“The team at ESG Pro made the whole process work beautifully. There was no complex software or time-consuming meetings – everything was structured so we could focus on our core business. The support was always there when we needed it, and the results speak for themselves.”
— Joe Gallagher, Board Member, Advanced UK
The Client
Advanced UK, a Xerox Business Solutions Company, has been a leader in digital transformation and office technology since 1991. Serving over a thousand clients including the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, Swissport, CBRE and Thrifty, the company is recognised for delivering innovative business solutions that enhance productivity and sustainability across the UK.

The Challenge
With no formal sustainability or carbon emissions programme in place, Advanced UK sought to produce a credible ESG report aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework. The project required full compliance with PPN 06/21 and SECR regulations while demonstrating measurable progress within a nine-month timeframe. The goal was to create a meaningful, evidence-based sustainability report that would strengthen client trust and competitive standing.
The Solution
ESG Pro developed a structured project plan integrating both internal and external stakeholders. Through materiality assessments, stakeholder mapping, and guided training sessions, the process ensured that every element of reporting was grounded in verifiable data. Regular one-to-one support helped Advanced UK navigate the GRI framework efficiently, while expert design and communication support transformed technical information into a compelling sustainability narrative.
The Result
Within nine months, Advanced UK achieved its first formal ESG rating with an impressive BBB score, on time and within budget. This milestone made the company the only non-publicly owned UK business in its sector to hold an ESG rating.
The project also laid the foundation for verified carbon neutrality in 2024 and ongoing initiatives in supply chain auditing, community engagement, and procurement optimisation.
