Environmental, Social &
Governance (ESG) Consulting & Advisory

Partner with Acumentis for expert ESG consulting services. Tailored ESG strategies, corporate sustainability advisory, and practical solutions for your business.

ESG Strategy & Advisory Services

Smart businesses lead with ESG to stay ahead. But starting the journey is challenging and we know many boards find it hard to turn goals into reality. Acumentis acts as your outsourced function to bridge that gap. Our corporate ESG consulting services streamline the entire process, so you can focus on strong foundations and long-term success.

What are ESG Advisory Services?

Our ESG consulting services help you understand and improve your performance across environmental, social, and governance. Here’s how our guidance moves your business from basic awareness to meaningful action.

  • Strengthening governance frameworks
  • Clarifying board accountability
  • Embedding ethical oversight
  • Developing social impact strategies
  • Supporting Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs)
  • Aligning culture with stakeholder expectations

Our sustainability advisory team acts as a fully embedded department, managing everything from strategy to reporting without the added overhead.

Social Strategy & Impact Advisory

Strong ESG performance starts with how you treat people — employees, communities, suppliers and Traditional Custodians.

We support organisations to design credible, measurable social strategies that move beyond statements of intent.

Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) Development

We assist organisations in:

  • Developing Reflect, Innovate or Stretch RAPs
  • Designing culturally respectful engagement processes
  • Embedding reconciliation commitments into procurement and employment
  • Aligning RAP objectives with business operations
  • Establishing governance mechanisms for RAP accountability

Workforce & Stakeholder Strategy

We help you understand and respond to evolving expectations across:

  • Diversity, equity and inclusion
  • Workforce wellbeing
  • Ethical supply chains
  • Community engagement
  • Human rights risk

Our approach ensures social commitments are measurable and operationally integrated.

Double-Materiality & Stakeholder Engagement

We facilitate structured engagement processes to identify:

  • Issues that matter most to stakeholders
  • Risks and opportunities affecting enterprise value
  • Areas requiring strategic investment

This creates defensible prioritisation and strengthens credibility with investors and regulators

Governance & Board Advisory

Effective ESG governance reduces liability risk and strengthens market confidence.

We help boards and executive teams design governance structures that support oversight and accountability.

Governance Framework Design

We support organisations in:

  • Defining ESG roles and responsibilities
  • Establishing board-level oversight structures
  • Integrating ESG into risk registers
  • Designing reporting lines and escalation pathways
  • Embedding ESG into executive performance metrics

Policy & Control Development

We assist with the development and refinement of:

  • ESG and sustainability policies
  • Codes of conduct
  • Ethical procurement policies
  • Modern slavery frameworks
  • Anti-corruption and whistleblower policies

Board Education & Capability Building

Directors are increasingly accountable for ESG performance.

We provide structured education sessions covering:

  • ESG fiduciary duties
  • Regulatory developments
  • Risk oversight expectations
  • Governance integration best practice

Strategy Integration & Managed ESG Function

Many organisations lack the internal capacity to manage ESG holistically.

Acumentis can act as a fractional or outsourced ESG function, providing:

  • Ongoing governance support
  • Policy management
  • Reporting coordination
  • Executive advisory
  • Strategic roadmap oversight

Who This Service Is For

Our ESG business solutions are designed for:

  • Boards and executive teams
  • Growing mid-market organisations
  • Property and infrastructure groups
  • Agricultural enterprises
    Government and public-sector bodies

Particularly those needing structured governance and social impact capability.

The Human Side of ESG

ESG is really about people. We help you understand what your staff and clients expect from you. Our ESG business solutions look at your operations from two distinct angles:

  • Inside-Out: We help you see how your internal culture and daily habits affect the world around you.
  • Outside-In: We help you prepare for how social shifts and community expectations will impact your brand.

Frequently Asked Questions

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It is a framework used to assess how a company manages risks and opportunities related to these three areas. It helps investors and other stakeholders understand the sustainability and ethical impact of a business.

It affects your ability to attract investment and talent. It helps you manage risks like climate change or supply chain issues. It also makes you more competitive in a market that values transparency.

Double-materiality is the idea that you should report on two things. First, how your business affects the environment and society. Second, how environmental and social issues affect your business's financial health. It gives a complete picture of your sustainability risk.

This depends on your size and sector. Common frameworks include the GRI for general impact and the TCFD for climate risks. Our sustainability advisory services help you identify which standards are required for your specific goals.

Absolutely. Even if you don't have to report to the government yet, your clients likely do. They'll expect you to have your foundations in place so they can complete their own reports. Plus, our ESG business solutions just make your business more competitive.

Physical risks are direct threats like flood damage to a building. Social risks are about people. This might include losing staff because your company culture doesn't match their values. Both can impact your bottom line.

Your strategy should grow with your business. We recommend a refresh every year or two. This helps you stay ahead of new rules and changing market trends.
