Manufacturing and retail
Navigating the complexities of the sustainability landscape
The manufacturing and retail sectors account for a significant proportion of global energy use and associated carbon emissions linked to production and transportation. At the same time, the extraction and production of raw materials in complex supply chains can result in material nature-related impacts and dependencies. Pollution from manufacturing plants, land conversion for industrial and retail facilities and waste disposal can further degrade the natural environment. Global supply chains also present many human rights considerations for businesses in these sectors.
These challenges, alongside meeting growing customer expectations for sustainable products and services, and navigating the rapidly evolving legislative landscape, including growing sustainability reporting requirements, mean the pressure is on to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and equitable future.
We work with clients in manufacturing and retail to undertake greenhouse gas assessments and decarbonisation strategy to climate risk assessments, nature impact and dependency assessments, sustainability strategy and environmental, social and governance (ESG). We also help our clients to address human rights challenges and provide training to help identify signs of exploitation and demonstrate best practice in worker welfare.
Working in partnership for sustainable business growth
Making sustainability second nature in your business requires engagement across the organisation, and this typically starts with board-level buy-in. A critical first step in our engagement with clients is to explore your sustainability needs, challenges and goals with senior leaders to understand how we can support you in providing the best possible outcomes for sustainable business growth that align with your aspirations.
As a team of nature, climate and social sustainability professionals, we bring our specialisms together to deliver a fully integrated service for our clients to help them meet their net zero and nature positive commitments, drive comprehensive business transformation and meet growing ESG requirements.
We pride ourselves on our ability to translate technical outputs into easily understood, actionable insights to support the integration of best practice on climate, nature and human rights into business operations across the value chain.
