What we do
CSRD readiness
Whether you are already required to report against the CSRD framework, or will be mandated to in the near future, we carry out a deep dive into the disclosure requirements of each ESRS to provide you with a robust gap analysis. We then walk you through tactical advice to help you better understand the framework and effectively prepare for the reporting obligations.
ISSB / UK SRS S1 and S2 support
We support alignment with ISSB standards and the emerging UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS), including S1 and S2. This includes mapping existing disclosures, identifying areas for enhancement, and ensuring consistency between financial, sustainability and narrative reporting. Our focus is on ensuring disclosures are coherent, comparable and aligned with investor expectations.
TCFD and climate disclosure support
We support the ongoing application and evolution of TCFD‑aligned disclosure, including integration with ISSB and regulatory developments. The aim is to ensure climate disclosures are structured, credible and clearly linked to business strategy and risk management.
Sustainability reporting
Reporting is what turns strategy into accountability, and we work to support the content, design and creation of your sustainability reporting, whether it is standalone or forms part of your annual report.
We ensure the effectiveness of your reporting suite by crafting compelling reports that resonate with your stakeholders and are designed to authentically represent your story. We provide end-to-end support to bring your reporting suite to life, all the way from theming and storyboarding through to comprehensive content plans and to the design and production of the final report.
Data, metrics, and evidence readiness
Effective reporting depends on reliable, decision‑useful data. We support organisations in defining metrics, improving data collection processes, and establishing the systems and controls needed to support disclosure and assurance. This includes aligning data with regulatory requirements and ensuring consistency across reporting outputs.
Voluntary frameworks and rating support
We support engagement with key voluntary frameworks and ESG ratings, helping organisations navigate differing expectations while maintaining consistency across disclosures. This includes frameworks such as GRI and SASB, as well as ESG ratings and assessments including EcoVadis, MSCI and Sustainalytics.
CDP
We support organisations across the full CDP disclosure process, from initial gap analysis through to submission. This includes reviewing responses against CDP’s scoring methodology, providing mock scoring to identify gaps, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement. This allows organisations to take a proactive approach to improving performance. Beyond disclosure, the CDP process provides a structured way to “get under the hood” of climate governance, strategy, risk management and data. We use this insight to develop targeted roadmaps that strengthen both disclosure quality and underlying resilience over time.
TNFD, nature and biodiversity
Businesses of all sizes are recognising the growing significance of incorporating nature and biodiversity into their ESG strategies. We support businesses to understand their interactions with nature, assess any nature impacts and dependencies, identify the associated risks and opportunities, and report upon them as part of the new TNFD framework.
