This comes at a critical time. Companies must navigate a highly fragmented regulatory and investor reporting landscape, while also facing geopolitical tensions, extreme weather events and other regional disruptions that threated operational continuity across supply chains.
For example, the World Economic Forum estimates that businesses failing to adapt to climate risks (like extreme heat) could be losing up to 7% of annual earnings by 2035. And yet, data from S&P Global indicates only 1 in 5 companies has an adaptation plan to address these.
The right support helps businesses to accelerate their sustainability and due diligence efforts, impact and long-term resilience in both their own operations and their supply chain.
Six consulting solutions built for real-world business needs
- Regulatory Readiness: An assessment of the regulatory requirements that are potentially relevant to a business, along with a review of gaps in existing policies and processes to help teams prepare.
- Sustainability Kick-Starter: Equips teams with foundational sustainability knowledge and creates alignment across a company and its value chain.
- Climate Accelerator: Helps turn climate risks and complex regulatory regulatory requirements into strategic opportunities for collaboration and growth.
- ESG Risk Assessment: Delivers robust sustainability risk mapping and analysis at scale to support compliance, resilience and strategic planning.
- Human Rights Due Diligence Accelerator: Aligns a business with the global human rights standards that underpin many laws, using an OECD-guided framework and implementation plan.
- Sustainability Roadmap: Provides a strategic, phased plan to meet regulatory demands, align internal teams and embed sustainability into core operations.
Each of these solutions is designed to fill critical in-house capability gaps and unlock strategic value through increased supply chain visibility, proactive sustainability risk management and tangible progress. They can be delivered independently, or combined into a more in-depth and completely customised service.
