Who we serve

Retail & consumer packaged goods

With their size, scale, and global recognition, retail and CPG companies have an outsized role to play in the energy and nature transition. However, these organizations face unique challenges, from operationalizing initiatives across multi-tier supply chains to complying with emerging regulations.

Our team blends deep sustainability acumen with strategy, policy, and financial expertise, enabling retail companies to navigate macro-level uncertainties and generate business value from the global transition to a sustainable future.

Food & beverage

Secure long-term business continuity amid planetary change.

Extreme weather and planetary changes can disproportionately impact food and beverage companies due to their reliance on natural capital, energy, and agricultural supply chains. Left unchecked, these risks can represent existential threats to business viability.

Our team helps food and beverage companies design and implement mitigation and adaptation strategies, including Scope 3 emissions reductions, commercial energy security pathways, ecosystem and watershed restoration, regenerative agriculture, capital models, and more. We partner with you to quantify the cost of high-impact initiatives, gain cross-departmental buy-in, and identify appropriate financing pathways to maximize impact.

Consumer goods

Deliver business value from shifting regulatory, environmental, and consumer trends.

Consumer goods companies rely on healthy ecosystems for key commodities. At the same time, they must navigate shifting consumer preferences, regulatory trends – such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation in the United States and European Union – and accelerated technological change.

Our team uses spatial finance solutions to help consumer goods companies mitigate environmental and macro-level risks and harness opportunities across supply chains and operations. We can transform your product and packaging strategy, determine how to pay for your sustainability commitments, and work with you to build competitive advantage from compliance-driven mandates, planetary change, changing purchasing behaviors, and more.

Apparel & textiles

Unlock circular business models and market growth.

Fueled by rising consumer awareness and backlash over fast fashion, apparel and textile brands are under increasing pressure to reduce the environmental and social impacts of their products. However, shifting to more sustainable, circular business models often requires new infrastructure, systems, and ways of operating.

We conduct commodity-level analysis – including risks, opportunities, investment magnitude, and environmental and social benefits – to quantify the ROI of new business models. Our expertise considers materials innovation, design, and reuse to help apparel brands unlock new markets, customers, and supply chains.
