60 Page ESG Strategy? Or a Pointed Plan – which would you pick?

We specialise in helping small and mid-sized businesses cut through the ESG noise. Most of the SMEs we work with already care about sustainability , but they’re often stuck. Stuck between growing reporting expectations, limited internal bandwidth, and a sea of vague advice that doesn’t fit their business model.

They don’t need a 60-page ESG strategy full of buzzwords. They need something real , something that works for the size of their team, the way they operate, and the clients they serve.

What We Do (And Why It Works) We bring leadership teams together for one focused ESG session , with the right prep and structure to get results quickly and clearly. We help teams: 

• Get clear on what ESG means in their context
• Identify the issues that matter most to their staff, clients, and operations
• Build a practical plan with clear actions, owners, and timelines
• Prepare for tenders or reporting under frameworks like the VSME (the EU’s voluntary standard for SMEs) , without getting stuck in compliance fog

We also baseline carbon emissions using ISO 14064 and GHG Protocol, so clients have hard data to back up their plans and spot quick wins. There’s no fluff. No endless strategy loops. Just a clear ESG approach teams can use straight away.

What Businesses Walk Away With 

• A focused ESG roadmap that aligns with how the business actually runs
• Named owners for each action, so nothing gets lost in theory
• A clear view of where they stand on VSME readiness , and what’s left to do
• Tools and templates they can use internally, without needing ongoing external support

And because it’s all built around their real-world context , not a generic template , they can use it in tenders, internal messaging, or conversations with clients and boards.

Why This Matters Procurement teams are asking ESG questions. Staff want clarity on values and direction. And regulators are making ESG reporting more relevant to smaller companies. You don’t need to become a sustainability expert. But you do need a plan that’s credible, defensible, and right-sized. That’s what we deliver , practically, quickly, and with minimal disruption to your team.

And the Cost?

Most of our SME clients cover 80% of the project through the Enterprise Ireland Green Start grant, businesses walk away with: 

• A complete ESG strategy
• A carbon footprint baseline
• A VSME gap analysis and roadmap
• Clear outputs they can actually use

It’s low-cost, low-hassle, and high-value , and it sets the business up for growth, credibility, and resilience.
