STRATEGIC ADVISORY
From Ambition to an Auditable Sustainability Strategy
Your board set the mandate. Regulators set the deadline. We build the strategy, the targets and the reporting that hold up under scrutiny.
The challenge
Disclosure rules differ across the Middle East, UK, EU, US, Canada and South Asia, often for the same reporting year.
Net-zero targets get announced before emissions baseline is measured, yet these pledges lack concrete credible plans.
Unverifiable claims carry real exposure; what regulators call it non-compliance, investors call it greenwashing risk.
Most organizations sit somewhere between reactive compliance and an embedded strategy, and most strategies are written for the reactive stage and never move past it.
How we approach it
Diagnose
disclosure rules differ across the Middle East, UK, EU, US, Canada and South Asia, often for the same reporting year.
Design
build the targets, the transition plan and the governance structure, each with an owner and a cost.
Deliver
stay through implementation and stakeholder engagement, so the plan becomes practice.
What we deliver
ESG and sustainability reporting
the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (CSRD/ESRS), IFRS S1 & S2 issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), the EU Taxonomy and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), mapped to the markets you operate in.
- Gap assessment against your current disclosures
- First-time filing support and assurance readiness
- Multi-framework reporting built from one data set
Net-zero and decarbonization strategy
Scope 1, 2 and 3 baselining, target setting and abatement planning.
- Emissions inventory across the full value chain
- Science-based target design, aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and sector pathways
- Marginal abatement cost curves and sequencing
Becoming a sustainable business
embedding sustainability into how the business runs, not just how it reports.
- Sustainability strategy and target operating model
- Single and double materiality assessment
- ESG governance, policy and board reporting structure
- Climate and social risk and opportunity assessment
Carbon strategy
positioning the business for carbon markets and carbon as a balance-sheet asset.
- Carbon pricing and internal carbon price design
- Carbon asset identification, ahead of Capital Access monetization
- Compliance and voluntary market positioning, including Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) aligned standards
Circular economy and value chain
supplier standards, procurement policy, portfolio and materiality analysis.
Public policy and national strategy
NDC-aligned climate policy, sectoral roadmaps and disclosure frameworks for governments and development agencies.
The Data Behind It
- Every target and every disclosure is tested against your actual data before it is signed off, not after.
- The same validated data set that supports your strategy also feeds Capital Access and Data & Technology, so the numbers never have to be rebuilt.
What it Means for You
Contracts and licences hold
Supply-chain audits and regulator filings, including from insurers and lenders assessing your risk, are answered from one defensible position.
1
Compliance cost drops
One data set serves every framework, instead of one project per regulation.
2
Strategy becomes financeable
Transition plans and carbon assets are structured for the Capital Access pillar.
3
The result
a sustainability strategy your regulators accept, your auditors can trace, and your board can stand behind without caveats.
