Turning sustainability pressure into strategic advantage

“We needed an external perspective that could move quickly and speak the language of both risk and execution. The work was structured, well-judged, and grounded in how organisations actually operate. It helped us tighten governance while still keeping momentum, which is a difficult balance to strike.”

“They brought order to a process that had grown fragmented over time. What stood out was the balance between rigour and realism - nothing felt academic or disconnected from operations. The outputs were clear, defensible, and usable, which allowed us to progress faster internally and reduce friction with senior management.”

“What we appreciated most was the ability to translate complex requirements into something our teams could actually work with. The guidance was practical, calm, and well-structured, without overloading us with theory. We moved from uncertainty to a clear plan quickly, and stakeholder discussions became noticeably easier. The work helped us regain control of both timelines and expectations.”

“The engagement helped us sharpen focus across the portfolio without creating unnecessary complexity. The team challenged assumptions constructively and gave us options rather than prescriptions. This made decision-making easier at investment committee level and improved consistency across assets, especially where local/regional teams had very different starting points.”

“They brought structure to an area that had felt vague and reactive. The outputs helped us prioritise effort and align timelines across projects. It was particularly useful in preparing for discussions with lenders and external advisors, where consistency and clarity matter.”

“ESG diligence is often either fluffy or unbearably long. This was neither. They triaged what mattered, translated it into deal-relevant implications, and gave us a usable action list for day one. The output was concise, commercially grounded, and easy to take into IC discussions. It materially improved how we price risk and talk about value creation.”

“They were good at turning complexity into a decision. The approach was structured and direct - priorities, dependencies, and a realistic sequence. The team asked the uncomfortable questions early, which saved time later. We ended up with stronger internal governance and a clearer view of where we need to invest effort to reduce risk (including greenwashing risk) and meet expectations.”
