Programs, standards and projects that deliver, and can prove it
We help organizations, standards bodies, communities, cooperatives, project developers and social enterprises co-design work that strengthens quality and assurance, and demonstrates impact to funders, buyers and investors.
We bring local knowledge in as expertise, not just data, so solutions fit the context and strengthen whole systems.
1- Understand your context, your evidence and your gaps
01 Standards Benchmarking
Benchmark a standard, certification or assurance scheme against peers and regulatory expectations, and position it as a credible tool for buyers' due diligence.
02 NbS Project Risk Review
Assess a nature-based solutions project or investment against standards such as FSC, Verra/CCB, ART TREES, Equitable Earth and Rainforest Alliance, with practical mitigation steps.
03 Context & Risk Analysis
Map the policy, organizational, socio-economic and environmental landscape to pinpoint vulnerabilities and where to focus for long-term impact.
04 Buyer Requirements Readiness
Help cooperatives, suppliers and project developers prepare the traceability, stakeholder engagement and grievance systems buyers now expect under EU rules.
05 Impact & Operations Review
Review evaluation evidence or internal workflows to find what is underperforming and what to do about it.
2- Build: Design and strengthen work that lasts
01 Community & Stakeholder Engagement
Design and run participatory processes, including for Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), benefit sharing and shared decision-making.
02 Project Design
Develop a full project design, from theory of change to social and environmental impact assessment, using open standards and participatory methods.
03 Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning
Create a practical MEL framework with data methods, templates, pilot rollout and staff training, for programs, standards or internal operations.
04 Stakeholder Networks & Grievance Mechanisms
Build the partnerships and trusted grievance channels that let workers and communities take part safely and meaningfully.
Sideways Integrity
Building collaborative systems that bring the people closest to the work into how
programs are designed, risks are addressed and results are measured.
As companies face new due diligence rules, these same systems position you as a credible, trusted partner to the buyers and funders you work with.
