Support for ESG Consultants:

Objective: To create opportunities for ESG consultants to offer their expertise through our marketplace.
Planned Actions: We will develop tools and features that allow consultants to showcase their services, manage projects, and communicate with clients. This includes the development of analytics tools to help them demonstrate the impact of their work.

Marketplace Features and User Experience:
