Who does GreenTransition work with?

We work with governments, businesses, infrastructure developers, investors and development organisations that need practical, evidence-based advice on complex environmental, social, climate and governance challenges.

What is included in a practical sustainability strategy?

We help organisations understand physical and transition climate risks in practical terms, identify which exposures matter most, and connect findings to resilience planning, governance and measurable next steps.

Social safeguards are approaches used to identify and manage social risks in projects and programmes. They typically include social impact assessment, stakeholder engagement, grievance mechanisms, inclusion considerations and practical controls that protect people and support responsible delivery.

Which standards and frameworks inform GreenTransition’s work?

Our advice is informed by internationally recognised practice bases such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Paris Agreement, ISSB, GRI, TCFD, TNFD, GHG Protocol, relevant ISO standards, World Bank ESF, IFC Performance Standards, ADB safeguards guidance and infrastructure sustainability frameworks.
