Having run a franchise business for 12 years, I understand the nuances and challenges of running an SME and the importance of ensuring your business complies in full with best industry practise and relevant regulatory standards. Prior to running my own business, I managed product promotion campaigns from concept to delivery for FMCG brands and therefore, aware of the challenges of working with a diverse global supply chain to ensure policies and processes are aligned with your business aims.The experience and knowledge acquired over the past 30 years by working and collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams across a variety of industries enables me to support SMEs looking to start their ESG journey.Our service and methodology is designed to help you and your company with ESG related matters in 2 ways: 1. Conducting a benchmarking assessment on the ESG stance and carbon footprint of your own business which helps consider relative strengths, opportunities and potential actions for the future. Ultimately it is undoubtedly useful to demonstrate this to existing and potential clients.2. Helping assess, manage and monitor the ESG and carbon footprint status of your supply chain; this can otherwise be an arduous task and can use internal resource which would be better invested on developing your business. It also ensures an independent review which can probe areas which may not be as simple with existing commercial relationships. To assist both of these, we offer participant organisations access to an ever growing selection of Tool Kits and useful guides to help embed ESG into a business ensuring compliance with the needs of customers and other stakeholders.
