustainability strategies to ensuring compliance with the obligations arising from new directives, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

Our approach with clients that identify as ‘Pioneers’ follows three phases:

If you identify as a ‘Data Miner’ or ‘Specialist’ you are likely to be ready to adopt devoteam’s solution straight away.

In today's business landscape, companies are increasingly confronted with the multifaceted challenges of managing their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives while navigating the evolving regulatory framework. From data collection and management to stakeholder engagement and compliance, businesses encounter a number of complexities in their journey towards sustainability. Challenges might also occur in sourcing, validating, and managing the vast data collection required for comprehensive ESG reporting.

Addressing these challenges requires proactive planning, efficient data management systems, good stakeholder engagement, and a real commitment to sustainability integration. This will allow businesses to enhance their ESG performance and foster long-term value creation and resilience.

The coming years will undoubtedly be spent making all ESG first-movers as examples of how adapting early to sustainable business practises is a competitive advantage while benefiting all stakeholders including our planet.

To illustrate the practical impact of our partnership, consider the case of PLMJ, one of our valued partners. Since 2018, PLMJ has published three annual sustainability reports, each strengthened by maze's advice and expertise.
