Environmental, Social and Governance Leader – Consultant

Allora Infrastructure

At Allora, we believe infrastructure can deliver better outcomes for people and places. We partner with progressive organisations to deliver better outcomes across three core services: Infrastructure Strategy, New Delivery Models, and Delivery Model Performance. We understand that operating within the infrastructure sector means we have a significant impact, and we embrace our responsibility to drive positive change. We measure our impact as an organisation against the SDGs and embed impact-led decision-making into our operating model and governance. Our pursuit principles ensure we work on programmes that contribute positively to the SDGs, with clients who share our commitment to delivering positive change. We have embedded our commitment to positive impact into our corporate governance, and we monitor the increase in our impact as a key business performance metric. We are on track to achieve our goal of submitting for B Corp accreditation this financial year.

Royal HaskoningDHV

At Royal HaskoningDHV, we take responsibility for having a positive impact on the world and we constantly challenge ourselves and others to develop sustainable solutions to local and global issues. This is ingrained in how we collaborate with clients, partners and stakeholders as well as in our own operations – it is our purpose and strategic priority, Enhancing Society Together. Our Purpose Matrix tracks our progress in pursuit of driving more sustainable projects and forms the lens through which we assess our work. In 2024, we measured our impact on people and planet from over 2,200 projects across our portfolio. In December 2024 we were recognised for our commitment to this and were awarded the Platinum rating by EcoVadis, placing us in the top 1% of the 130,000 companies they assess for sustainability.

We have been operationally carbon neutral and are working towards net zero. Our ESG strategy focuses on key areas where we can have the most impact. Since 2019, we have tracked our alignment with the SDGs and launched a 2024 programme to deliver local and meaningful social value. In the past 18 months, we updated our corporate strategy to address major challenges in the UK&I, launched a team focused on nature-based solutions, and provided ESG advisory services across our business.
