SENIOR ADVISOR – ESG ADVISORY, CLIMATE CHANGE & SUSTAINABILITY SERVICES

At EY Hungary, our Climate Change and Sustainability Service (CCaSS) team seeks to build a better working world by helping businesses and governments respond to societal, environmental and economic challenges. We help businesses understand and evaluate the broader value impacts and outcomes associated with their organizations, operations, programs and projects. Our global team is multidisciplinary and combines our core knowledge in accounting and reporting with knowledge in technical and regulatory sustainability issues.
We provide ESG related advisory services to financial market participants, large corporate clients and state owned enterprises too.
Our teams help clients identify their ESG Strategies and action plans, execute impacts with purpose, and continuously improve and report on their sustainability performance. Specifically, we help clients manage emerging risks such as climate risk, reduce costs through design and implementation of systems and processes, and leverage opportunities in areas such as sustainable finance, climate change, circular economy or the Green New Deal both within their organization and within their supply chains and customer base.
