Leveraging Customer ESG Enquiries for Sustainable Change

As an expanding, premier service provider to some of the largest corporations in the world, Judge was increasingly being asked to comply with Sustainability and ESG-related inquiries from their customers. 

They responded by investing heavily in sustainability issues and employee-focused programs, and reaching out to us for help in telling the story of their far-reaching CSR success in engagement, inclusion, and training.

Aligning Internal Strategy with External Communication

Engage collaborated with Judge on a comprehensive Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility Program. This program built on various client requests to comply with ESG reporting frameworks. Our solution took the form of both an internal and external engagement, with complementary, strategic communications releases.

1. Sustainability Measures – Internal Processes

  • Administering a baseline Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory based on the GHG Protocol;
  • Updating numerous sustainability-related policies across the Group; and
  • Administering a Risk and Materiality Assessment to cover Judge’s broad service network.

2. Strategic Communications – External Reporting

Market Leadership through Strengthened Branding

The Judge Group successfully launched its Sustainability Program, which culminated in the development and publication of its inaugural Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report, providing a credible, transparent narrative for stakeholders and clients. 

Through our engagement, Judge successfully:

  • Established a verifiable baseline for Scope 1 and 2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
  • Updated policies to align with leading ESG frameworks, reinforcing Judge’s commitment to responsible governance.
  • Achieved critical ESG submissions, including EcoVadis, CDP, and the SBTi, enhancing Judge’s visibility and competitiveness in the marketplace.
  • Completed a formal Materiality and Risk Assessment to inform strategy and identify key environmental and social priorities.
  • Improved readiness for customer ESG inquiries and RFPs, enabling more proactive and consistent communication.

These initiatives positioned The Judge Group as a forward-looking, ESG-conscious organization equipped to meet evolving stakeholder expectations while strengthening its already stellar brand, client relationships, and operational resilience.
