4 STANDALONE LIVE POLICY LABS
ESG Policy Drafting Workshops one theme, one afternoon, one finished draft.
Four separate 3-hour live sessions on the four policy families every ESG rating asks for: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Business Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. Each lab is aligned with EcoVadis scoring logic and maps to GRI, CDP, BRSR and CSRD disclosure expectations. Taught by Pratiksha More.
Second cohort · 100+ professionals trained in our 2025 workshop · 7 seats already confirmed for this batch. Small cohort every group is reviewed personally.

Why every ESG consultant must know this
Why policy drafting is a non-negotiable skill for ESG consultants
EcoVadis, GRI, CDP, MSCI, Sustainalytics, BRSR and CSRD all start with the same question: does the company have a documented, signed, scope-specific policy with SMART commitments? If you cannot draft that, you cannot deliver client value.
Policies are the first gate in every rating
EcoVadis, GRI, CDP, BRSR and CSRD all ask for documented, signed, scope-specific policies before they score actions or results. No policy means no points.
Each theme has different stakeholder logic
Environment, Labour, Ethics and Procurement each carry distinct legal references, risk triggers and KPI expectations. Copy-paste policies fail across all four.
Clients expect deliverables, not just advice
Most companies lack in-house ESG teams. They pay consultants to hand over submission-ready documents that survive analyst and auditor review.
It bridges global frameworks to local operations
Good consultants translate UNGC, ILO, OECD, UNGPs and local regulations into company-specific language that actually reflects how the business runs.
Policy gaps are the fastest way to lose points
Generic statements, missing scope or unsigned documents cap scores and trigger buyer rejections. Drafting fixes the root cause in one sprint.
It is a standalone, billable consulting service
Beyond ratings, clients need ESG policies for investors, RFPs, supply-chain onboarding and CSRD/BRSR disclosures. Policy drafting is high-margin and repeatable.

The four workshops
Pick the policy family your client or company needs.
Each lab follows the same consulting architecture - context, materiality, SMART targets, then a group draft with defined inputs, outputs and marking guidelines. While the drafting method is EcoVadis-scoring ready, every template maps to GRI, CDP, BRSR and CSRD disclosure expectations.
Workshop 1
Environmental Policy Lab - EcoVadis, GRI & BRSR aligned
Walk out with a drafted environmental policy that names material topics, carries SMART targets and satisfies EcoVadis, GRI and BRSR disclosure expectations.
Workshop 2
Labour & Human Rights Policy Lab - EcoVadis, GRI & UNGP aligned
Draft the theme that carries the heaviest weight across ratings - with due-diligence language buyers, auditors and analysts all accept.
Workshop 1
Environmental Policy Lab - EcoVadis, GRI & BRSR aligned
Walk out with a drafted environmental policy that names material topics, carries SMART targets and satisfies EcoVadis, GRI and BRSR disclosure expectations.
Workshop 3
Business Ethics Policy Lab - EcoVadis, OECD & UNGC aligned
The smallest theme and the fastest to lose points on. Leave with a corruption, competition and information-security policy that holds up under rating and audit review.
Workshop 4
Sustainable Procurement Policy Lab - EcoVadis & CDP aligned
Write the policy that ties supplier code, risk screening and cascade campaigns into one document that satisfies EcoVadis and CDP supply-chain questions.
