Companies need to take credible action on sustainability — we're here to help.
While we are not consultants, we do provide advisory support and thought partnership to companies in areas where we have deep expertise and where we believe the engagement can help us to develop new resources and tools that can be made available for public benefit.
Here's how we can help:
Your company is expected to have a robust understanding of its material impacts and topics. Many approaches to materiality assessments take resources without providing much value beyond disclosure. We have a structured approach to corporate sustainability materiality assessments that is grounded in context and impacts, aligns with emerging reporting standards (ISSB, ESRS, GRI), and yields useful insights for your corporate strategy and helps you prioritise where to take action.
Customers, investors, employees, and communities are all demanding credible action on sustainability.
We help you develop a credible sustainability strategy including benchmarking, setting credible sustainability goals and interim targets, and articulating a position on key issues.
We undertake rigorous maturity assessments of organisational sustainability practices using our Embedding Maturity Framework and Practices Assessment. This process helps companies to benchmark their sustainability efforts, understand maturity, and prioritise next steps.
As an organisation working at the cutting edge of corporate sustainability, we stretch companies' thinking, help them navigate complex issues, and pilot new tools and resources. We have extensive experience working with executive teams and boards.
We act as a sounding board, help to surface gaps, challenge your assumptions and thinking, and help you accelerate your path to embedding sustainability.
The Embedding Project was invaluable in helping us to develop our plans and commitments on climate and inequality. They challenged our thinking and brought forward excellent perspectives, all of which helped us to iterate towards a strong plan and roadmap.
