Strengthen: building the governance, systems and capability behind sustainability

Governance, operating models, policies, SOPs, ESG data controls, compliance preparedness and ISO management systems that let the business run sustainability itself.

The problem

Why this matters

Targets and disclosures depend on data that sits in spreadsheets, on unclear ownership and on manual checks. New obligations arrive faster than processes change, and assurance providers find gaps late in the cycle.

What you get

  • ESG governance structure, roles, responsibilities and operating model
  • ESG policies, processes and SOPs
  • ESG data, metric definitions and controls framework
  • Compliance obligation register, dashboards and preparedness reviews
  • Business requirements for ESG data platforms and dashboards
  • ISO 14001 / ISO 45001 management system implementation support
Approach

How we work on Strengthen

Map ownership

Map obligations, decision rights and roles across the board, management and functions.

Design the operating model

Set up governance, policies, processes and SOPs that functions can run without a large central team.

Control the data

Define metrics and build controls (validation, variance analysis, root-cause review) across Scope 1, 2 and 3 and other ESG data, plus determine business requirements for the ESG data system.

Challenge
GHG accounting depended on niche teams, frequently changing staff across departments and manual checks, which created data-quality risk across networks, data centres, offices, stores and warehouses.
Approach
Led the sustainability workstream for an enterprise ESG performance-management platform: translated carbon-accounting requirements into data, process and system requirements. After go-live, compared the data for the new reporting period with the previous period, performed variance analysis and undertook root cause analysis with the relevant departments.
Outcome
Less manual effort in next year's reporting cycle for offices, warehouses and retail stores; new controls such as unit checks and no-missing-data rules; and a follow-on project to automate the network energy-data pipeline.
