“The benefit of working with ESG Pro was knowing that if they said something would get done, it would. Everything was clearly outlined, delivered on time, and completely removed the stress from my side. For a business that truly means what it says about people, business, and planet, ESG Pro were the perfect partner.”

— Nick Chenery, Founder, Ikigai

The Client

Ikigai is a UK-based social enterprise that helps organisations align business purpose with positive social impact. The company works across the public, private, and third sectors, providing consultancy, training, and partnership programmes focused on community well-being and responsible growth. Guided by the Japanese concept of ikigai, meaning ‘reason for being’-the organisation integrates purpose, sustainability, and innovation into every project.

The Challenge

Ikigai sought to demonstrate a genuine commitment to environmental and social responsibility through formal greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting. When invited to tender for a major government framework agreement requiring carbon disclosure, the team needed a report that was both compliant and meaningful. With a tight deadline and the need to meet procurement standards, Ikigai turned to ESG Pro to deliver credible, transparent reporting under pressure.

The Solution

ESG Pro collaborated closely with Ikigai to produce a full carbon report aligned with UK Government and GRI standards. The process was clearly structured, outlining milestones, validation steps, and deadlines from the outset. Ivan led the project management, ensuring clear communication and rapid turnaround. ESG Pro’s expertise enabled Ikigai to meet its tender requirements while embedding a scalable reporting framework that reflects the organisation’s wider ESG values.
