Let’s not waste time. If you’re reading this, you already know what ESG pressure feels like. Your board is asking questions you can’t answer. Compliance is tightening around your neck. Stakeholders want data, not promises. You’re being pushed to hit targets that were written by someone who’s never seen a budget sheet.
We help companies fix that.
Pearl Lemon Consulting has worked with supply chain managers, construction developers, investment funds, and manufacturing leads across London who all had the same problem: big targets, unclear strategy, and operations that were bleeding efficiency and carbon from every angle.
Schedule your consultation. No gimmicks. Just the first step in solving your compliance and cost issues.
Our Sustainability Consulting Services
We work with companies that can’t afford guesswork. From carbon accounting to ESG due diligence, we help businesses across sectors fix sustainability issues that are costing them time, money, and reputation. Every service is built to solve a real operational or compliance problem — no fluff, no wasted hours.
Carbon Footprint Assessment (Scopes 1, 2, 3)
We conduct full-spectrum greenhouse gas inventories using the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064. This isn’t a spreadsheet or a guess. We measure actual energy use, fugitive emissions, indirect emissions from purchased goods, capital equipment, business travel, waste, water, and even downstream distribution.
Why it matters: You need accurate emissions data to meet SBTi validation and CSRD compliance. Vague estimates won’t hold up under auditor review.
How this helps:
- Identify emissions hotspots in your operation and supply chain
- Reduce risk exposure under regulatory and financial reporting.
- Get investor-grade reports ready for submission.
Net Zero Planning and Implementation
We don’t just slap “net zero” on your marketing. We run lifecycle assessments (LCAs), marginal abatement cost curves (MACCs), and model science-based targets with sector-specific pathways.
Why it matters: Without a clear reduction pathway, your “net zero” claim is an open door to greenwashing accusations.
You’ll get:
- Year-on-year carbon budget with defined reduction strategies
- Feasibility models for carbon offsetting vs. internal mitigation
- Vendor and operations alignment strategy
Supply Chain ESG Audits
We run end-to-end supplier audits across Tier 1–3 vendors. That means cross-referencing your procurement data against ESG risk benchmarks, waste streams, carbon intensity, and human rights flags.
This is for you if:
- You’ve had investor scrutiny over supplier ethics
- You’ve had issues with BREEAM or LEED compliance.
- You’re prepping for the non-financial reporting directive (NFRD) alignment.
How we help:
- Risk classification by material category
- Supplier codes of conduct and remediation pathways
- Audit-ready reports for stakeholder review
Building Performance and Environmental Compliance
Our team handles operational energy modeling, Part L compliance, SAP calculations, and BREEAM support. Whether it’s a new development or retrofit, we help you meet planning authority sustainability requirements and reduce long-term energy cost exposure.
What you get:
- Compliance with GLA energy statements and London Plan policies
- Material impact assessments
- Whole Life Carbon (WLC) and TM54 reporting
Sustainability Reporting (GRI, TCFD, CDP)
We prepare investor-grade ESG reports aligned to GRI, TCFD, CDP, and SFDR. Our approach focuses on audit trails, materiality matrices, stakeholder mapping, and legal defensibility.
Why it matters: This is what institutional investors, banks, and watchdog groups are demanding.
What you’ll get:
- Reports suitable for IPO, M&A, and regulatory filing
- Benchmarking against peers in your sector
- Alignment with EU Taxonomy and CSRD
Circular Economy Strategy
We assess resource flows using MFA (material flow analysis) and identify waste-to-value conversion strategies. If your waste management costs are rising, this is your next move.
We provide:
- End-of-life product strategy
- Reverse logistics planning
- Closed-loop systems integration
Why this solves a problem: Waste is often the most overlooked cost center, both financially and reputationally.
ESG Due Diligence for Investors and M&A
Institutional risk managers and private equity firms call us when they need ESG risks identified before an acquisition. We assess liabilities tied to environmental compliance, emissions intensity, and social governance exposures.
You get:
- Red flag reports by region, operation, and policy
- Regulatory exposure maps
- Integration strategies post-acquisition
Secondary keywords: ESG due diligence, sustainable investing in London, ESG risk audit
Circular Economy Strategy
We create ESG governance frameworks for internal teams. From roles/responsibilities to KPI-setting to board education, we ensure everyone speaks the same language.
What this fixes:
- Lack of accountability
- Compliance breakdowns
- Misalignment between operations and executive decision-making
What’s included:
- ESG role matrices
- Reporting lines and escalation protocols
- Staff workshops and continuous learning plans
