What is Sustainlook?

SustainLook was established in 2017 to provide comprehensive sustainability consultancy services for companies across all sectors. It offers services in ESG Performance Rating Consultancy, Carbon Accounting, Decarbonization Strategies, Sustainability Reporting, and SME-Specific Sustainability Advisory. To this end, SustainLook provides consultancy in the preparation of corporate documents—such as environmental policies, workforce and human resources policies, climate action plans, and other sustainability- and ESG-related materials—based on both qualitative and quantitative data.

Since sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) efforts require a holistic approach to sustainability, consultancy services in this field are also provided in an integrated manner.

Investors and other financial evaluation institutions expect the companies they consider for investment to demonstrate transparent and highly rated ESG and sustainability performance. They also look for the implementation of sustainable procurement practices within supply chain management, adherence to sustainability criteria in terms of ethics, human and labor resources, and the adoption of a governance structure that reflects a sustainable management approach.

Institutions that aim to develop sustainability processes in which SMEs can be more effectively and actively involved, as well as those that have prepared their Sustainable Procurement policies, Corporate Environmental and Climate Policies with strong and effective qualitative and quantitative data, are more likely to be prioritized by financial investment decision-makers. Organizations that are environmentally conscious, carefully conduct and analyze their measurements, and implement necessary precautions and improvements can also contribute to long-term sustainability.

With the SustainLook working system, measurement in the field of sustainability, report writing, SME-specific studies within the scope of sustainable procurement, and ESG rating service consultancy can all be successfully provided from a single point. Indeed, merely preparing sustainability reports or making efforts to reduce carbon values is not sufficient for institutions to reach the high scores and categories expected by ESG Performance Organizations.

Indeed, the high performance of ESG is also dependent on the efforts that institutions demonstrate across all existing principles, policies, procedures, and especially in stakeholder communication. On the other hand, being fully familiar with the rating criteria of ESG Performance Organizations, closely following their constantly updated demands and expectations, and keeping the institution receiving ESG rating consultancy services up to date with this information are all essential.

The consultancy service provided to enhance institutions' ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance and score categories also positively influences and improves the content of their Sustainability Reports. In fact, with SustainLook’s consultancy, it becomes possible to establish a long-term “corporate sustainability development plan” that extends even prior to the preparation and writing stages of the sustainability report. Within this framework, many of the institution's corporate policies and procedures are revised, and institutions are enabled to undergo an ESG Performance Evaluation system that meets reporting and scope requirements—particularly one that has been independently and transparently audited and supported with the necessary documentation.

Carbon Accounting, Decarbonization, Climate Action Plan preparations, CDP, and Sustainability Report writing and content development services are also among the other services offered within SustainLook’s “Holistic Sustainability Vision.”

One of the most significant consultancy service areas that SustainLook advocates and leads in the field of sustainability is the use of its specially developed ESG Performance Rating System – Susfindex" as an evaluation methodology for measuring the sustainability performance of SMEs.

Within the scope of SustainLook-SME consultancy, the “Susfindex” ESG Rating Index offers an accurate and effective solution for all institutions and organizations striving to enable SMEs to participate more actively in ESG and sustainability ratings. Designed in accordance with the specific sectors and capacities of SMEs, the Susfindex index can also provide significant contributions to the “Sustainable Procurement” scoring required by the ESG Performance Rating System.

SustainLook strengthens the sustainability and ESG performance of institutions with measured and analyzed data.

SustainLook also plays an active role in supporting institutions and organizations evaluated by international ESG Performance Rating and Indexing Agencies in preparing the **“Corrective Action Plans”** they are required to submit and follow. This includes helping them develop roadmaps and monitoring whether the action plans have been implemented effectively. Through studies enhanced by artificial intelligence, the existing sustainability practices of organizations that have achieved high ESG performance scores globally are analyzed holistically. Based on these insights, SustainLook provides consultancy services to help develop and implement the most accurate and effective Corrective Action Plans tailored to the needs of the institutions it serves.
