ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. An ESG policy sets out how your business identifies and manages its impact across these three areas. It covers everything from carbon emissions and waste management to workforce diversity, ethical supply chains, and anti-corruption controls. CSR - corporate social responsibility - overlaps with much of this but tends to focus more on voluntary commitments like community engagement and charitable activity. In practice, most businesses now use the ESG framework because it maps more directly to investor and regulatory expectations.
The demand for documented ESG policies is being driven by several things at once. Private equity firms and institutional investors increasingly require portfolio companies to demonstrate ESG credentials before and after investment. Large corporates are pushing ESG requirements down through their supply chains, asking suppliers to complete questionnaires and provide evidence of documented policies. If you sell to the public sector, tender scoring criteria now routinely include social value and environmental management questions that require policy-level answers.
On the reporting side, listed UK companies already report under the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is now catching UK businesses with significant EU operations, requiring detailed disclosures on environmental and social risks.
Even if your business is not directly caught by these regulations today, having the policies in place means you are ready when a client, investor, or procurement team asks for them.

When do you need an ESG policy?
Most businesses come to us when they hit a specific trigger. These are the most common reasons our clients need ESG documentation:
How we work
We start by understanding what has prompted the need. Whether you are responding to a supplier questionnaire, preparing for investor due diligence, or building out your governance framework ahead of a tender, the context shapes the content. A policy written for B Corp certification looks different from one written for a PE-backed portfolio review.
Once we understand the requirement, we research the relevant standards and frameworks - TCFD, GRI, UN Global Compact, ISO 14001 - and write policies that align with what your audience expects to see. Every document is written in plain English, structured for easy review, and ready to use without further editing. We deliver in Word format so your team can maintain and update the documents over time.
We quote a fixed price per policy before any work starts. There are no hourly rates and no surprises. Most quotes go out within one business day and turnaround on completed policies is typically five to ten working days depending on volume.
Who we work with
Our ESG clients range from SMEs putting their first environmental policy in place to mid-market businesses building a full governance pack for investor reporting. We work across sectors including construction, professional services, manufacturing, tech, and facilities management. If your business has been asked to demonstrate its ESG position in writing, we can help - regardless of how far along you are.
We also work with businesses applying for B Corp certification, where the assessment process requires detailed evidence of policies across governance, workers, community, environment, and customers. We know what the assessment looks for and can write policies that directly address the scoring criteria.
