Three engagements, sized to fit where you are

Each engagement is designed to meet a firm at its current stage — not to push it toward a destination it has not yet chosen.

ESG Direction Engagement

ESG Direction Engagement

A considered starting point for firms where overseas buyers are beginning to ask quiet questions. We map material environmental and social topics, build a starting register, and draft an initial narrative.

  • Materiality mapping
  • Starting disclosure register
  • Draft stakeholder narrative
  • Four working sessions included
Supply Chain Review

Supply Chain Review

A patient look at your tier-one and selected tier-two suppliers — asking specific questions about labour conditions, environmental practices, and continuity — without exposure, just considered preparation.

  • Desk research and site visits
  • Written review with severity ranking
  • One-page board summary
  • Discussion with procurement lead
Sustainability Note

Sustainability Note

A short written response to a single ESG question — useful for finance directors and founders weighing one particular matter without committing to a longer engagement.

  • ~1,500-word written response
  • Follow-up call included
  • Tailored to your specific question
  • Practical, non-prescriptive guidance

A slower pace, on purpose

Grounded in your sector

Our work draws on direct experience with Malaysian supply chains and the expectations of European and Australian buyers — not frameworks applied without context.

Written, not verbal

Every engagement concludes with a written deliverable your team can reference, share with a board, or build upon — not a presentation that disappears after the call.

No compliance pressure

We do not sell compliance. We help you understand your position, your options, and what preparation now may allow later — so you make decisions at your own pace.

Small team, direct access

You work with the consultants doing the actual work — not account managers. Questions are answered by the people who know your file.

Sized for the mid-market

Our engagements are designed for firms without dedicated sustainability staff — manageable in scope, honest about what they achieve, and priced accordingly.

Confidential by default

Findings and working materials remain with your team. We do not publish case studies, share client names, or reference engagements externally without written agreement.

Is this the right moment to look at your ESG position?

If overseas buyers are beginning to ask questions, or if your board has started raising the topic, an initial conversation costs nothing — and may help clarify whether a formal engagement makes sense.

Things people often ask before getting in touch

Do we need to be at a certain stage before working with you?

No. The ESG Direction Engagement and the Sustainability Note are both designed for firms at the beginning of this process — where the questions are still forming. You do not need prior experience with sustainability frameworks or disclosure.

What does the ESG Direction Engagement actually produce?

At the end of twelve to fourteen weeks, you receive a materiality map identifying the environmental and social topics most relevant to your business, a starting disclosure register, a draft narrative for stakeholders, and notes from four working sessions. The documents are written to be used — not to sit in a folder.

Will this make us compliant with a specific reporting framework?

Not as such. Our engagements lay a careful foundation — particularly for firms in Malaysian supply chains facing questions from overseas buyers — but they do not produce a completed report to any specific regime. That may be a natural next step, but it is not what we are offering here.

How does the Supply Chain Review work practically?

We begin with desk research on your tier-one suppliers, then conduct selected site visits where the desk findings suggest they are warranted. The written review ranks concerns by severity and likelihood, without judgement — the aim is preparation, not exposure. Your procurement lead receives a discussion of the findings before the review is finalised.

What sort of question is suitable for a Sustainability Note?

Questions like: "Is this particular framework appropriate for a firm of our size at this stage?" or "How should we respond to this specific request from an overseas customer?" A Sustainability Note is not suitable for broad or open-ended questions — it works best when the question is specific and the answer will inform a decision.

How is our information handled?

All information shared with us is treated as confidential. We do not reference client names externally, publish case studies, or share working materials with third parties without written agreement. A non-disclosure agreement can be put in place before any substantive conversation begins, if preferred.
