CSRD Compliance vs Sustainability Strategy

Can Your Consultancy Survive the Regulatory Squeeze?

CSRD is transforming the market for sustainability services as companies from all industries scramble to meet its requirements. While this may seem like a golden opportunity for sustainability strategy and comms consultancies, the reality is more complex.

Only those who grasp this profound shift will be positioned to thrive — or even survive.

Book an Exec Briefing Session for an unfiltered look at how CSRD and other mandatory disclosures are disrupting and reshaping the strategy consulting landscape — and why traditional sales approaches may not hold up against emerging market realities.

In this session, we’re going beyond the headlines to share insights you won’t get anywhere else.

What you can expect...

1
CSRD is undermining the perceived value of strategy consulting

A wide range of ‘first-time buyers’ need sustainability guidance. But this new focus on compliance is driving a mindset shift that favours quick fixes to keep the regulators happy, versus deep thinking that supports the long-term success of the business.

2
New competitors are making it harder to win business
Larger accounting and legal firms are leveraging double materiality assessments as loss leaders, with their sights set on bigger future contracts. At the same time, low-cost ESG platforms are starting to offer box-ticking solutions which lead companies to question whether they really need anything more.
3
New decision makers complicate the pitching process
Finance and risk teams typically have oversight of mandatory disclosure projects and budgets — and that includes CSRD. These new buyers speak a different language — and have different incentives — to those who have historically sourced sustainability services. This demands new ways of selling.

The message is clear

Without adapting now, these forces could undermine your firm’s growth and even pose existential risks. Now is the moment to act.
