For leadership teams writing a sustainability plan that needs to be real, costed and defensible. ESG basics, materiality, reporting frameworks and where to start.
Most workplace sustainability plans are a glossy PDF, a tree-planting partnership and a carbon offset purchase that the procurement team can't quite verify. The scrutiny is coming — from regulators (CSRD), from talent (who won't join), from customers (who now ask in tenders), and from your bank (who'll price it into your debt). A plan that collapses on scrutiny is worse than no plan.
This workshop is built on the major UK and EU reporting frameworks — CSRD (mandatory for large UK-trading entities from 2025), SECR (UK Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting), TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures), B Corp certification, and ISO 14001. We map them so you understand which framework applies to you, which doesn't, and where the overlap is.
The day is built around your business. Delegates do a materiality assessment on their own organisation, pick the reporting framework that fits, draft a one-page sustainability statement, and leave with a 90-day plan — not a workbook of theoretical commitments.
Built on CSRD, SECR, TCFD and B Corp frameworksEvery TESS workshop is designed backwards from the change you want to see in your team's behaviour. Here's what coaching graduates do differently on the Monday after.
What E, S and G actually mean in your business — and why most plans over-index on E and ignore G.
Where your real impact is — emissions, supply chain, governance, people — using the GRI materiality framework.
CSRD if you trade with EU at scale. SECR if you're UK-mandated. B Corp if you want a values-led brand. TCFD if you're a financial firm. Don't pick all of them.
Annual cycles, quarterly updates, what your board wants to see — and what your auditor needs to verify.
On the day — not a glossy PDF, but a defensible one-pager that survives scrutiny from customers, regulators and procurement.
Three actions, three owners, three review points — the discipline that gets you off the starting blocks.
Half-day format. A focused three-and-a-half hour block — the structure compresses to fit the time without losing the live practice.
Genuinely the first time I've left a coaching course able to do it on Monday. The live rounds with feedback made the difference. My 1:1s have completely changed shape.
Pricing depends on group size, delivery mode (live online vs in-person) and whether we tailor the curriculum to your sector. Closed cohorts start from a few hundred pounds per delegate for half-day workshops and scale from there. Book a 15-minute discovery call and we'll give you a concrete figure within 24 hours.
Sustainability is a focused half-day by design — long enough for materiality and a draft statement. A full-day version is available when you want to combine it with a Scope 3 deep-dive or board-level briefing on CSRD compliance.
We're flexible. Most cohorts run with 10–20 delegates, but we regularly deliver for smaller groups of 2–4, particularly for senior teams or specialised sectors. The live coaching rounds work better with even numbers, but we'll make any group work.
Live online is our default and works well for coaching — breakout rooms make the practice rounds work cleanly. We also deliver in-person at your site or a venue you choose, particularly when the cohort already work in the same room.
Typical lead time from a first call to delivery is 2–4 weeks. We can move faster if you need to — the limiting factor is usually your calendar, not ours.
Yes. The frameworks (GROW, TGROW, observable behaviours) stay the same; the examples, exercises and case studies are tailored to your sector, tools and your team's real work. We discuss this on the discovery call and rebrief the practitioner before delivery.
Yes. Every delegate receives a CPD-certified digital certificate on completion. The certificate references the hours of learning and the frameworks covered, so it can be added directly to a CPD record for any chartered or professional body.
We allocate a TESS coaching practitioner based on your sector. All practitioners are independently qualified coaches (ILM Level 5 or equivalent) with active corporate coaching practices. We'll send the named practitioner's bio after the discovery call.
Two ways in. Book a 30-minute discovery call below, or fill out the form and we'll reply within 24 hours with cohort options for your group.
