Advisory
The decisions businesses make today about resources, operations, supply chains and people will shape their costs, resilience and competitiveness tomorrow.
Issues traditionally treated as “sustainability” increasingly influence how businesses compete and perform. Energy and resource use affect costs. Customer and procurement expectations affect revenue and market access. Supply chain dependencies affect resilience. Skills and knowledge affect execution. And the quality of your data affects the decisions you can make.
Future Planet advisors help you cut through that complexity, identify risks and opportunities, and focus your efforts where they can create the greatest business value.
From setting direction to accelerating execution, we bring the expertise and practical perspective to connect sustainability with business performance, resilience and long-term value.
How We Help
A credible sustainability strategy starts with knowing what matters most to your business.
We help you identify your material impacts, risks and opportunities, then translate them into a strategy, governance structure and set of priorities that hold up to scrutiny from customers, investors and regulators. Whether you’re starting from scratch or reviewing what’s already in place, our advisors focus your effort on the actions that create the most business value.
A rapid diagnostic of where your business stands today across environmental, social and governance practices, benchmarked against good practice and emerging regulatory requirements. Surfaces existing strengths, gaps and quick wins to prioritise before committing to a fuller strategy or reporting programme.
Identify the sustainability topics that matter most to your business by assessing your impacts on people and the environment alongside the financial risks and opportunities they present. Forms the evidence base for strategy, target-setting and reporting.
Turn your material issues into a structured sustainability strategy with clear priorities, targets and KPIs, backed by the policies, governance and accountability needed to embed it across the business.
Climate change affects your costs, your risk exposure and your access to markets. We guide you from measuring your emissions through to setting credible, science-based targets and building the decarbonisation plan to reach them. We also help you understand and prepare for the physical and transition risks climate change presents to your operations, strategy and finances.
Build a credible picture of your Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by defining boundaries, assessing data, applying appropriate methodologies and developing a robust GHG inventory for reporting and decision-making.
Set credible, science-based emissions reduction targets aligned with SBTi by identifying emissions hotspots and assessing reduction opportunities across your operations and value chain.
Turn your targets into a practical, costed decarbonisation pathway, enabling you to prioritise the actions, investment and timeline needed to reduce emissions across your operations and value chain.
Understand your exposure to physical and transition climate risks by assessing potential business impacts and integrating climate considerations into strategy, risk management, planning and decision-making.
The reporting landscape is expanding – European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard (VSME), Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and more – and the right framework depends on your size, sector and stakeholders.
We help you cut through that complexity: identifying which standards genuinely apply to you, structuring your data and disclosures, and producing reporting that satisfies compliance requirements while telling a clear, credible story about your performance.
Compile and present your sustainability data and performance credibly, aligning with the standards and frameworks most relevant to your stakeholders, from voluntary disclosures through to full ESG reports.
Prepare for compliance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by prioritising the ESRS disclosure requirements that are material to your business, structuring your data and drafting a credible Sustainability Statement.
Prepare climate-related financial disclosures aligned with the TCFD framework – covering governance, strategy, risk management and metrics – to meet investor and stakeholder expectations.
Prepare a Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard (VSME) disclosure aligned with the simplified requirements for SMEs and non-listed companies, helping you respond to customer and financing requests without the full burden of ESRS.
Some of the greatest sustainability risks and opportunities in your business sit outside your own operations, in your supply chain. We help you understand where your critical dependencies and vulnerabilities lie, strengthen supplier engagement, and embed sustainable procurement practices – building a value chain that’s more resilient to disruption and better aligned with the expectations of your customers and partners.
Strengthen supply-chain resilience by identifying critical dependencies and vulnerabilities, assessing exposure to disruption and developing practical actions to manage risk, improve business continuity and support long-term performance.
Embed sustainability into procurement using ISO 20400 principles by identifying priorities, assessing current practices, strengthening supplier engagement and integrating environmental, social and economic considerations into procurement decisions.
