01 / DIAGNOSE AND PRIORITISE

Work out what matters

There is a lot a business could do on sustainability.

We help you understand where your attention will make the most difference — for business results, for people and for the planet.

We help you understand where your attention will make the most difference — for business results, for people and for the planet.

We help you understand the issues affecting your business and the people around it. We listen, look at the evidence and talk through the choices with your team, so you can decide what deserves your focus.

When we can help

You’re starting a strategy, refreshing an existing one or trying to make sense of changing expectations. Perhaps different teams have different priorities. You need a clearer picture before deciding what to do.

Materiality and double materiality

Work out which sustainability issues matter most. We look at your effects on people and the environment, and the risks and opportunities for your business. When a formal double materiality assessment is needed, we document the evidence and reasoning so the findings can support reporting as well as decisions.

Benchmarking and looking ahead

See how your approach compares with other businesses and where expectations are heading. We help you to understand what peers are doing, where you have strengths and where there is room to improve.

Listening to stakeholders

People inside and outside your business often see things you won’t find in a report. We help you identify whose views will be useful, then use interviews, surveys or working conversations to understand what matters to them.

Taking stock of your current approach

Look at what is already working and what needs attention. We review your strategy, implementation approach, governance and capabilities with the people who know how things work in practice.

Agreeing the priorities

Bring your team together around the findings and build alignment on how the business moves forward. We help you engage the right people, work through the choices and agree where to act first, what needs more thought and what can wait.

What you leave with

Clarity

A clear view of the issues that matter and the evidence behind them.

Perspective

An honest assessment of your strengths and gaps.

Priorities

Agreed priorities that you can use to shape the next stage of work.

Working together

We agree the questions the work needs to answer, involve the right people and make time to discuss what the findings mean. The aim is to help you make decisions and move forward.
