Sustainability and ESG Compliance
Investors, clients and regulators increasingly ask Kenyan businesses for evidence on environmental, social and governance performance. We help you build that evidence base — starting from where you are, not where a textbook says you should be.
We begin with a baseline: what you already do, what your stakeholders expect, and where the real gaps sit. For many SMEs this is the first time anyone has written it down — and the exercise alone often surfaces easy wins.
From there we develop the policies, metrics and collection routines your organisation can actually maintain. Environmental data, labour practices, governance records: we set up simple systems so reporting becomes routine rather than a yearly scramble.
Where you face a specific requirement — a client questionnaire, a tender, a regulator, a lender — we prepare the response with you and make sure the underlying evidence is real.

Questions about this service
We are a small company — is ESG relevant to us?
Yes, if your customers, lenders or regulators ask about it. Kenyan SMEs in supply chains of larger companies are increasingly asked for ESG evidence, and a proportionate baseline is achievable without a big team.
Do you certify us to a standard?
No. We prepare you to meet recognised frameworks such as GRI and the SDGs, and guidance such as ISO 26000. Certification, where needed, is done by accredited bodies — we help you get ready for them.
How long does a baseline assessment take?
Typically four to eight weeks depending on the size of the organisation and the data available.
