A Nairobi manufacturer received its first ESG questionnaire from a multinational customer and had no documentation to answer it. Over six weeks we assessed energy, waste, labour practices and governance records, then wrote the baseline the questionnaire assumed they had.
The output was a 22-page report: current practice, gaps ranked by the customer's priorities, and a twelve-month improvement plan the company's own operations manager could run.
The questionnaire went back answered — with evidence, not aspirations.
Outcomes
- 22-page ESG baseline report delivered in six weeks
- Customer ESG questionnaire completed and accepted
- Twelve-month improvement plan owned internally
