04 / Fractional sustainability team

Get the team you need — without hiring the team.

Your needs change. You may need an EPD project today, ESG support tomorrow and help answering customer questionnaires next month.

Our fractional model gives you access to the expertise you need when you need it.

01 / The roles

Five seats. You choose the mix.

01

Sustainability Leadership

Strategic guidance and executive-level expertise.

A senior sustainability voice in the room for board updates, customer escalations and capital decisions — sitting in your leadership meetings, not sending a report from outside.

02

Sustainability Operations

Someone actually managing the work.

The person who owns the tracker: chasing suppliers for data, keeping certification renewals on schedule, and making sure nothing goes quiet for three weeks.

03

Product Sustainability

EPDs, LCAs, product data and environmental information.

Technical capacity to run LCA scoping, manage verifier relationships and keep product environmental data accurate as SKUs and formulations change.

04

Sustainability Marketing

Turn technical sustainability information into messages customers understand.

Translation from LCA output into claims your sales team can say out loud without exposing you — plus the collateral to back it up.

05

Sales Enablement

Give sales the tools to use sustainability to win business.

Answer libraries, spec-ready product sheets, questionnaire playbooks and rep training so sustainability questions stop stalling deals.

02 / The alternative

The gap between a hire and a project.

Companies between roughly $50M and $500M face the same customer requirements as large enterprises, without the volume to justify a department. That is the gap the fractional model is built for.

A full-time hire
  • One person, one specialism
  • Six-figure fixed cost before results
  • 3–6 month search, then ramp
  • Single point of failure when they leave
A consulting project
  • Analysis, then the room empties
  • Recommendations with no owner
  • Re-scoping fee for every new question
  • Context resets at each engagement
Fractional with us
  • Five specialisms, blended to fit
  • Retained hours, adjusted quarterly
  • Live in two weeks
  • Continuity of context across years
03 / Operating rhythm

Assess, prioritize, build, operate, improve.

The first two stages are where most consulting engagements end. For us they are the setup for the three that produce the value.

  1. 1 / 5

    Assess

    We evaluate your current sustainability capabilities, data, products and customer requirements.

  2. 2 / 5

    Prioritize

    We identify the highest-value opportunities and gaps.

  3. 3 / 5

    Build

    We develop the data, documentation, programs and sales tools you need.

  4. 4 / 5

    Operate

    We become your ongoing fractional sustainability team.

  5. 5 / 5

    Improve

    We continuously monitor customer requirements, competitors, regulations and opportunities.

Sustainability work compounds or it decays. There is no stable middle where a document holds the position for you.
