FAQ
Everyone has questions, maybe we have the answers
We're an investor looking to get our portfolio 'ESG / sustainability-ready', can you help?
Yes, we’ve worked with many small to mid-cap portfolio companies to help build in future resilience, strategic sustainability direction, impact and value.
Having worked directly in PE-backed business, SMEs and with mid-market companies at all stages of the investment cycle, we’re a strong partner.
We're positioning the company for outside investment or sale, can you help?
Yes, we’ll help ensure the company’s ESG strategy, credentials and messaging are robust and authentic and that the value created is measureable.
With decades of experience in corporate sustainability, ESG and strategy, with over 300 EHS / ESG due diligence transactions completed, and time spent in both plc and private-equity backed companies during the buying and selling process, we’re a credible and effective partner.
Can you help us reposition our sustainability / ESG strategy?
Absolutely. From simple beginnings through to whole-scale company strategy we support your teams through design, development, delivery and integration of impactful and innovative programmes. Contact us for a free discovery call.
Can you help us with a specific ESG or sustainability area?
ESG and sustainability matters now include a broad range of related environmental, social, governance, regulatory, risk, reporting, operational and financial areas.
Most likely we can help, but if it’s not in our area of expertise, we’ll say so, or bring along a partner who is.
Can you help us with getting suppliers aligned to our ESG / sustainability approach?
We understand and have been there, working directly in the supply chain to large customers and multiple channel retailers. Our first-hand experience of this means we’re able to bring our integration and capacity building skills to help, where and when you need it most.
Will a sustainability / ESG expert be used on our project?
Always. You’re hiring deep expertise and three decades of experience. Each project is designed, developed and completed by the founder of Pitchstone, Matt Farnsworth. You can read more here.
How long will the work take?
This naturally depends on the scope and your own expectations. We always endeavour to fit in with and be responsive to your needs. However, where it’s simply not possible, we’ll be upfront with you and advise on what can be achieved in the timeframe.
Do you work internationally?
Yes, although please contact us to discuss as some services may not be possible due to country tax, insurance, regulatory or registration constraints.
Delivery of our outputs and materials are in English, unless otherwise agreed.
What does your pricing include?
Our pricing is disclosed upfront within each client proposal and is clearly broken down into professional fees, expenses and relevant taxes. Further budgetary detail is provided for more complex, milestone specific and longer term programmes of work.
