A tool to assess companies’ ESG maturity level
A tool to assess companies’ ESG maturity level
The closing workshop of the working group “Regulation – ESG Governance as a Driver of Transformation” marked the completion of a tool designed to help companies assess their level of maturity in ESG governance.
After several months of discussions bringing together business leaders, sustainability officers, and ESG consultants, the members of the working group co-founded by osapiens met for the final time on July 2 to finalize a shared foundation for strategic thinking around ESG governance.
“As a practical outcome, the goal is to offer companies a hands-on tool to assess their positioning and benchmark themselves,” summarized Vincent Canu, Managing Director of osapiens France.
Here is a professional English translation suitable for the finance and ESG sector:
The tool will be unveiled on October 14, 2025, during the closing event of the think tank “2030, Investir Demain,” which will take place in Paris. The day will bring together members of the working groups and various stakeholders from the financial ecosystem for a program of conferences and discussions on responsible investment.
A structured space for dialogue
This new tool aims to identify barriers, areas for improvement, as well as existing levers to support further progress. It can be used to facilitate internal workshops and communications, and also be presented to various governance bodies to foster cross-functional dialogue. “The value lies in sharing it across different levels of the organization: the board of directors, the executive committee, the sustainability team… Each group will have its own perspective and priorities. And it is precisely this diversity of viewpoints that helps create a constructive space for discussion,” participants emphasized.
The tool is structured around six main pillars, reflecting the key insights drawn from the working group’s discussions throughout the year. It builds on the findings from the first three workshops, addressing in concrete terms the essential levers for establishing coherent ESG governance: integrating ESG issues into the company’s strategic vision, engaging leadership bodies, ensuring clear and shared organization, and embedding these topics across all levels of the company.
The tool also covers topics such as data management, regulatory adaptability, and stakeholder engagement. It consolidates the key themes raised during the group’s discussions and offers a straightforward framework to structure dialogue and identify priority actions. This collective effort is designed to provide companies with a practical resource to support their strategic thinking and guide the structuring of their ESG initiatives.
