Why It Matters

As we navigate through this pivotal decade, the urgency for climate action has never been more pressing. If current trends continue, we risk depleting our forests and vital ecosystems by the end of the decade.

Each month brings us closer to 2030—a critical milestone for environmental targets.

Businesses, especially large enterprises, play a pivotal role in this scenario. They are at the heart of production, consumption, and waste, influencing economies and communities worldwide. This central position means they have both a significant responsibility and a unique opportunity to drive meaningful change, and influence change in their value chains.

A significant portion of a company’s environmental impact —in most cases over 80% of their carbon footprint, reside in scope 3 emissions with over 40% within their supply chain. By prioritising suppliers committed to environmental and social responsibility, businesses can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, mitigate risk and bolster their sustainability credentials.

Our Approach
Making sustainability work for you

1. ESG Risk Assessments
We identify supply chain risks and hidden opportunities to improve sustainability while ensuring full ESG compliance. You get a clearer picture of your procurement’s impact—and a strategy to improve it.

2. Pathway to Net Zero
Becoming carbon neutral and Net Zero is a major goal for many businesses, but it can feel overwhelming. We help you measure, reduce your carbon footprint, and what you can’t reduce offset, with practical strategies for short and long term.

3. Smarter Supplier Selection
The right suppliers make all the difference. We connect you with partners who share your sustainability values, ensuring ethical sourcing, long-term viability, and compliance with regulatory standards.

4. Sustainable Savings That Fund Your Future
Many believe sustainability comes at a cost—we prove the opposite. We uncover hidden savings in your procurement, freeing up funds to reinvest in sustainability initiatives—all without needing to expand your team.
