Sustainable Advantage is uniquely placed to advise companies on their ESG journey, helping them embrace ESG for strategic advantage. Our client base ranges from large single site organisations to billion pound multi-national organisations operating globally. Our expertise spans the whole of ESG and our clients operate in every sector.

The support we deliver goes beyond consultancy, with a team of experts on hand to help our clients improve their ESG performance. Highly skilled consultants are supported with cutting edge software solutions that assess ESG performance, gather metric information and convert this into useful dashboard reports accessible 24/7. Our consultants then work alongside management teams to embed solutions.

ESG

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) spans a number of business functions and has become a strategic area of focus for companies globally. Being able to demonstrate your ESG credentials has never been more important to retain current clients and gain new ones, attract bright talent who are passionate about sustainability and satisfy the various regulatory requirements of SECR, ESOS, TCFD, SFDR, not to mention all the reporting frameworks such as CDP, GRI and Science Based Targets.

Our support to clients ranges from an initial ESG assessment and Board level strategy / advisory role through to full implementation support. All delivered internally via a very experienced team.

Energy

The energy markets are facing pressures not seen before. Our expert teams are able to advise on timing as well as running extensive energy renewal tender processes. Post procurement, we are validating invoices to ensure our clients only pay for the energy they use. Our software platforms analyse usage patterns and highlight areas for further investigation and improvement. Technical specialists are available to conduct site surveys, train staff and recommend CapEx projects to reduce consumption.

Waste

Waste has certainly moved up the strategic agenda as companies seek to increase recycling, divert waste from landfill and reduce single use plastics. Many companies struggle with reporting on their waste activities as they have multiple waste streams collected by multiple suppliers across multiple locations. Sustainable Advantage takes on the role of a waste management company whilst liaising with the various suppliers on your behalf.

Infrastructure

Sustainable Advantage’s utilities team manage the upgrade, removal, diversion, installation and commissioning of all types of utilities for many of the largest prime contractors in the UK. Our specialist teams can handle all aspects of power, water, gas and communications from initial site review and bid support through site delivery to metering and energisation.

Supporting Private Equity

Our Private Equity clients seek to create shareholder value through investing in ambitious companies led by dynamic teams but are equally focussed on responsible investing. This means ensuring new investee companies are considering all stakeholders in business decisions – employees, clients, suppliers, local communities and environmental impact.

Sustainable Advantage provides Due Diligence support pre-deal, creates 100-day action plans and is on hand to deliver a range of improvement actions, critically working with bid teams to be able to answer the increasingly voluminous and complex ESG questions from their Limited Partner investors.
