Consolidated Contractors Company
As the saying goes, 'What can't be measured can't be managed'. Therefore, the first step in the CCC ESG strategy is to adopt universal metrics for measuring ESG within the organization. In future, the progress of the ESG initiatives can be quantified using these metrics. The ESG Measuring Stakeholder Capitalism Initiative, launched at the request of the World Economic Forum’s International Business Council, seeks to improve the way in which companies measure and demonstrate their performance against ESG indicators and track their positive contributions. The initiative identified a set of metrics and disclosures, deliberately drawn from existing standards.
CCC has been implementing ESG initiatives for some time, putting effort into protecting employee well-being, cutting down on energy use, supporting green building, combating corruption, and encouraging community involvement. CCC is dedicated to making significant strides in the coming years and has incorporated ESG into our organisation's fundamental strategy, daily operations, and distinctive culture.
