Products & services

Sustainability strategy consulting – we provide the pieces you need

Our innovative and practical approach will help you integrate sustainability with your everyday business priorities.

We specialise in working directly with people from across your business. This builds their understanding and engages them in creating real-world solutions that work.

Good strategies have some fundamental elements. We can help you with one, several or all of them, according to your needs.

1. Analyse – risks and opportunities

What are the priority environmental and social issues for your organisation? We are experts in understanding and analysing the issues that matter.

2. Focus – on the material issues for your business

Prioritising your focus is a key part of maximising the effectiveness and business value of sustainability management. Commonly known as ‘materiality assessment’ it is at the heart of the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) G4 approach. We will work with you to find the issues that are material for your business and your stakeholders.

3. Vision – for sustainability in your company

A compelling vision for sustainability in your organisation should crystallise your ambition and engage staff and stakeholders. We have helped different organisations create their vision.

4. Strategy – to deliver your vision and goals

Good strategy provides the basis for good business decisions. We have supported a number of leading organisations to understand, prioritise and structure their strategies for sustainability.

5. Plan – your actions to implement and deliver

Achieving your strategic goals requires clear and meaningful plans and pathways for action. We develop structured management plans that will guide your progress.

6. Report

CSR and sustainability reporting – tell the strategic sustainability story in a way that can be heard by company leadership, investors, owners, customers and all stakeholders. With many years’ experience we provide clear, business relevant guidance and advice for your sustainability reporting and communication

Scenario and sustainability futures management

What do sustainability trends mean for the future of your business? We use scenarios to present a range of possible futures and stimulate your thinking about the future of your business.

Sustainability benchmarking and assessment

How do your sustainability activities compare with your peers and competitors, where are your existing strengths and what are the key opportunities for evolving your approach?
We have developed structured analysis tools, checklists and guidance processes to analyse and locate your practice relative to your peers and sustainability best practice. We can work with you to identify gaps and opportunities, develop appropriate responses to key challenges, and communicate your work to employees and stakeholders.

Value chain analysis

Effective sustainability increasingly requires management up and down the value chain, issues in one part of the chain can impact in others. We use conceptual models and approaches to assist you in analysing the environmental and social dimensions of your whole value chain, understanding impacts and boundary issues and driving innovation through your business relationships.

Sustainability management systems

There is a mass of sustainability information out there but as yet no global standards. We can help you cut through the information overload to focus on the right things in the right order with the right level of ambition. We have a scalable management system approach which builds from a number of key stages to allow you to effectively and simply identify, prioritise, manage and communicate your sustainability performance.
