integrated CSR
Kito’s principal offering builds a fully integrated CSR program within your organization. This process is, by design, low stress – high reward. Our 70-30 model is efficient, effective, and…you guessed it, impactful. Importantly, this approach offers ESG returns with little disruption or additional costs to your current business model. Our process includes:
Discovery: The Kito team explores your vision and expectations for impact programming. What are your needs? What are your assets? What are your already existing wins? What are your risks? What does success look like? Discovery is a light touch process.
Baseline: Kito establishes your baseline and generates a preliminary technical report so that you can get the good news out there while progressing solutions to mitigate risk and reduce potential negative exposure where needed. We also develop a preliminary short-term strategy to identify and capture some early wins. We back you into global standards, develop metrics, and then start work on a more robust mid-term strategy.
Implementation: Working with your teams, Kito supports implementation. Whether it is launching your philanthropic portfolio, implementing risk mitigate strategies, building new partnerships, meeting ESG standards for your sector – we support you every step of the way.
Ideation: Kito works with your team on developing solutions for the goals you have set. We also start to explore the other 30% of the game. What makes you stand out? How do your core business offerings, visions, and values shape your impact plays? What partnerships, investments, programming will generate the best ROI on all fronts? Let’s identify and develop ESG commitments that put you at the front of your peer group and get those wins put into play.
Pressure Testing: What is working, what is not? Too much too soon? Let’s go global faster? We help make sure change is authentic, lasting, manageable, and right for your organization.
Launch: When the time is right – for you – we help launch your internal impact team. Job descriptions, team transition, vision hand-off. You got this….

ESG Risk Mitigation
If you are a publicly traded company and you are exposed on ESG assessments, our rapid mitigation program helps contain fallout. Increasingly, ESG metrics are being used to determine portfolio inclusion. We won’t help you green wash your company. We will help you come up to speed on your ESG deliverables as fast as possible.
Carbon Emissions
Climate change impacts every aspect of operations. Some companies voluntarily report climate risks and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), including emissions in supply chains. Reporting will become mandatory for public companies in the months ahead. Because reporting will include supply chain, it is anticipated that new reporting requirements will impact most businesses. Kito has extensive experience in GHG calculations, mitigation, and adaptation strategies. Our team can help you meet filing requirements efficiently, implement mitigation strategies, and ensure resiliency in your operations.
Innovative Strategies
CSR/ESG work is 70% textbook 30% innovation. If you have the basics down but need help uncovering new market verticals, fostering innovative partnerships, or growing your reputation, market segments, and distribution channels – our solutions oriented, customer-design process may be the right fit for moving your team to the next level.
Gender Integration
Our team at Kito has extensive experience in gender integration, gender parity, and diversity/inclusion strategies both domestically and internationally. It your company is exposed to risk in this space, we can work with you to not only mitigate your exposure but ensure that inclusion strategies help grow your bottom line.
