Research Packs

Overview

Research Packs are short, targeted research documents that turn ESG and sustainability complexity into clarity your team can act on. They sit between market intelligence and communication: long enough to be valuable, short enough to be read, and always written in plain language. Ideal for teams who need a grounded understanding before committing to strategy, messaging or investment.

Purpose

To help organisations understand what ESG expectations mean in practice — not generally, but for their product, sector, buyer or stakeholders.

What we cover

• Sector/market scan through an ESG lens

• Key standards, expectations and buyer signals (non-legal)

• Narrative risks and messaging sensitivities to avoid

• Evidence points for credibility (without overclaiming)

• Communication implications (sales, investors, comms, operations)

• Opportunities for clearer positioning or alignment

Deliverables

• 10–20 page report / briefing ready to circulate

• 1–2 page executive summary for leadership

• Suggested messaging language blocks (reusable text)

• 1 visual summary (diagram/table/slide) if needed

• Optional debrief call to walk through findings

Format Options

• PDF, Slide deck or Notion workspace

• White-label or co-branded

• Single pack or ongoing series

What it’s not

• A legal interpretation

• A carbon footprint or GHG assessment

• A compliance audit

• Greenwash-enabling messaging

• A 60-page strategy report no one reads

Who uses it

• Climate-tech founders preparing for investor or enterprise conversations

• SaaS teams adapting messaging for ESG-mature buyers

• Sustainability leads aligning internal stakeholders

• Consultants needing additional research capacity for client delivery

Outcome

A shared reference point that improves decisions, communication and internal alignment — a clarity checkpoint before action.
