The Challenge
SGI, a leader in the natural gas distribution sector, faced the challenge of improving their ESG performance as evaluated by the GRESB Infrastructure Benchmark.
In a competitive industry, it was critical for SGI to enhance its GRESB score and maintain a strong position in peer comparisons, while also identifying gaps in sustainability practices and reporting.
With rising expectations in the sector, SGI sought EVORA’s trusted expertise to guide their ESG strategy and streamline their GRESB submissions.
Our Approach
Since 2021, EVORA has provided comprehensive GRESB Infrastructure support to SGI, focusing on closing gaps in their ESG performance and curating accurate, robust evidence to meet GRESB’s rigorous standards.
Our approach involved a detailed analysis of SGI’s existing practices, followed by the formulation of tailored improvement strategies.
We worked alongside SGI through each GRESB season, assisting with the identification of improvement opportunities, compiling data and documentation, and crafting precise responses to ensure the best possible score.
Key Outcomes
EVORA’s strategic support has contributed to a consistent and significant improvement in SGI’s GRESB performance, as demonstrated by their GRESB score trajectory:
- 2021 – 88
- 2022 – 93
- 2023 – 93
- 2024 – 96
This 2024 result places SGI 2nd among their peers in the “Natural Resources Transportation Companies – Maintenance and Operation” sector, solidifying their position as a leader in ESG performance.
In addition, SGI achieved a 5-star GRESB rating, reflecting their continued commitment to sustainability. These results underscore the value of EVORA’s ongoing collaboration, contributing to both SGI’s internal ESG improvements and their external market reputation.
