Sustainability strategies that reflect your mission
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy development look beyond environmental considerations to address the social and governance aspects of your business. Our ESG strategy consultants work with you to understand your company’s ‘why’—the purpose or mission that drives your business beyond making money.
This service focuses on company culture, assessing your values and beliefs to discover what motivates you and your team. Some businesses have a clear purpose, like eliminating ocean plastics, though most have a broader mission or something they want to improve about the world alongside their core business.
Our ESG strategy consulting draws out your mission and develops strategies across ESG areas that reflect your values. We also review your charitable giving to ensure you’re supporting causes that really matter to your team.
CSR and ESG Strategy
What does our consulting include?
Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to strengthen what’s already in place, we help you get more from your ESG or CSR strategy.
You might already support charities but haven’t aligned this to a clear mission. Or maybe you have a policy in place but aren’t sure how to turn it into real impact. Wherever you are, we can help.
Our CSR and ESG services provide you with:
- A comprehensive assessment across environmental, social and governance factors
- Analysis of your company culture and values to understand what drives your business
- Custom ESG strategy with clear objectives and measurable outcomes
- Charitable giving review
- Custom roadmaps tailored to your business and industry
- Optional 1% for the Planet membership implementation
You’ll also have access to ongoing support to ensure your ESG strategy continues delivering impact and business value.
How we do it
We guide you through three stages: Assess, Commit, Improve. Each one builds on the last to create an ESG and CSR strategy that lasts.
Assess
We begin with a thorough review of your current ESG practices and company culture. This includes analysing your values, beliefs and purpose beyond profit-making. We also talk to your team to get an understanding of what matters to them.
Our goal is to understand what drives you and your team, whether that’s a clear mission like stopping ocean plastic or a broader commitment to making the world better.
Commit
We develop an ESG strategy that represents your company’s values. To do so, we create specific and measurable initiatives across environmental protection, social impact and governance improvements. We also review your charitable giving to ensure you’re supporting causes that align with your purpose.
During this stage, we work with your team to make sure that everyone’s voice is heard. This ensures that everyone feels part of the process and is ready to help put the changes into action.
Improve
We provide detailed implementation roadmaps outlining exactly how to achieve your ESG objectives. These include specific process changes, partnership recommendations and impact tracking.
We offer flexible ongoing support from quarterly reviews to comprehensive annual assessments to grow and strengthen your ESG strategy over time.

Frequently asked questions about CSR and ESG strategy consulting
What is an ESG strategy?
An ESG strategy is your business’s plan for making a positive impact on the world, covering environmental, social and governance responsibilities.
In simple terms, it’s about:
- Environment: How you reduce your impact on the planet
- Social: How you care for people: your team, community, and customers
- Governance: How you run your business responsibly and ethically
At Natural Distinction, we see ESG strategy as more than a checklist. We embed a culture of sustainability into the heart of your business.
Why are ESG and CSR strategies important, and do we need them?
ESG and CSR strategies help businesses identify their purpose beyond profit, attract top talent and build trust amongst consumers. While not legally required, ESG considerations are becoming increasingly expected by customers and staff.
How long does the process take?
CSR and ESG strategy development usually takes between 10 to 14 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
