“The friendly support and knowledgeable advice we received from ESG Pro surpassed our expectations. They were the only consultancy who not only accepted the challenge of our tight deadline but delivered the result on time and exactly on budget.”
— Gail Francis, Director of Business Growth, Naylor Nutrition Ltd
The Client
Naylor Nutrition is a pioneering UK food and agricultural business developing sustainable plant-based ingredients from surplus cabbage and brassica crops. As part of its €34.6 million Green Fund investment from the Dutch government, the company was required to complete a comprehensive ESG report in line with GRI, SASB, and IFC frameworks to demonstrate its sustainability credentials.
The Challenge
The investment agreement imposed a strict six-month deadline for delivery of a fully audited ESG report. Without an existing CSR framework, Naylor needed to establish ESG governance, policies, and life cycle assessment methodologies from scratch. The company also had to align reporting with agricultural and manufacturing sector regulations while meeting investor expectations for transparency and accountability.
The Solution
ESG Pro embedded itself within Naylor’s operations, acting as an extension of the internal team. Through a managed service, the consultants delivered a full suite of ESG policies, conducted stakeholder materiality assessments, and managed carbon accounting and life cycle assessment requirements. Close collaboration and one-to-one guidance ensured clarity, compliance, and consistency across all reporting elements.
The Result
Within six months, Naylor Nutrition achieved its first ESG rating under the Apex-ESG methodology, earning a “Good” (B) grade. The report and associated disclosures validated the company’s sustainable business model and strengthened investor confidence.
ESG Pro continues to support Naylor’s long-term goals, including PAS 2060 carbon neutrality, supply chain auditing, and enhanced governance systems.
