At Nalba, we believe that sustainability is an attitude that ensures competitiveness and business continuity. Integrating sustainability into organizations is a cross-cutting process that goes beyond compliance to create and retain value. The challenge we face is not merely one of conservation; the challenge is to remain and grow in an environment where competitiveness will be conditioned by scarcity, both of physical and human resources.

We advise on corporate sustainability from a business perspective.
ESG
We advise on corporate sustainability from a business perspective.
The approach we propose is linked to business because we understand that sustainability adds long-term value to organizations in the form of a competitive advantage. We believe that sustainability should not be framed merely as a compilation of actions oriented towards corporate responsibility or philanthropy, but rather as value creation that enables the organization to be better prepared than its competitors to face future market challenges.
Our approach is business-oriented because we recognize that sustainability provides long-term value to organizations as a competitive advantage. We believe that sustainability should not be confined solely to a series of actions related to corporate responsibility or philanthropy, but rather as a value creation strategy that positions the organization to be better prepared than its competitors to meet future market challenges.

We help you design and implement your Corporate Sustainability Strategy
Companies typically generate performance based on an economic balance. At Nalba, we have observed that focusing on a triple bottom line (economic, environmental, social) maximizes the value of the organization and ensures its continuity into the future. The integration of sustainability into the organization is connected to business strategy, risk management, and reporting.
Incorporating ESG factors into business strategy means analyzing future scenarios characterized by resource scarcity, fluctuating government commitments in transitioning to decarbonized economies, and demands for labor rights. We help you anticipate the future of the global value chain, positioning you in a competitive, solvent, and profitable manner.

Success Stories
Consultancy on Double Materiality Analysis
Consultancy on developing a dual materiality analysis for a public company focused on rural development and environmental conservation.
Context
Dual Materiality Analysis assesses the significance of impacts that a company’s activities generate on the natural and socio-economic environment, as well as the impacts that changes in these environments could have on the company. Nalba supports the company in the development of such analysis.
Methodology
- Collaborative work with the client to identify and granulate various stakeholders both within and outside the organization.
- Implementation of environmental, social, and governance topics based on the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) issued by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG).
- Guidance during the identification stage of material issues, both internal and external, to determine their significance and intensity.
- Consultation on assessing impact metrics to evaluate the severity and materiality of impact, as well as financial impact. Similarly, advice was provided on performance metrics of stakeholders to assess the intensity of qualified relationships.
Outcome
Execution of the analysis enables:
- Improved ESG decision-making by the client, as well as the pinpoint identification of actions to be incorporated into their strategic plans.
- Prioritization of ESG issues according to their relevance and identified impact for various stakeholders, as well as by them.
