EMG CSR Consultancy Information

EMG - Founded in 2004, EMG is an advisory firm that is on the cutting edge of corporate social responsibility (CSR) thinking, strategizing, and implementation. With offices based in Amsterdam, Cambridge, London and Dubai, satellite offices in Doha, and New York, EMG is the winner of numerous awards, and is recognized as an international authority in the fields of CSR and sustainability. A veritable pioneer in what it does, EMG was the world’s first CSR consultancy to be certified for the promotion of Cradle to Cradle, the leading international circular economy model. EMG’s Founder and CEO, Drs Daan Elffers, was one of the first people in the world to receive certification to operate as a consultant in this area and is today a Guest Member on the Circular Economy Taskforce with the World Economic Forum. As befits its position as an innovator, EMG believes that organizations need not wait to be instructed or compelled to take up CSR-related ideas; rather, it makes sound business sense for them to become drivers for change, and for them to become leaders in global sustainability initiatives. As Elffers has stated, “Be a seeker, not a follower ... Don’t wait until stakeholders come to you to make change, or until legislation tells you do things differently.” The consultancy has a proven track record of achievement, and applies advanced systems-thinking methods to explore synergies between people, planet, and profit. Proficient in its mastery of the relevant theory, EMG and its panel of consultants adopt a localized approach, and work in close collaboration with clients and stakeholders to formulate strategies and activities that ensure the best possible outcomes in an approach that is innovative, responsive, effective, responsible, and transparent.
