In the very early days on our Sustainability journey, G&A provided such important intelligence and experience-based guidance to Monsanto Company, a Fortune 100 company, hoisting us up on their shoulders until we got our sustainability feet under us. Their efforts, insights & change management skills put the enterprise on the right path toward becoming a more sustainable company.  With our feet under us, G&A stretched us to dream big, be bold, and lead the agriculture sector.

Given extensive corporate and investment community network G&A institute has, it was a natural fit for us to work on ESG data disclosure study with G&A and distribute the results of the study via their medium. Their expertise in corporate ESG strategy consulting was indispensable in putting the study results into context for encouraging better corporate disclosure as well as for investors to meaningfully engage with companies they invest in. Anyone who met Hank and Lou would agree that their can-do attitude is not only a delight, but is the indispensable part of the services they provide.

I manage our corporate sustainability disclosure, and am always looking for useful information on reporting trends, particularly trends regarding the influence of sustainability reporting on investor confidence and customer preference. G&A’s publication is essential reading for this purpose. With many years of experience with both sustainability officers and the broad investment community, Lou and Hank are invaluable resources for any company interested in “upping its game” on sustainability.

I’ve been collaborating with the G&A team — Hank and Lou in particular — since before they founded G&A, and I’ve been consistently impressed by the quality of both their work, and their integrity. On the work front, the research G&A produces — particularly the “What Matters” workstream built on the foundation of their serving as GRI Data Partners — is a huge service to the field, helping to advance a deeper understanding of materiality and ESG performance. On the integrity front, the G&A team always delivers on its word — in this day and age, it’s refreshing to have relationships where a handshake agreement means something! What’s more, there's always a sense of good humor and conviviality when we meet!

The G&A Institute team has been instrumental in building strategic awareness of the corporate responsibility agenda, the benefit to the corporate sector and the investment community.  As a long-time corporate responsibility executive, I’ve witnessed the work of the team contribute to the advancement of the CR function.  The Institute’s ongoing research efforts, broadly shared with the corporate and investment communities, have helped all practitioners better understand the strategies and operational elements for success in corporate responsibility. I applaud these efforts.

As the sole person responsible for my company’s sustainability report, I realize the importance of supportive resources. G&A Institute has served as a highly-knowledgeable and readily-available consultant aiding in our reporting effort. G&A provided me with a comprehensive gap analysis containing solid data and actionable direction. They went far beyond the scope of work to ensure we are headed in the right direction as we pursue alignment with the Global Reporting Initiative guidelines.  I would highly recommend G&A to any company that is interested in producing a valuable sustainability report that is material to investors, customers and key stakeholder groups.

It is important to have organizations for our common sustainability work like the Governance & Accountability Institute, led by people with a deep commitment and passion. In addition, they provide badly needed research on companies doing sustainability reporting and trends in sustainability in both the business and investment communities. Finally, they work actively with other organizations to get the word out publicly about the importance and relevance of sustainable investing.
