We analyse material flows and life-cycle stages to identify opportunities for reduction, reuse and recovery.

• Map material flows to identify critical inputs and losses.
• Assess product life cycles to identify the stages with the greatest impacts.
• Identify opportunities to reduce, reuse and recover materials.
• Prioritise triple-impact practices and design or operational improvements by feasibility.

We develop management plans and review procedures, service providers, indicators and records to trace waste from the point of generation.

• Assess waste streams and generation points and review applicable requirements.
• Design segregation, storage and collection procedures for solid and electronic waste.
• Monitor providers, records and indicators to support traceability.
• Define contingency measures for waste management incidents.

We segment suppliers by risk exposure, define ESG assessment criteria and support improvement plans across the value chain.

• Segment suppliers by exposure to environmental and social risks.
• Define ESG criteria and evidence for assessment and procurement.
• Assess gaps and prepare suppliers for certification where applicable.
• Develop improvement plans and monitor commitments across the value chain.

We map stakeholders and design surveys, interviews and dialogue sessions. We turn findings into management priorities.

• Assess social and human rights issues, including stakeholder and risk mapping.
• Design surveys, interviews and dialogue sessions to understand expectations.
• Analyse findings to define priority issues and engagement actions.
• Define channels, responsibilities and how often to follow up on the dialogue.

We define expected outcomes, how to measure them and what evidence is needed. We assess programme contributions to inform decisions on continuing or improving them.

• Design and review initiatives on social investment, wellbeing, diversity and inclusion.
• Develop indicators and baselines to track change over time.
• Identify data sources, evidence and responsibilities for collecting information.
• Assess outcomes and social return on investment where applicable.

We define scope, indicators and content under the applicable framework. We review consistency, supporting evidence and gaps before external review.

• Define the reporting scope under the applicable standards and link it to SDG targets.
• Organise the reporting schedule, responsibilities and data sources.
• Consolidate indicators and check that they are consistent with claims and supporting evidence.
• Identify gaps and prepare evidence for external review.

We design indicators, data entry workflows, responsibilities and quality controls. We help select analytics tools and, where useful, AI applications with human oversight.

• Map sources and systems to identify where ESG data originates.
• Design indicators and dashboards to monitor management priorities.
• Define permissions, responsibilities, reporting frequency and data entry validation.
• Assess analytics and AI tools with human oversight.

We plan sampling and monitoring of water, effluents, air and soil. We interpret results and propose follow-up measures.

• Sample surface water, groundwater, effluents and leachate for physicochemical and microbiological analysis.
• Analyse soils and detect target substances using chromatographic and spectrometric techniques as appropriate.
• Monitor air pollutants and model dispersion where applicable.
• Interpret results and recommend monitoring and mitigation measures.

We assess workplace conditions and drinking water quality, and develop recommendations and improvement plans for occupational health and safety.

• Measure workplace noise, vibration, lighting and heat stress.
• Assess particulate matter, welding fumes and acidic or alkaline mists.
• Check electrical earthing, fire load and electrical risks based on facility conditions.
• Analyse drinking water quality and develop occupational health and safety improvement plans.

We assess impacts from industrial, urban and infrastructure projects and prepare documentation for review by the competent authority.

• Identify and assess impacts at different project stages.
• Model emissions and effluent dispersion where applicable.
• Define prevention, mitigation and environmental monitoring measures.
• Prepare technical submissions, support hearings and respond to the authority’s observations.

We help organisations obtain and renew environmental permits and approvals. We prepare facility reports and supporting technical documentation based on the applicable requirements.

• Review production processes and calculate the environmental complexity rating where applicable.
• Prepare descriptive reports on the facility and the environmental measures it has implemented.
• Verify sector-specific requirements and recommend improvements.
• Manage reclassifications, renewals and updates with the competent authority.

We prepare studies and technical documentation for water abstraction, water use and effluent discharge permits.

• Prepare hydrogeological studies for preliminary surface water or groundwater abstraction feasibility assessments.
• Design treatment systems to support discharge permit applications.
• Carry out hydrological and hydraulic modelling to size infrastructure and develop contingency plans.
