Reporting your board can stand behind. Strategy that strengthens the business.

Your ESG figures now travel further than the annual report. Investors screen risk with them, customers qualify suppliers against them and auditors scope assurance from them. The data has to hold up across every one of those audiences - accurate, traceable and ready for whoever asks next.

We build ESG programmes that go further than just satisfying a filing deadline. A properly costed net-zero strategy uncovers real energy savings. A Scope 3 inventory reveals supply chain risks before your largest customers find them first. Our methodology makes both your reporting and business stronger.

Our consultants work with FTSE 100 organisations, NHS trusts and large private companies across carbon reporting, net-zero strategy and ESG disclosure. One senior consultant leads each project from scoping through to sign-off, backed by our in-house sustainability and quality assurance teams.

Services

ESG consulting services

We help UK businesses build ESG programmes their board, investors and auditors can trust.

Measure & reduce

Carbon, energy & net zero

Accurate emissions data, credible targets and a reduction plan your board and your auditors can both stand behind.

Industrial building with a rooftop solar array

Scope 1 and 2 inventories, intensity ratios and the energy efficiency narrative required in your annual report.
Site audits, 95% energy coverage and Lead Assessor sign-off, through to notification to the Environment Agency.
Value chain mapping and supplier engagement to build a Scope 3 footprint complete enough to report against and act on.
A costed decarbonisation pathway sequenced by what genuinely abates emissions in your operations, not by what is easiest to announce.
Transition planning to the Transition Plan Taskforce framework, covering ambition, action and accountability, in the form public sector buyers and investors now expect to read.
Target modelling and submission under the Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0. The standard takes effect on 31 January 2027, bringing separate Scope 1 and 2 targets, a 5% Scope 3 threshold and transition planning into scope.
Carbon Reduction Plans to the PPN 006 technical standard and Social Value Model responses for central government contracts. PPN 026 is the next Social Value Model, applying to procurements commencing on or after 1 January 2027 with a tighter focus on British jobs and skills, while PPN 002 remains in force until then.
Green Plans for trusts and supplier-side readiness for the NHS net-zero roadmap, including the Evergreen assessment that NHS Supply Chain tenders have required since April 2026.

Disclose & assure

Sustainability reporting

Disclosures that survive assurance and hold up when investors, customers and ratings agencies read them side by side.

Readiness assessment and first-cycle reporting against the ISSB-aligned UK SRS standards, ahead of the FCA proposed mandatory start date of 2027 for listed companies.
Scenario analysis, transition planning and the board governance narrative that auditors most often challenge.
Scope assessment against the narrowed Article 40a test post-Omnibus I and ESRS-aligned reporting where you remain in scope.
Materiality-led reporting against the GRI Universal and Sector Standards, for the NGO, supplier and employee audience an investor-focused disclosure does not reach.
Questionnaire response and score improvement across the annual CDP cycle, with the evidence trail each scored question actually requires.

Advise & invest

ESG advisory & investment

For boards that need an ESG strategy they can act on and for fund managers and lenders that need portfolio or entity-level ESG work.

An independent read of where you stand, followed by a strategy your board can approve and your teams can run - materiality, targets, KPIs and an implementation plan.
Board briefings and practitioner training that leave your team able to run the next reporting cycle independently.
Article 8 and 9 classification, principal adverse impact statements and periodic disclosures for funds marketing into the EU.
Submissions under the leaner 2026 Reporting Framework (39 indicators rather than 257, with human rights due diligence now mandatory) and the policy work behind a credible signatory position.
