Leading the Future of Responsible Business

An ESG consultancy helps organisations understand, measure, and improve their environmental, social, and governance performance. In the UK, this includes aligning with frameworks such as TCFD, ESRS, SECR, and the UK Corporate Governance Code, and turning high‑level ambitions into practical, measurable actions.

Scotland has ambitious climate targets, including a legally binding commitment to reach net‑zero by 2045. ESG consultancy helps Scottish organisations comply with local expectations, prepare for public‑sector procurement requirements, and demonstrate responsible business practices to customers, investors, and communities.

We work with SMEs, mid‑sized companies, and larger organisations across sectors such as manufacturing, engineering, construction, logistics, professional services, and public‑sector supply chains. Any organisation facing sustainability, reporting, or tender requirements can benefit.

Key regulations and expectations include SECR, TCFD‑aligned climate disclosures, UK Corporate Governance Code provisions, and emerging ESRS requirements for EU‑linked operations. Depending on your size, sector, and structure, additional requirements may apply through lenders, investors, or public‑sector frameworks.

We help identify which regulations apply, build data collection processes, prepare audit‑ready reports, and integrate governance and risk management practices so that compliance becomes part of business‑as‑usual, not a one‑off exercise.

Scotland’s net‑zero target, local authority planning requirements, and public‑sector procurement criteria increasingly expect credible climate and ESG evidence. We support organisations operating in Scotland to align with these expectations in a practical, proportionate way.

Carbon accounting measures your organisation’s greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3. It underpins SECR reporting, net‑zero strategies, supply‑chain disclosures, and investor expectations, and helps identify where emissions — and costs — can be reduced most effectively.

ISO 14064 provides a structured, internationally recognised standard for quantifying, managing, and reporting greenhouse gas emissions. Using ISO 14064 improves credibility, consistency, and acceptance of your carbon data in SECR reporting, net‑zero planning, and supply‑chain disclosures.

Carbon neutrality focuses on balancing emissions through reductions and high‑quality offsets, often following PAS 2060. Net‑zero requires deep reductions across all scopes, with minimal reliance on offsets and alignment to climate science. We help organisations choose the right pathway and avoid greenwashing risks.

Most baseline carbon footprints and high‑level net‑zero plans take between 4 and 8 weeks, depending on organisation size, data quality, and the level of detail required. More complex, multi‑site or supply‑chain‑intensive organisations may require a phased approach.

CDP is a global disclosure platform for environmental reporting, including climate, water, and supply‑chain performance. Participating in CDP can improve investor confidence, meet customer expectations, and strengthen your position in supply chains where CDP reporting is becoming standard.

We help collect and structure data, respond to CDP questionnaires, improve scoring over time, and ensure your disclosures are consistent with your broader ESG and climate reporting, reducing duplication and reporting fatigue.

EcoVadis is a widely used sustainability rating platform for suppliers. A strong EcoVadis score can directly influence your ability to win and retain contracts with large customers who use the platform to assess ESG performance across their supply chains.

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) provides a recognised framework for setting greenhouse gas reduction targets aligned with climate science. It gives stakeholders confidence that your net‑zero or reduction commitments are credible and aligned with global climate goals.

The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) places a carbon price on certain imported goods based on their embedded emissions. UK manufacturers exporting covered products to the EU must provide robust, often verified emissions data to comply with CBAM reporting and avoid penalty costs.

The European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) apply to companies in scope of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, including some non‑EU companies with significant EU operations. UK and Scottish companies may be indirectly affected through EU‑based parents, customers, or investors requiring ESRS‑aligned data.

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) is a UK requirement for certain large companies and LLPs to report their energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy‑efficiency actions. We support organisations in building SECR‑ready data systems and preparing compliant disclosures.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental impacts of a product, process, or service across its entire life cycle — from raw materials and manufacturing to use and end‑of‑life. It helps organisations understand hotspots and make more sustainable design and sourcing decisions.

ISO 14040 defines the principles and framework for conducting an LCA, including goal and scope definition, inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation. It ensures LCAs are carried out in a structured and transparent way.

ISO 14044 sets the detailed requirements and guidelines for conducting an LCA, including data quality rules, system boundaries, allocation methods, and reporting. Together, ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 form the core standards for credible, defensible LCAs.

WLCA measures the total carbon impact of a building, infrastructure asset, or product across its full life, including embodied and operational emissions. In the UK, WLCA is increasingly required for planning, public‑sector procurement, and sustainable construction standards.

No. SMEs increasingly face ESG expectations from customers, lenders, and public‑sector buyers. Tailored, scalable ESG support helps smaller organisations meet these expectations without adding unnecessary complexity or cost.

Many tenders now require Carbon Reduction Plans, sustainability policies, ESG statements, and sometimes emissions data. We help suppliers prepare the necessary documentation and build internal systems to support repeatable, credible responses.

We focus on practical first steps: understanding key impacts, setting basic policies, identifying data that is already available, and building a roadmap that can evolve over time. The goal is progress and credibility, not perfection on day one.

Large organisations increasingly expect suppliers to provide carbon data, ESG policies, and evidence of responsible practices. This is driven by regulations, investor expectations, and net‑zero commitments that extend beyond their own operations into their value chains.

Yes. We help interpret customer requirements, gather and structure the right data, prepare responses for platforms such as EcoVadis, CDP Supply Chain, and bespoke questionnaires, and identify long‑term improvements that strengthen your position in critical supply chains.

Common frameworks include TCFD for climate risk, GRI and ESRS for broader sustainability, SASB for sector‑specific metrics, CDP for environmental disclosure, and SECR for mandatory UK carbon and energy reporting. We help determine which are relevant to your organisation and integrate them sensibly.

We combine data collection, recognised methodologies, and appropriate frameworks to measure emissions, energy use, resource efficiency, social indicators, and governance practices, then translate this into clear, decision‑useful reports for boards, investors, and other stakeholders.

Yes, when done honestly and consistently. High‑quality ESG reporting builds trust with customers, employees, investors, lenders, and communities, and can support access to new markets, better procurement outcomes, and stronger brand positioning.

Yes. We deliver practical, remote‑friendly training on ESG fundamentals, carbon accounting, ISO‑aligned approaches, net‑zero strategy, and sustainability reporting, tailored to leadership teams, operational staff, or specialist roles as needed.

External support can accelerate progress, but long‑term success depends on internal understanding and ownership. Building capability within your teams ensures that ESG and climate considerations shape everyday decisions, not just annual reports.
