All of our achievements are reflective of our great team and the result of the trust our clients have placed in us to work alongside them on their ESG Strategic journey. Most of our new business has been a result of our growing reputation as a holistic ESG advisor and referrals from existing clients. Reliable performance but also innovation of ESG services have been our focus in the last year.'
