About the firm

A South African ESG firm built for the disclosure decade.

Integrity and Impact ESG Consulting (IIESG) advises listed companies, large private firms and their supplier networks across South Africa and the African continent. We turn ESG ambition into evidence — methodology, controls, data and disclosures that withstand board scrutiny, external assurance and regulator review.

Our work is framework-led and audit-defensible. We anchor every engagement in the standards our clients are accountable to — JSE Sustainability Disclosure Guidance, King IV, ISSB (IFRS S1 and S2), GRI, TCFD, CSRD, and South African instruments including B-BBEE and the Carbon Tax Act — and we design for the disclosure cycle from day one.

Our team brings combined experience across ESG strategy, sustainability assurance, governance, regulatory compliance, financial reporting and data systems engineering. We have worked alongside listed and private companies through first-time and recurring disclosure cycles, and we operate a working ESG data platform that supports those engagements end-to-end.

Our vision

To empower organisations to build inclusive, resilient business models by integrating environmental, social equity and governance excellence into core strategy — a holistic, data-driven approach to sustainability leadership, built on the conviction that ethical governance and sustainable practice are the primary drivers of long-term value.

Framework-led

Every engagement anchors in the standards our clients are accountable to — not in generic ESG storytelling.

Audit-defensible

Methodology, evidence and disclosures designed from the outset to hold up under external assurance and regulator review.

End-to-end

Strategy through implementation through reporting — a single team that stays accountable for the outcome.

How we work

Principles that shape every engagement.

Five commitments that define how we partner with the organisations we advise — the difference between an ESG programme that holds up and one that gathers dust.

Practical solutions, not box-ticking

We don't produce paperwork for its own sake. We build practical ESG strategies scaled to your business, budget and sector — sustainability that makes the company more resilient, not just better documented.

Local roots, global standards

We understand the realities of operating in South Africa — King IV, B-BBEE, the Climate Change Act and energy security — and build solutions that work in that context while meeting international standards.

Shared value

A business thrives when its people, suppliers and communities thrive. We help companies grow fairly and sustainably, proving that environmental care and fair treatment strengthen the bottom line.

Honest partnership

We work as part of your team, not at a distance. We speak plainly, deal in facts, confront risk directly and match your pace — giving you honest, data-backed advice.

Strong leadership and trust

Good governance is the foundation of a good business. We help you build clear rules, fair processes and ethical leadership that earn stakeholder trust, attract investors and secure a lasting legacy.

What we do

Three services, designed to work together.

Most clients engage across the full arc — methodology, implementation and ongoing data and reporting. Each piece is available individually for organisations who only need part of the journey.

01 · Methodology

ESG methodology, tailored to your obligations.

We define an ESG methodology shaped by your organisation's structure, sector exposure and the standards you must disclose against.

Materiality assessment aligned to ISSB, GRI and stakeholder input
Framework selection across JSE, King IV, ISSB, GRI, TCFD, CSRD, CDP and SBTi
KPI architecture, target setting and assurance readiness
Governance design — committee structures, roles, board reporting cadence
Disclosure strategy and integrated reporting alignment

02 · Implementation

Embedded in your operating model, not bolted on.

We embed the methodology into how your business actually runs — so ESG data, controls and disclosures are routine outputs, not a once-a-year scramble.

Process and control design for data collection across entities
Integration with finance, operations, HR and procurement systems
Roles, responsibilities and training across the data value chain
Internal assurance and audit-readiness preparation
Carbon Tax Act, B-BBEE and sector-specific compliance workflows

03 · Data & Reporting

An ESG data platform built into every engagement.

Our platform is the system of record for ESG performance — collection, evidence, calculation and disclosure generation, mapped to multiple frameworks without re-entry.

Multi-entity, multi-site data collection workflows
Evidence retention and full audit trail per data point
Framework-mapped output: JSE, King IV, ISSB, GRI, TCFD, CSRD
Disclosure-ready reports and submission-ready datasets
Configured, deployed and supported as part of the engagement

Suppliers and SMEs

The platform

The system of record for your ESG performance.

Our ESG data platform is the operational backbone of every implementation engagement. It captures data from across your business, maintains the evidence and lineage that auditors and regulators expect, and generates outputs mapped to the frameworks you report against.

The platform is delivered, configured and supported as part of our consulting engagements — not sold as standalone software. Request a demo to see it in action with one of our team.
