Doing the right thing for a sustainable future

Sustainability goes beyond electric cars, wind turbines and Fairtrade chocolate. Narrow views of sustainability will leave us with very few options.

Our independence means we’re free to think beyond standard environmental, social and governance (ESG) labels and start conversations that consider the full universe of sustainable action.

From holistic data-driven approaches towards impact investing and responsible business strategies, to simpler, everyday improvements that combine social and environmental benefits. Whatever your goals and ambitions, we’re ready to talk and help shape a more sustainable future for you.

Our approach to sustainability

Our insight-led advice and consultancy reflects our independence and our own sustainability journey. Considering the full universe of sustainability, we use our analytical, risk management and communication expertise to deliver solutions designed around your unique business challenges. 

We think wider, looking beyond environmental, social and governance (ESG) labels to consider wellbeing, productivity, community and risk management as part of the bigger picture.

We bring clarity to data so you can achieve your unique sustainability objectives – such as carbon emissions reporting – and make a positive impact for your people, employees, businesses, communities and future generations.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY SERVICES

 

Our commitment to sustainability

We are on our own journey towards a sustainable future and acknowledge that we’re still learning and evolving. Some of our initiatives to significantly reduce our carbon footprint by 2025 include solar panel and EV charging point installation; adopting green procurement practices across all our offices to purchase responsibly, reduce waste and increase recycling; and flexible sustainability benefits for our people to encourage active lifestyles and actions that reduce carbon emissions.

Leading by example, be it through our net zero pledge, our role as co-founding signatory of the Net Zero Investment Consultants Initiative, or our membership of the Pensions Climate Risk Industry Group (PCRIG), we keep sustainability at the heart of our business.

We apply what we’ve learned, sharing insights, skills and expertise with you to add maximum value as your sustainability partnerenabling your business, and ours, to travel further and faster towards our shared sustainability goals.
