Strategy

Energy transition strategy

As the transition towards a decarbonised future continues at pace, we support our clients at the c-suite and board level to develop strategies that create value for shareholders and the organisation as a whole. We leverage our deep industry experience to bring a unique understanding of key energy transition drivers, to create a bespoke strategic narrative for your organisation and an investment plan that is genuinely actionable in the market.

Sustainable business strategy

For us, sustainability refers to an organisation’s ability to achieve its strategic objectives and reduce its negative social and environmental impacts. We’re helping the world’s leading organisations re-imagine the role of business to create wealth for shareholders, improve people’s lives and restore nature. We help clients navigate the complexities and trade-offs, creating impact that lasts, while driving profitability. As a B Corp, we’ve put sustainability at the heart of our business strategy.

Understanding impacts risks

If you don’t fully understand the problem, you won’t be able to fix it. That’s why we start with a thorough assessment of how our clients’ are affecting the world around them.

To do that, we:

• Unlock data-driven insights that baseline a company’s positive and negative impacts on people and planet across the entire value chain
• Explore how the changing internal and external context is shifting the risk profile: creating new opportunities as well as threats to achieving strategic goals
• Evaluate the risks and potential liabilities to be proactively managed across the value chain.

Designing a sustainable business strategy

Embracing sustainability isn’t about rebranding and coming up with snappy taglines. It requires a fundamental rethink of how you do business.

That’s why we help our clients:

• Rethink their organisation’s purpose and vision to have a positive impact on the world
• Revise the strategic priorities to incorporate sustainability
• Identify ways to change the core processes, decision-making criteria and governance across the organisation
• Surface opportunities to increase the sustainability of the entire value chain
• Develop a strategic roadmap to guide implementation.

Transforming the value chain

After helping our clients create a sustainable business strategy, we support the organisation as it translates purpose and strategic intent into action.
To do that, we:

• Create metrics and processes to measure, track and report on progress against sustainability targets
• Focus on people, identifying opportunities to bring together stakeholders from within the business and across the value chain to deliver positive outcomes for profit, people and planet
• Help our clients implement the changes necessary to their strategic objectives, including sustainability ambitions
• Hold ourselves and our clients to account, checking that the intended benefits are delivered
• Work in an agile manner – adapting and enhancing our approach as we learn to deliver maximum impact
• Provide a programme of change management and coaching support to embed changes on the ground.

relationships.
