“The friendly support and knowledgeable advice we’ve received from ESG Pro surpassed our expectations, and we remain especially impressed at how they were the only consultancy company who not only accepted the challenge of our deadline, but delivered the result on time and exactly on budget.”
— Gail Francis, Director of Business Growth, Naylor Nutrition
The Company
A major force in the UK/EU food and agricultural sector, Naylor Nutrition has developed an extraction process to sustainably produce nutritious plant-based food ingredients made from whole head cabbage, surplus cabbage leaves and other brassica crops. Construction of their first factory meant Naylor Nutrition had to demonstrate a total sustainability programme, and ESG Pro were called in to assist.
The Challenge & Objectives
A pre-requisite of a €34m investment from the Dutch government hinged upon the completion of their ESG reporting against a very tight deadline (commencing in Jan 2023 with a hard deadline of June 30th).
- Deliver an ESG report in accordance with the exacting demands of the GRI, SASB, and IFC frameworks.
- Provide total consultancy to deliver all internal policies and management approach criteria for ESG.
- Manage the associated embodied carbon and life cycle assessment (LCA) stipulations.
Steps to Success
To overcome the challenges of responding to all three pillars of ESG without a mature sustainability programme, ESG Pro implanted themselves into the corporation, acting as an extended member of the Naylor Nutrition team to conduct root and branch reviews of methodologies.
The Result & ESG Rating
On 30 June 2023, exactly six months after the project kicked off, Naylor Nutrition Limited received their first ESG rating with a “Good” score of “B” according to the Apex-ESG ratings methodology. The ESG Pro fully managed consultancy delivered the required results on time and exactly on budget.
Next Steps Together
ESG Pro is continuing their partnership with Naylor to achieve PAS2060:2014 validated carbon neutrality, conduct supply chain sustainability audits, manage life cycle assessments (LCA), and further strengthen internal governance.
