Sustainability work that creates measurable business value
We are seasoned strategy consultants working with established companies, institutional investors, and public institutions. We work with sustainability across traditional business disciplines such as strategy, commercialisation, risk & resilience, cost efficiencies, energy security, operating model, supply chain engagement & management.
We work in the intersection of sustainability and value creation
Sustainability work needs to drive business value. That’s what we help our clients achieve. These are some typical client challenges we help solve:
- How do we integrate sustainability priorities into corporate strategy and turn progress into market advantage?
- How do we reduce COGS and strengthen supply resilience through non-virgin materials and supplier engagement?
- What are the biggest physical and transition risks to our business, and how do we mitigate them?
- How do we engage with our suppliers to drive both emissions reduction and cost efficiency?
We support clients driving sustainability forward from any starting point

Novo Nordisk
ESG industry reporting benchmark
Novo Nordisk is a global healthcare leader with a longstanding commitment to sustainability. To stay ahead in a rapidly evolving ESG landscape, Novo Nordisk partnered with The Footprint Firm to strengthen the company’s ESG reporting strategy, ensuring alignment with best practices, regulatory expectations, and stakeholder needs across the pharmaceutical sector and beyond.

The project
Novo Nordisk sought to define a forward-looking strategy for ESG reporting and disclosures. The goal was to benchmark industry peers and adjacent sectors, assess alignment with leading standards and frameworks, and ultimately shape a robust reporting approach that supports transparency and trust with a wide range of stakeholders.
Our approach
We began by developing a best-practice ESG reporting framework grounded in existing standards and regulation, including a detailed benchmark of ESG disclosures from peers and selected leaders outside the pharmaceutical industry.
In the second phase, we facilitated discussions with Novo Nordisk to refine the company’s level of ESG ambition, identify material topics, and explore how to meet the information needs of diverse stakeholder groups, from patients and NGOs to rating agencies and the general public.
We also conducted a review of Novo Nordisk’s available data against the requirements of leading frameworks and supported the development of governance processes to strengthen ESG reporting going forward.
The impact
Our collaboration has helped Novo Nordisk take a strategic and structured approach to ESG reporting, grounded in industry benchmarks, stakeholder relevance, and future regulatory readiness.
The resulting framework and governance setup position Novo Nordisk to deliver transparent, consistent, and stakeholder-informed ESG disclosures in an increasingly complex reporting environment.
