Our offerings

  • ESG strategy

    Working with your team and your stakeholders, we provide you with a strategic lever to understand how sustainability can drive value, engage new audiences, and build a deeper connection to the core business functions. This includes undertaking a baseline inventory of your carbon emissions and/or DEI workforce; conducting materiality assessments to prioritize sustainability topics; assessing new market entry opportunities (and your readiness to meet them); and defining a go-to-market approach.

  • Decarbonization

    Our team is here to aid you in moving toward a more decarbonized and electric future. This encompasses understanding and optimizing the energy efficiency of your built environment/infrastructure, transportation, and supply chain; setting science-based targets for improvements; and establishing environmental justice initiatives to provide equitable access to energy and resources and improve health and community outcomes.

  • Climate impact

    Building resilience means understanding what a changing climate means for your value chain. This requires strategic planning, understanding physical and transition risk – from natural hazards to exposure to upcoming regulations – and carefully disclosing risks and mitigation strategies to stakeholders and regulators. The value is a clear understanding of business continuity and opportunities to scale for sustainable growth. We’ll help you take a forward look into the future and develop adaptive and resilient approaches.

  • Social impact

    Our social solution considers social impacts across your organization and value chain, including workforce diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), culture, employee safety, consumer protection, human rights, modern slavery prevention, and board diversity. We assess how embedding a social strategy can provide benefits inside and outside your organization to increase shareholder value, improve your employee engagement, and ultimately build your brand in the marketplace. Our health equity services focus on ensuring that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to achieve optimal health, which may be impacted by both social and environmental factors. We identify barriers to health resources and provide tailored solutions to reduce inequalities, promote access to care, and create inclusive practices that improve the day-to-day lives of those who have been disadvantaged.

  • ESG reporting and communications

    We support your organization in communicating not only the progress and metrics required for regulatory compliance, but also the benefits realized and the return on sustainable investments made by your organization. This includes being ready to report (assurance readiness), developing your emissions narrative, and having clear metrics and KPIs, as well as engaging with your board, developing a mature committee, and making ESG a core pillar of your company culture.
