Leading corporations are required to prove environmental, social and governance responsibility (ESG). CBE accompanies you on the certification journey — from strategy to a certificate that speaks the language of investors and global clients.
Why CBE for ESG?
CBE guides you through every standard and framework — even when they come together
Environmental management — the foundation of any ESG program
The leading standard for environmental management systems. Reduces environmental footprint, improves resource efficiency and is required by Enterprise customers and regulators.
Energy management — savings and emissions reduction
A framework for efficient energy-consumption management. Reduces costs and greenhouse-gas emissions. Required by regulation and customers committed to Net Zero targets.
Social accountability — workers' rights
An international social-accountability standard based on ILO conventions. Covers fair wages, working hours, health and safety, freedom of association and prohibition of child labor.
Ethical supply-chain audit
Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit — a widely accepted ethical audit for assessing compliance with social and environmental standards. Required by global retailers from their suppliers.
Israeli standard for corporate accountability
An Israeli standard for organizations' social and environmental responsibility. Based on ISO 26000 and adapted to the Israeli reality. CBE guides implementation and full certification.
Leading reporting and certification frameworks in the ESG world:
Global corporations require proven ESG reporting from their suppliers. CBE maps the required frameworks (GRI, EcoVadis, CDP) and builds a work plan to meet all the requirements.
SMETA and SA8000 audits check working conditions, fair wages, safety and workers' rights along the supply chain. CBE prepares the organization for the audit and guides you through to approval.
CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) mandates detailed ESG reporting from companies operating in the EU, including Israeli companies with significant activity in Europe. CBE guides preparation of the first report.
ISO 14001 covers environmental management only. ESG also includes Social and Governance. CBE performs a Gap Analysis and identifies what's needed beyond the existing standard.
ESG ratings (EcoVadis, MSCI, Sustainalytics) influence investors and Enterprise customers. CBE analyzes the current score, identifies gaps and builds a plan for significant improvement.
Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) enables organizations to set science-based emissions-reduction targets. Required by global customers committed to Net Zero. CBE guides defining and submitting the targets.
