Taking action on ESG and sustainability means change, and change is hard.

We work with you and your organisation to “decode” ESG and make it easier. Even second nature. The goal? Thriving businesses and a resilient and hopeful future for people and our planet.

  • We partner with clients to understand their unique business imperative for ESG and how sustainability will create value. We help you identify and prioritise goals and develop a strategic roadmap for ESG success.

    We provide implementation oversight, coaching or comprehensive project management as you roll out your transformation. And, each step of the way, we provide tools to embed this way of thinking into “how things are done in the day-to-day” of your business.

  • We design & deliver off-the-shelf and bespoke experiences that build confidence, capacity and a common and clear understanding of what ESG and sustainability means for your business and your clients.

    This includes training for your talent, clients, suppliers and decision-makers, including boards of directors and trustees.

  • We help you and your organisation “get to grips” with what ESG means for your business, sector and clients to enable thoughtful and meaningful decision-making and action on ESG and identify areas of opportunity and growth. We analyse what your business is already doing on ESG, where the gaps are, and what best practice for your industry or sector looks like.

    We also study the practices of your clients, partners and suppliers to identify areas of growth and opportunity for your organisation.

  • We design and help you deliver thought leadership and advocacy events. These are aimed at showcasing your ESG efforts; building ESG confidence and capacity within your organisation, your clients and suppliers; and developing the relationships required to address broader systemic challenges across sectors and between businesses.

  • We work with our partners to help you and your organisation effectively and authentically communicate your actions and vision on ESG and sustainability.

    We design and develop an internal and external marketing and communications strategy to reflect your ESG efforts and ambitions and the lessons learned along the way.

  • We work with our partners to make ESG impact easier to quantify and report on.

    MC at the African Property Investment Summit, 2022

  • Christina and Aimee joined us at our Annual Leadership Conference in September 2022, to talk about the business case of ESG integration for us a law firm. They motivated us by sharing the outlook on sustainable, long-term and inclusive business decision making. Their insights on ESG as a value creator - internally as a case for talent attraction and retention along with a positive work culture, and externally linked with a visible evolution in the market demand for legal services from the ‘responsible’ law firms, were appreciated by many during our conference. We are impressed with Christina and Aimee’s legal background and their good grasp on the subject.
