Advisory services for flexible, scalable ESG support
The ESG landscape is evolving rapidly, and with it, the way organisations seek advisory support is also shifting.
Tightening budgets, increased need to build in-house capability, and an expanding scope of ESG requirements mean that organisations now need more flexible and tailored support than ever before.
Learn more about our four collaborative solutions today.
Adapting ESG advisory for a changing landscape
Some businesses are still at the start of their sustainability journey and require executive-level guidance, while others simply need cost-effective, hands-on support to execute their ESG initiatives.
To meet these diverse needs, we’ve adapted how we work—offering everything from traditionally scoped end-to-end consulting projects to fully embedded sustainability teams and hybrid models in between.
At Edge Impact, our priority is delivering real impact alongside our clients while helping them build the internal capability to drive sustainable value.
Addressing your ESG challenges with flexible solutions
Your ESG challenges
- Limited internal capacity to deliver sustainability projects.
- Difficulties accessing the right technical sustainability expertise when needed.
- Limited internal knowledge and capability to oversee and implement sustainability projects.
- High administrative load managing multiple consultants or contracts.
Our ESG solutions
- Sustainability capacity without the headcount cost: Access to a full sustainability team without the long-term overhead.
- Access to the full suite of technical sustainability expertise: Strategic advice through to technical implementation from carbon accounting to modern slavery compliance.
- Ability to engage and upskill internal stakeholders:
Workshops, webinars and expert support to build capability across your team. - Minimal administration: Clearly defined scope with hours allocated per month and a single monthly invoice.
This year is a big one for our clients as mandatory climate reporting starts and the sprint to 2030 targets is on.
To meet these challenges, we’re finding ourselves working in more flexible ways – from more traditional consulting projects through to embedded engagements, and everything in between.
What matters to us is that we drive impact together with our clients and help them build their capability to deliver sustainable value.
