For organisations that want to build a credible, long-term sustainability position — not just tick a box. We work as your embedded sustainability function, or alongside your existing team.

Book a Discovery CallUse-case scenarios from our IFRS S1/S2 MSME readiness programme, in development with PICG. The same pattern now reaches GCC suppliers through Decree Law 11, CBAM, and large-buyer Scope 3 demands — you may not be directly regulated, but your buyers are, and they need data from you.
A 120-employee yarn supplier sells 40% to a listed company and 30% to a German garment brand. Both have sent supplier questionnaires requiring Scope 1+2 emissions, energy and water data — and the company has never measured emissions.
First step: 12 months of electricity, gas and diesel bills cover ~90% of the footprint. Calculate a baseline, respond with real data, flag the quick wins.
A 60-employee concrete supplier to a large cement company is asked for annual fuel use, electricity data and transport emissions as the buyer builds its Scope 3 upstream inventory.
First step: a fleet + plant baseline (GHG Protocol factors) and a credible response — before a spend-based proxy makes the emissions look worse than reality.
A 45-employee processor wants to install solar and upgrade dryers via a bank's renewable-energy refinance scheme. A baseline isn't mandatory — but green-banking guidelines push lenders to assess environmental risk, and a baseline strengthens the application.
First step: a before/after emissions baseline alongside the solar feasibility quote, presented to the bank's green-finance team.
A 90-employee logistics company is told contract renewals will require carbon-per-shipment reporting and a fleet decarbonisation plan from two major FMCG clients.
First step: a fleet baseline, tonne-km allocation across shared routes, and comparative quotes for CNG vs. EV vs. route optimisation — turning "green logistics" into a premium service.
A manufacturer exporting 70% of production must complete the Higg FEM (scored 0–100 across energy, GHG, water, wastewater, air, waste and chemicals) plus achieve wastewater compliance — or risk losing preferred status.
First step: complete the Higg FEM self-assessment, map every energy source for the GHG section, audit the chemical inventory, and prepare a documentation pack for third-party verification.

Whitepaper · under reviewThe mid-market & SME engine of the UAE's Net Zero transition.
SMEs and mid-market firms are 94% of UAE companies, 64% of non-oil GDP and 86% of private-sector jobs — yet the most under-invested segment in the transition. We map the layered pressure (Decree Law 11, CBAM, supplier requirements, capital markets) and size the prize: an estimated USD 3.37bn economic uplift if the engine is activated.
