UK Sustainability & ESG Consulting

We work across three areas. Carbon, energy and net zero: SECR, ESOS, Scope 3 inventories, net-zero strategy, SBTi targets and Carbon Reduction Plans for public sector contracts. Sustainability reporting: UK SRS, climate-related financial disclosures, CSRD, GRI and CDP. ESG advisory and investment: ESG strategy, board and team training, SFDR and PRI. Most engagements start by confirming which obligations apply to you, then build the data, disclosures and plan needed to meet them.

It depends on your size, listing status and where you trade. For most large UK companies the core regimes are SECR, ESOS and climate-related financial disclosures, which apply from 500 employees and £500m turnover. Listed companies should also prepare for UK SRS - the FCA has consulted on requiring reporting against UK SRS S2 from 1 January 2027. If you have significant EU operations CSRD may still apply, although Omnibus I narrowed its scope substantially in March 2026. We confirm your position against each regime before any work is scoped.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) describes what a company chooses to do beyond its core business - community programmes, charitable giving, volunteering - and is usually reported as narrative. ESG is how investors, lenders, customers and regulators assess a company's environmental, social and governance risks and performance, using measurable data against defined frameworks. That makes ESG a finance and risk discipline: the figures sit in or alongside the annual report, are increasingly subject to assurance and are compared side by side with your peers'.

For a company, investment in ESG pays back in concrete ways: lower energy costs from the efficiency measures a costed net-zero plan identifies, eligibility for contracts where customers and public sector buyers score suppliers on carbon and social value, earlier sight of supply chain and climate risk, and data that holds up when lenders and investors screen you. For fund managers and lenders, ESG analysis surfaces risks the financial statements alone miss, and SFDR and PRI set out how that analysis has to be disclosed.

That is what we build them for. Every figure we produce traces back to source data, with the methodology, boundaries and assumptions documented so your auditor or assurance provider can follow them. That matters more every reporting cycle: auditors and investors now interrogate methodology, boundaries and restatements far more closely than when regimes like SECR began.

Our consultants work with FTSE 100 organisations, NHS trusts and large private companies, and every engagement runs the same way. You get a written scope and fixed fee before any work begins. One senior consultant leads your project from scoping through to sign-off, backed by our in-house sustainability and quality assurance teams. And we tell you when an obligation does not apply or a rating is not worth pursuing this cycle - which, since Omnibus I narrowed CSRD, is often the most valuable advice a UK group can get.
