We work with companies to identify and disclose the most material topics for their organization, construct corporate sustainability reports and align their responses to reporting frameworks such as GRI, CDP and CSRD. Identifying and highlighting a company’s most relevant ESG topics is the first step, followed by effectively communicating those to stakeholders using ESG data to back up their claims.
We recognize the importance of developing a report that outlines future goals and steps to be taken in order for a company to improve its short- and long-term ESG and sustainability performance, while still aligning those goals with its business model and financial capabilities. As a leading sustainability consultant, our work spans across all industries and sectors including energy, real estate, retail, chemical, manufacturing, oil & gas, mining, technology, food & beverage and more.
We help organizations navigate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting requirements, climate risk assessments, and ESG strategies aligned with international standards including ISSB, TCFD, SEC requirements, and CSRD. Our data collection and analysis supports both financial reporting and ESG disclosures that build trust with stakeholders.

GRI Compliant Sustainability Report
HPC Italia worked to support the client in the definition of a sustainability strategy and the realization of its first sustainability report, in line with international GRI standards, and for the update of the report in the following year. Specifically, HPC has provided both desk and field support by performing the following:
- Context Analysis
- Stakeholder mapping and analysis
- ESG materiality analysis, 40 ESG issues were identified by profiling the company, determining its impacts and analyzing relevant documentation within the field of ESG reporting (SDGs, Global Compact, GRI standards, World Bank’s Guidelines, ISO 26000)
- Stakeholder engagement, through the submission of a questionnaire to 443 internal and external stakeholders, and dedicated workshops with the top management. Via the questionnaires, stakeholders were engaged in defining the main ESG issues to be addressed, out of the 40 previously identified by the desk analysis
- ESG materiality analysis update following the engagement, to identify main ESG issues
- Communication and reporting, drafting of communication material and technical posters to communicate main findings and information on remediation activities to the stakeholders
The client obtained a crucial instrument through which sustainability efforts may be better communicated, under a transparent and internationally recognised reporting methodology, thus allowing for improvements in the relationship between the client and local stakeholders. Moreover, the activity has allowed for the collection of information on the company's sustainability performance and contributions by stakeholders, which will prove crucial in allowing for more informed decision-making at a company-wide level.
