If you’re here, it’s probably not because you need another think piece about climate change. You’re here because you’ve got pressure building — regulations closing in, investors asking tougher questions, internal reporting gaps, and systems running on fumes.
Pearl Lemon Consulting exists for one reason: to help you stop wasting time, money, and goodwill on poorly executed sustainability efforts that produce nothing but paperwork.
We don’t show up with soft ideas. We show up with brass-tacks execution.

Our Services
This isn’t some vague promise. These are the 8 ways we help you solve actual business problems tied directly to sustainability compliance, risk, and performance.
Carbon Accounting & Emissions Baseline Audits
You can’t control what you don’t quantify. We assess Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions using the GHG Protocol methodology. If your emissions data is buried across five departments, we find it, standardise it, and present it in usable dashboards that your CFO understands.
How it helps:
- Hit CSRD/TCFD reporting compliance
- Stop flying blind on emissions risk
- Reduce audit exposure before it costs you your next tender
ESG Risk Assessment & Materiality Mapping
We run end-to-end ESG diagnostics that separate what’s legally relevant from what’s just noise. We tailor materiality maps based on double materiality principles — so your board gets hard data, not just social talking points.
How it helps:
- Aligns sustainability with actual operational risk
- Cuts waste on irrelevant initiatives
- Prepares you for SFDR and ISSB scrutiny
Supply Chain Resilience Audits
We interrogate your Tier 1, 2, and 3 suppliers. We flag exposure to deforestation, emissions volatility, forced labor risk, and low ESG ratings — using lifecycle analysis (LCA) and supplier ESG metrics.
How it helps:
- Reduces cost volatility in your procurement cycles
- De-risks exposure under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)
- Supports ISO 14001 and SA8000 integration
Net Zero Roadmapping
We build clear transition pathways with emission reduction targets tied to operational levers — not wishful thinking. All our models are SBTi-aligned with decarbonisation inputs based on industry-specific emissions factors.
How it helps:
- Builds investor trust with hard reduction targets
- Meets regulatory milestones (EU Taxonomy, UK Net Zero Strategy)
- Enables green financing access under the ICMA Green Bond Principles
Circular Business Model Development
Linear models cost you. We map opportunities for closed-loop systems — using waste audits, cradle-to-cradle assessments, and materials recovery analysis — to cut landfill costs and increase reusability.
How it helps:
- Leads down material waste and input costs
- Supports extended producer responsibility (EPR)
- Avoids upcoming landfill taxation penalties
ESG Reporting, Audit Prep & Disclosure Alignment
We align your disclosures to frameworks like GRI, CDP, TCFD, and SASB. Our process ensures your reporting satisfies auditors, avoids greenwashing claims, and communicates measurable performance, not fluff.
How it helps:
- Avoids compliance penalties and reputational risk
- Strengthens credit ratings with ESG ratings agencies
- Positions your company for inclusion in ESG indices
Sustainability Governance Frameworks
We rework outdated governance structures, clarifying roles for board committees, compliance leads, and operational teams. We align ESG oversight with your existing risk and audit committees.
How it helps:
- Improves internal accountability
- Passes board scrutiny under the UK Corporate Governance Code
- Prevents ESG violations slipping through operational cracks
Sustainability-Linked KPI Development
We create performance indicators tied to emission intensity, waste ratios, energy usage per unit, and resource efficiency — not vague pledges. Then we connect those KPIs to staff incentives and supplier SLAs.
How it helps:
- Links ESG to business performance, not just compliance
- Increases engagement without PR nonsense
- Sets clear metrics for investor and stakeholder review

Frequently Asked Questions
We support GRI, TCFD, CDP, SASB, and CSRD. We also guide alignment to EU Taxonomy and UK SECR standards.
We use hybrid methods combining spend-based analysis with supplier-specific activity data, and where necessary, proxy emissions factors from recognised databases (e.g. DEFRA, EPA, Ecoinvent).
Yes. We conduct a CSRD-readiness assessment, build your double materiality matrix, and align disclosures to ESRS standards.
Manufacturing, FMCG, tech, financial services, construction, and logistics. We’re fluent in sector-specific compliance rules.
We create ESG dashboards linked to EBITDA impact, OPEX variance, and ROI from capex-based sustainability initiatives.
We do both — train internal leads for ownership or embed directly into execution, depending on resourcing and need.
Most run 3–9 months depending on scope, internal readiness, and urgency of compliance or investor pressure.
Let’s Get Your Sustainability Problems Off the Books
