A strategic approach to sustainability, energy and waste

Sustainable Advantage supports companies and Private Equity firms to embed sustainability across the entire investment lifecycle, from ESG due diligence on acquisition, through value creation during ownership, to readiness at exit.

We also work directly with private and listed businesses of all sizes, across all sectors and geographies, to develop structured sustainability programmes, define clear strategies, and assess performance through a broad range of services, including: Annual Sustainability Reviews, Double Materiality Assessments, Net Zero modelling, decarbonisation strategy development, environmental management, climate risk analysis, value chain mapping and social value assessments.

In addition, we deliver end-to-end support for both regulatory and voluntary sustainability reporting, including TCFD, ESOS, SECR, ISSB, CSRD for companies, and SFDR, PRI, EU Taxonomy for investors, using robust, digital, and audit-ready processes.

The energy markets are facing pressures not seen before. Our expert teams are able to advise on timing as well as running extensive energy renewal tender processes. Post procurement, we are validating invoices to ensure our clients only pay for the energy they use. Our software platforms analyse usage patterns and highlight areas for further investigation and improvement. Technical specialists are available to conduct site surveys, train staff and recommend CapEx projects to reduce consumption.

Waste has certainly moved up the strategic agenda as companies seek to increase recycling, divert waste from landfill and reduce single use plastics. Many companies struggle with reporting on their waste activities as they have multiple waste streams collected by multiple suppliers across multiple locations. Sustainable Advantage takes on the role of a waste management company whilst liaising with the various suppliers on your behalf.

Sustainable Advantage’s utilities team manage the upgrade, removal, diversion, installation and commissioning of all types of utilities for many of the largest prime contractors in the UK. Our specialist teams can handle all aspects of power, water, gas and communications from initial site review and bid support through site delivery to metering and energisation.

Building Service Managers and Project Managers can rely on a dedicated engineer to manage for both best value and sustainability. We deliver zero generator through the use of on time temporary building supplies and will work to reduce contestable costs and secure asset valuations.

Our Private Equity clients seek to incorporate sustainability in their investment decision-making processes and create shareholder value during the investment lifecycle. We support them to better understand sustainability performance during origination, due diligence and in ownership so they can invest in ambitious companies led by dynamic teams and focus on responsible investing.

We support investee businesses during ownership to embed sustainability into strategic decision-making, operational practices, and reporting—considering all stakeholders, including employees, clients, suppliers, local communities, and the natural environment. Our approach is tailored to each company’s individual sustainability journey.

Our ambition: to empower investors and portfolio companies to identify material sustainability topics and integrate them into their core strategy and decision-making, enabling a successful transition to business models that are not only value-creating, but sustainable by design.
