The Problem

Does this sound familiar?

You're a mid-market company doing business in California, EU, UK, or NY, and the regulatory ground just moved under you. CSRD Omnibus raised thresholds but the rules are still coming. California SB 253 requires Scope 1 & 2 emissions reporting starting August 2026 for companies with $1B+ in CA revenue. The ISSB has been adopted in 36 jurisdictions representing over 50% of global GDP. Your legal team says "we need to comply" but has no framework. Your finance team has no data collection infrastructure. McKinsey-level consultants quote $50K-$250K engagements aimed at Fortune 500. Generic SaaS tools can't navigate multi-framework compliance. You need something in between: a strategy sprint that maps your obligations, builds the data infrastructure, and delivers the reporting framework — at a price that makes sense for a company your size.

Multi-framework compliance is a maze

CSRD, ISSB/IFRS S1 & S2, California SB 253/261, UK SRS, New York climate act — each has distinct standards. Operating across jurisdictions means navigating all of them. One-size-fits-all doesn't exist.

Big-four consultants quote $50K-$250K minimums

Deloitte, PwC, and KPMG price ESG engagements for Fortune 500 budgets. A $100M revenue company doing business in California or EU can't justify those rates — but still has the same regulatory exposure.

No data = no disclosure = penalties

California can penalize non-compliance with SB 253. EU member states set CSRD penalties (France: hundreds of thousands of euros). The real cost isn't the fine — it's being locked out of ESG-conscious supply chains and capital markets.

86% of large companies globally now disclose sustainability information and ESG-mandated assets are projected at $35 trillion.

The Solution

ESG Compliance Strategy Service

A 90-day ESG compliance strategy sprint that maps your exact obligations across applicable frameworks, builds the data collection infrastructure your finance team needs, drafts your first disclosure report, and transfers a monitoring playbook so your team can maintain compliance without ongoing $50K/month retainers. Flat fee, defined scope, auditable deliverables.

Get Started
  • Jurisdictional obligation mapping

    Decision tree analysis of your company against CSRD, ISSB, California SB 253/261, UK SRS, and NY climate act. Output: a written scope document stating exactly which rules apply to you, which don't, and the specific deadlines.

  • ESG data infrastructure setup

    We build the data collection pipeline — Scope 1, 2, and (where required) 3 emissions tracking, diversity metrics, governance disclosures — mapped to your ERP and HRIS. Integration-first, not spreadsheet-based.

  • First disclosure report drafted

    We draft your first CSRD/ISSB/SB 253 report against the applicable framework. Audit-ready, with documented methodology and sources. Reviewed by your external assurance provider before submission.

  • Regulatory monitoring system

    Quarterly briefings on CSRD Omnibus updates, ISSB amendments, state-level changes. Your team knows about deadline shifts and scope changes before they hit compliance calendars.

  • Internal team training

    Two training sessions for your finance, legal, sustainability, and IR teams on the framework, data requirements, and ongoing governance. Your team owns compliance after the engagement ends.

Our Process

How it works

1

Free ESG Audit (60 min)

We review your revenue, geographic footprint, and business activities against the CSRD scope decision tree, California SB 253/261 thresholds, ISSB adoption map, and other jurisdictional triggers. Output: a written scope report telling you which rules apply and what the deadlines are.

2

Framework Selection & Roadmap (Weeks 1-2)

For companies with multiple obligations, we select the primary framework and map how to satisfy secondary requirements through the same reporting infrastructure. Prevents duplicate work.

3

Data Infrastructure Build (Weeks 3-8)

Emissions tracking setup (Scope 1, 2, 3 where applicable), diversity and governance data pipelines, supply chain data collection if CSRD-in-scope. Integrated with your ERP, HRIS, and procurement systems.

4

First Report Drafted & Reviewed (Weeks 9-12)

Full disclosure report drafted per the applicable framework, reviewed internally, then submitted to your external assurance provider for limited assurance sign-off.

5

Handoff + Quarterly Monitoring (Ongoing tier)

Internal team trained, playbook documented, monitoring system live. Optional quarterly retainer keeps your team current on regulatory changes without rebuilding the engagement each year.

Transparent Pricing

Simple, clear pricing

If we identify during the free audit that you're NOT currently in scope of any mandatory framework, we'll tell you directly and not push an engagement. We've told about 25% of audit-call companies that voluntary reporting is more appropriate for their stage — and saved them ~$25K in unnecessary compliance work.

Frequently asked questions

Are you lawyers or accountants?
No — we're ESG strategy consultants who coordinate with your existing legal counsel and your external assurance provider (typically Big 4 or regional audit firm). We do the strategy, data, and reporting framework work that lawyers don't do and that consultants charge $50K-$250K for. For limited assurance or reasonable assurance sign-off, you still use a licensed audit firm.
What if I'm not sure whether I'm in scope?
That's what the free audit is for. We run your revenue, geography, and business activity against the scope decision trees for every major framework (CSRD, SB 253/261, ISSB, UK SRS) and give you a written determination. About 25% of the companies we audit learn they're not in mandatory scope — we tell them honestly and don't push an engagement.
Which frameworks do you work with?
CSRD (EU), ESRS, ISSB/IFRS S1 & S2 (36 jurisdictions), California SB 253 (emissions) and SB 261 (climate risk), UK Sustainability Reporting Standards, New York Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act, GRI, SASB, CDP, TCFD. If your framework isn't in that list, we'll tell you upfront.
How do you handle Scope 3 emissions?
Scope 3 is mandatory under CSRD and increasingly under California SB 253. We map your value chain, identify data sources (supplier surveys, industry averages, spend-based calculation), and build a defensible methodology. We don't pretend Scope 3 can be 'solved' in 90 days — we set up the baseline and a 12-month improvement plan.
What size companies do you work with?
Sweet spot: $50M-$2B revenue companies doing business in EU, UK, California, or NY. Below $50M you're typically not in mandatory scope and should do voluntary reporting at lower cost. Above $2B you've likely got in-house sustainability teams and need something different from us.
What's the realistic timeline to first report?
90 days from kickoff to drafted report. Add 4-6 weeks for external assurance review. For CSRD Wave 2 filers, that means starting no later than Q2 to hit 2027 filing deadlines. California SB 253 companies need to be starting data collection now for August 2026 filings.
How is this different from ESG software (Workiva, Pulsora, Persefoni)?
Software is the tool, we're the strategy and setup. Our clients typically implement one of those tools as part of the engagement — we pick the right one for your framework profile and get it configured. Software companies sell you the tool; we set it up, define what goes into it, and hand off operations.
