Years sector experience

Building a more sustainable
future through innovation

We work with boards and reporting teams to turn sustainability from an annual disclosure exercise into something the business is actually run on.
A materiality workshop in progress
An analyst reconciling a Scope 3 inventory
An assurance meeting reviewing evidence

A sustainability
roadmap built to last

Most ESG programs fail on execution rather than on ambition. Our four phases are structured to produce something that survives a leadership change, a regulatory update and an investor question.
94% SBTi approval rate on first submission
CSRD filings completed for 40+ companies in year one
Zero material audit findings across every assurance engagement
01
Phase 1
6–7 weeks
Baseline & assessment
Emissions inventory, materiality matrix, regulatory gap analysis and peer benchmarking, to a baseline you can defend.
02
Phase 2
2–3 weeks
Target setting
Science-based target formulation, SBTi submission preparation and board-level agreement on who owns what.
03
Phase 3
4–5 weeks
Roadmap design
Abatement pathways mapped onto the capital plan, a supplier engagement strategy, and a portfolio ordered by cost per tonne.
04
Phase 4
3–4 weeks
Implementation
Change management, data system integration, internal capability building and quarterly review against the committed milestones.

Depth that distinguishes
us from generalists

ESG consulting has grown quickly, and most of what it sells is a checklist. What we offer is the technical depth that comes from decades in the field before any of it was called ESG.
Former regulators & standard setters
Former CDP directors and European Commission advisors — people who helped write the frameworks you now have to comply with.
Assurance ready from day one
Every deliverable is built to survive third-party verification. ISAE 3000 is applied to all quantitative work as a default, not an upgrade.
Proprietary analytics platform
Our platform ingests your operational data, maps the Scope 3 categories against it, and leaves an audit trail behind every figure.
40-country regulatory coverage
In-house expertise across the EU, UK, US, Singapore and APAC regimes, so the program holds wherever you happen to operate.

Every engagement is led by a partner-level practitioner. You will not be handed to a junior team after the first meeting.

customers are saying

Nine organizations that between them cover most of what we are asked to do, and what happened after the report was filed.

Sustainability Director, Halcyon Foods
“They cut operational emissions across eleven facilities without a single production interruption, and they found most of it in controls and scheduling rather than capital. The audit that followed was the calmest one we have had.”
“We had been quoted a substation upgrade and a two-year wait. Earthly reworked the load management and we energized in five months on the connection we already had. That single piece of analysis paid their fee many times over.”

Emily Rodriguez

“What I valued most was being told plainly that our original target was not achievable on our capital plan. Nobody else had said it. We reset to something we could actually hit and have beaten it two years running.”
Michael Chen
Michael Chen
Head of Procurement, Arbor Manufacturing
“Our Scope 3 number went from a spend-based estimate to supplier-specific data for our top forty vendors in about seven months. For the first time the figure moves when we actually change something.”
“They came at sustainability data with a controls mindset, which is what finally made it legible to my team. Our first limited assurance engagement finished with no material findings.”
Isabella Rossi

Group Finance Director, Meridian Estates

“Six hundred and forty members had to understand and approve the structure. Earthly ran the consultation in Spanish, with our notary, and never once treated the cooperative as an obstacle to the project.”

Director of Research, Caithness Land Trust
“The survey work was far more rigorous than we expected, and it changed the restoration design substantially. Our water table is now within target for ninety-two percent of readings against fifty-one at baseline.”
“They rebuilt our construction schedule backward from vessel availability, which nobody had done in two previous feasibility studies. First power came seven weeks early.”

“Earthly delivered our 320 MW solar portfolio six weeks ahead of schedule and eight percent under budget. The monitoring platform has taken about a third out of our operations and maintenance cost since.”
