Operationalisation turns sustainability strategies into practical, everyday actions that embed ESG principles across your organisation. It bridges the gap between high-level plans and on-the-ground implementation, driving compliance, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
By developing clear roadmaps, embedding governance and accountability, integrating ESG into daily operations, and tracking performance across key aspects, organisations can move from ambition to measurable outcomes. This approach not only ensures efficiency and alignment but also builds transparency, reduces risk, and strengthens resilience, all while creating long-term value and competitive advantage.

Operationalisation with Real-World Success
Case Study: Social Licence to Operate Guidelines for a Renewable Energy Developer
We partnered with a renewable energy developer to prepare Social Licence to Operate Guidelines that support their growing portfolio.
The guidelines provide a clear, consistent framework for engaging with communities, Traditional Owners, and stakeholders across both new and existing developments, as well as during the acquisition of new assets.
By embedding a structured approach to consultation, benefit-sharing, and transparency, the company is now better positioned to maintain trust, reduce project risk, and ensure alignment across its operations.
Key Outcomes:
- Established a consistent, repeatable approach to stakeholder and community engagement.
- Strengthened social licence, reducing approval and reputational risks.
