Sustainability strategy

Sustainability strategy consulting that leads to delivery

A sustainability strategy should change what the business does, not just what it reports. We help you set credible priorities and targets, build a transition plan the operation can deliver, and connect it to the reporting and assurance you will be asked for.

The problem

Strategies written for the report, not the business

Many sustainability strategies are built backwards from a disclosure framework. They produce targets, a materiality matrix and a polished report, but the operational changes needed to hit the targets are never planned, funded or owned.

We treat sustainability strategy as business transformation: material issues, targets and a transition plan, with the programme to deliver it.

What we do

What we do

Priorities and targets

Double materiality, a carbon baseline across scopes 1, 2 and 3, and science based targets where they make sense.

Transition plan

A costed, sequenced plan for the operational changes behind the targets, from energy and fleet to suppliers and products.

Reporting and assurance readiness

A strategy that connects to CSRD, UK SRS, SECR and procurement requirements such as carbon reduction plans, with data ready for assurance.

How it works

From material issues to a funded plan

We start with what matters most to your business and stakeholders, establish the baseline, agree targets with leadership, and then plan delivery as a programme with owners, budgets and milestones.

Scope and price are agreed up front, on a fixed price or a day rate.

Carbon footprint

Know your footprint first

A credible strategy starts with a credible baseline. We measure your organisation's carbon footprint across scopes 1, 2 and 3 using the GHG Protocol, and show where the emissions and the reduction opportunities really are. Our guide to scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions explains the basics.

Common questions

Sustainability strategy, answered

What does a sustainability strategy consultant do?

Helps you identify your most material sustainability issues, set targets, build a transition plan and connect it to reporting, assurance and stakeholder expectations.

Do we need a sustainability strategy if we are not in scope of CSRD?

Often yes. Customers, lenders, investors and public sector buyers increasingly ask for targets and evidence of progress, whatever the regulation says.

Can you calculate our carbon footprint?

Yes. We measure scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions using the GHG Protocol and use the baseline to set targets and priorities.

Should we set science based targets?

If you have significant emissions or customers asking for them, usually yes. We assess whether SBTi targets suit you and help prepare the submission.

What do you charge?

A fixed price or day rate agreed before we start, after a short conversation about scope.
