About Us

Douglas Hileman Consulting LLC (DHC) helps clients meet challenges posed by ESG. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG, often discussed as Sustainability) encompasses dozens of issues. Climate change, new regulations, modern day slavery, water quality and availability, growing stakeholder expectations, disclosures in financial filings – these are just a few. ESG issues have led to a growing body of compliance requirements, operational and reputational risks, and non-financial reporting (NFR) requirements. Some is mandatory, some is "voluntary". Companies are overwhelmed with the pace of change, and the expectations of different stakeholders. Structures and programs designed just a decade ago to meet ESG compliance requirements are still necessary, but they are no longer sufficient.
