Finance-led sustainability risk and reporting support
For private and PE-backed UK mid-market companies.
Grant Fides helps CFOs and finance directors understand which sustainability issues matter, respond to investor questions and build credible reporting. We combine senior advice with practical delivery support to move the work forward.
Focused on the UK mid-market
We work primarily with private and PE-backed UK companies, typically with revenues between £50m and £500m.
These businesses are often facing growing questions from investors, lenders, boards and commercial stakeholders without having the internal sustainability capacity or reporting infrastructure of a large listed organisation.
We usually work with CFOs and finance directors, alongside legal, sustainability and operational teams.
When support can make a difference
Investor questions have started
You need a clear view of which sustainability risks and opportunities matter financially, what evidence already exists and where action is required.
You need to produce your first report
You want to create credible, proportionate reporting without producing a generic sustainability narrative that is disconnected from business risk and performance.
A transaction or financing event is approaching
You need to understand how your policies, evidence, risks and reporting may be viewed by investors, lenders, buyers or advisers.
Progress is too slow
The direction is broadly understood, but limited internal capacity or specialist experience is preventing the work from moving forward.
Three ways we can help
01
Sustainability reporting foundations
Establish what matters, prioritise action and develop a credible first sustainability report.
02
Sustainability readiness for investment and transactions
Assess how the company’s sustainability position may withstand investor, lender or buyer scrutiny.
03
Ongoing sustainability risk and reporting support
Add senior advice and practical capacity to strengthen risk management, evidence and reporting over time.
Senior advice with practical delivery
Finance-led
We connect sustainability to financial materiality, risk management, governance, performance and reporting.
Senior-led
Work is delivered directly by experienced practitioners who understand finance, transactions and sustainability reporting.
Focused on progress
We do more than identify gaps. We can work alongside management or take responsibility for defined workstreams where internal capacity is limited.
Proportionate
The approach reflects the company’s size, maturity, commercial exposure and immediate priorities.
AMP: building a materiality-led foundation for credible reporting
Grant Fides supported AMP to develop its first structured approach to sustainability reporting. This included a financial materiality assessment, Scope 3 reporting support and development of the group’s first sustainability report.
Our support helped to create a clearer view of AMP’s sustainability risks and opportunities, strengthened the evidence supporting its reporting and established priorities for future improvement.
Discuss your priorities
Whether you are responding to investor questions, preparing for a transaction or trying to move existing work forward, an introductory conversation can help clarify the most useful next step.
