Why it matters now
Customer procurement is demanding it. Policies are increasingly not cutting it. Buyers want evidence – data and progress.
Talent wants it. Given the choice, people opt for the more ethical and sustainable employer..
Lenders and investors are watching. Mainly because they care about risk. Climate action, resilience and wider social and environmental risks to your business need to be assessed and managed to get long term access to capital. You can’t just turn this on when the question is asked.
The cost of doing nothing is rising. Unmanaged climate and resource risk is a profit and loss issue. Early movers prtoect margin. Late movers pay to catch up.
What we do
Climate risk disclosure
- IFRS S1/S2, UK SRS, CSRD, TCFD
- Double materiality assessment
- Stakeholder engagement
- Scenario analysis
Measurement and reporting
If it matters, measure it. We help you chose the most appropriate measurement framework for your size and sector. Then build kpi frameworks into business as usual, set baselines, agree targets, monitor progress. Rinse and repeat – the governance bit. Common frameworks include GRI and CSRD.
Opportunity risk and strategy
Building sustainable product and service value propositions and business model maps. Quantifying and assessing the value of different risks and opportunities. Running board and leadership strategy sessions. Acting as board advisors.
Certification and assurance
We regularly support businesses to achieve and renew BCorp and Ecovadis certification. An increasing number of sustainability and carbon ISOs are being adopted by clinets and recognised by their clients as assurance standards.
Capability building
From team upskilling to being a trusted advisor, a large part of our business is supporting the people tasked with the sustainability or ESG agenda to nail it. Sometimes we are extra resource, other times a critical friend, and often the project managers. We like training for a purpose and our PACE approach helps customers achieve positive change through training.
