Advisory
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
We are seasoned management consultants with extensive experience from serving established companies, institutional investors, and public institutions on their most pressing topics within strategy, organisation and sustainability.

Polaris
Sustainability strategy & ESG reporting benchmark in private equity
Polaris is a leading Nordic private equity firm investing in mid-sized companies across the region. As ESG expectations continue to rise in the investment landscape, Polaris partnered with The Footprint Firm to take their sustainability strategy to the next level and establish a structured, forward-looking approach to ESG reporting, culminating in the publication of their first annual Polaris sustainability report.

The project
Polaris set out to define the next step in its ESG journey, both as a responsible investor and as a company. The objective was twofold: to develop a clear and actionable ESG strategy that could guide portfolio engagement, and to build a reporting framework aligned with leading international standards. We were brought in to support both aspects.
Our approach
We supported Polaris in expanding the ESG focus across two levels: the fund manager perspective and internal operations. This included identifying key sustainability priorities across funds, aligning with global best practice frameworks (SASB, GRI, TCFD, and the GHG Protocol), and strengthening integration of ESG into the investment process and active ownership model.
A key outcome was the development of the Polaris Sustainability Program - a structured framework designed to create value, build ESG capabilities, and drive sustainability performance across the portfolio.
We also supported the onboarding of portfolio companies to the program to ensure consistency, engagement, and long-term value creation across Polaris’ investments.
The impact
Our collaboration enabled Polaris to take a major step forward in formalising the fund’s sustainability approach, both in-house and across its portfolio.
With a clear strategy, an actionable ESG program, and a strong foundation for reporting, Polaris is now well-positioned for responsible ownership in the Nordic private equity space.
