WHAT WE DO

From strategy to story

We combine in-depth sustainability and business knowledge to deliver powerful insight, transformational strategy, actionable solutions and engaging communications. The sustainability and ESG agenda never stands still and requires forward-thinking, collaboration and agility. Our experience helps our clients cut through the complexity and navigate the choices they face. Examples of our services include:

  • Alignment of sustainability activities with commercial objectives, establishing how and where sustainability can support commercial ambitions and priorities. 

  • Shaping strategy and building frameworks to address sustainability challenges and business needs, from nature to the circular economy, and from social impact to water. 

  • Defining the goals, targets, and measures that connect sustainability outcomes with business performance to inform management and motivate progress. 

  • Designing credible climate strategies and plans that connect the reality of the business model with rigorous decarbonisation ambitions.

  • Convening stakeholder discussions internally and externally to bring challenging voices to key issues, helping businesses sharpen their focus and see different perspectives.

  • Providing incisive research, benchmarking, and actionable insight to help businesses understand what accelerates impact and learn from leaders across the world.  

  • Helping businesses to engage with policy makers and other stakeholders, ensuring the right voices are heard or partnerships formed to advocate effectively for change. 

Strategy development and implementation 

We find focus in a complicated and changing world, setting the strategy and direction that delivers sustainable value and progresses performance.

Regulatory alignment and disclosures 

We navigate the regulatory landscape, coupling a rigorous understanding of the changing requirements with a pragmatic response to draw value from compliance.  

  • Designing and delivering practical and pragmatic responses to the evolving regulatory landscape – from CSRD to ISSB – to help businesses report transparently.  

  • Supporting regulatory requirements including TCFD and ISSB – as well as driving business understanding of the commercial impacts of different climate trajectories. 

  • Conducting materiality assessments for regulation and value, extracting insight to inform issue prioritisation and offer value beyond compliance. 

  • Engaging and informing on regulatory developments, sharing best practice and advising on implementation, including to board and exec audiences. 

  • Preparations for voluntary sustainability frameworks, from SBTi to TNFD, and from CDP to GRI, tailoring sustainability responses for the audiences that matter.  

  • Establishing the governance models that will enable delivery as sustainability responsibilities are increasingly decentralised across business functions.

  • Understanding objectives, audiences, and technical detail to deliver sustainability communications strategies that drive impact internally and externally. 

  • Developing compelling messaging underpinned by deep sustainability knowledge to help businesses communicate credibly, while demonstrating value and reducing reputational risks. 

  • Guiding businesses as they navigate multi-stakeholder perspectives on complex sustainability issues, from engaging on climate to strengthening social impact positioning. 

  • Crafting content and thought leadership that engages internal and external audiences across all touchpoints, from sustainability reports to corporate events and public advocacy work.

  • Bringing sustainability strategies to life through creative and attention-grabbing design that connects with audiences across every channel – inspiring action and engagement. 

Communications and engagement

We distil complex sustainability issues into communications that inform, engage, and inspire. 

  • We work as long-term partners advising companies through the strategy cycle and supporting on goal and target setting as well as reporting and disclosures.

  • We help Private Equity portfolio companies get ESG-ready including materiality and risk reviews, alignment to disclosure frameworks, strategy development, reporting and communications.

  • We created the Sustainability Report for the Kings Cross Development to bring to life its place-based strategy and impact on social inclusion.

  • We developed the Sustainability approach, proposition and Corporate Purpose for a leading Nordics engineering company and its global brands.

  • We advise a leading international entertainment company on its reporting approach and alignment to disclosure requirements in the US.

  • We produced the climate communications for a leading luxury fashion brand to engage colleagues and stakeholders on their climate mission.

  • We manage leadership engagement and participate in or facilitate advisory boards, sustainability committees and working groups.

  • We support one of the world’s largest energy solutions provider to respond to the latest regulatory frameworks and stakeholder expectations so they can plan long-term sustainability roadmaps.

“Connecting insight, strategic impact and communications is at the heart of what we deliver and shapes  our thinking every step of the way.”
