Two-week board-ready review

A clear read on your sustainability and impact position, in two weeks.

In two weeks you get one clear document on where you stand and what to do next, written for your board to read and act on.

A clear answer while the decision is still live

A board often faces a sustainability question with a clock on it. A claim is about to go public, a target is up for approval, a transaction is in diligence, or a risk has surfaced that nobody has independently tested.

A three-month engagement is the wrong tool for that moment. This is a fixed two-week review that gives the board an independent read in time to use it.

Or a question without a clock, but still worth answering

Sometimes the question is broader. Where should purpose, impact, and sustainability sit for a company your size and in your market? How do you position your products and services so they stand out and earn a premium? What requirements, ratings, and assessments should you be preparing for, today and as trade rules, government requirements, and voluntary standards move? The same two-week format gives you a clear read on the opportunity and where to focus.

  • Where should impact and sustainability sit for a company our size and market?
  • Are we leaving money on the table, or missing a way to stand out?
  • What requirements, ratings, and assessments should we be positioning for, now and as the rules change?
  • Is our position credible, and can we back it up?
Background

Who you work with

I co-founded Edge Impact in 2008 and handed over the CEO role in early 2024, the year it was sold to RSK Group. I work from the evidence under a claim, down to the data and the assumptions behind it.

Questions

Frequently asked

What kind of question suits a two-week review?

A focused one. Whether a sustainability strategy is credible, whether a target or claim is defensible, how real a climate risk is, or whether an acquisition's sustainability story holds up under diligence.

Why two weeks?

Boards usually need a clear answer at a decision point. Two weeks is enough to review the evidence properly and short enough to be useful while the decision is still live.

What do I get at the end?

One board-ready document with practical recommendations on where to cut back, defend, or extend. It is short enough to be read and acted on, and written for directors.

Who does the work?

I do, directly. You work with me, with no account-manager layer in between.

Do you build the underlying work as well?

No. This is an independent read. Where the work needs building or rebuilding, that is delivery, and I will point you to Edge Impact as a partner.

How is it costed?

A flat fee of $12,500 for the two weeks, agreed before we start, so there is no open-ended meter running.
