SDG, ESG & Sustainability

From international SDG goals to concrete ESG reporting.

SDGs and ESG are two concepts focused on sustainable development. SDGs are the global sustainability goals, while ESG takes it a step further by offering companies a framework to measure and improve their performance in environment, social and governance.

ESG reporting is becoming the standard for companies. It’s just a matter of time

Ellen Loots - Founder of ADE Consultants

If you ask us, ESG is not a hype, but the future. It shows the impact of your company on the environment, people and governance — and it’s becoming increasingly important for investors, customers and lawmakers. ESG reporting will soon be mandatory, potentially with tax benefits attached.

That’s why we at ADE are proactively working on this. With active guidance, digital tools and expertise, we make sustainable business both achievable and measurable.

Read below how we’re tackling ESG ourselves, and how we help entrepreneurs truly make it happen.

How does ADE approach ESG?

Environment


Sustainable and ecological work starts digitally.

We’ve been working for years on an environmentally responsible approach:

  • Fully digital processes, from accounting to admin
  • Tools like Yuki, Odoo and e-signing reduce paper and transport use
  • Smart automation boosts efficiency and lowers your consumption
  • And we also help you work more sustainably, without any extra hassle.

Social

Your people are your driving force. Invest in them wisely.

The social pillar of ESG revolves around your people. But what does that mean in practice?

  • Employee well-being: less absenteeism, more engagement
  • Diversity & inclusion: a broader perspective drives innovation
  • Transparent salary policy: motivates and builds loyalty
  • Growth opportunities: investing in talent means investing in the future

A strong social policy makes you more attractive as an employer, boosts retention and strengthens your reputation — also towards clients and investors.

Governance

Transparent, honest and well-considered policies.

Good governance pillars make the difference between trust and doubt. That’s why we focus on:

  • Fair and transparent pricing
  • Dedicated points of contact, no helpdesk maze
  • Strategic advice that’s both ethical and future-proof

That’s how we ensure clarity – both internally and externally.
