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.

We prefer that our methodology, our work and our platform speak for the firm. Senior members of our team are introduced personally in the conversations that matter.

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.

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.

Data collection
