Sustainability and impact, built around how businesses actually work

ENSO works with SMEs to turn sustainability into a competitive advantage. We bring structure, clarity and credibility to sustainability activity, combining technology and expert-led support to help teams take action and communicate progress with confidence.

How we work with businesses

ENSO is built around a clear and structured approach to sustainability, reflected in both our platform and how we work with businesses. The same delivery model underpins the ENSO platform, guiding teams through assessment, prioritisation, action, reporting and ongoing improvement.

Many businesses use the ENSO platform independently, following this structure to organise sustainability activity, track progress and produce credible outputs at their own pace. The platform is designed to provide clarity and momentum without requiring external support.

Where additional support adds value, ENSO works alongside teams to accelerate progress, gather and structure information, and reduce the internal burden on already busy roles. In these cases, we apply the same model in a more hands-on way, helping businesses move quickly and confidently when timelines or requirements are tight.

Sustainability at ENSO

ENSO uses its own platform to manage sustainability internally. Our commitments, actions and progress are structured, tracked and reviewed using the same system and approach that our clients use, ensuring consistency between how we work and what we deliver.

Sustainability at ENSO is treated as an ongoing operational responsibility rather than a one-off exercise. Responsibilities are clearly defined, actions are monitored over time and progress is reviewed to ensure commitments translate into measurable and credible outcomes.

ENSO is a certified B Corp, reflecting our commitment to responsible and transparent business practices. We view this as a baseline and continue to use our own tools and frameworks to strengthen governance, accountability and sustainability performance across the business.

Our public sustainability page is generated through the ENSO platform and demonstrates how this approach works in practice. It brings together commitments, actions and progress in a clear, structured format that can be shared confidently with customers, partners and stakeholders. Take a look at our commitments in detail below.

ENSO is intentionally structured as a focused delivery team. Clients work directly with experienced sustainability practitioners who understand both ESG frameworks and the operational realities of running an SME, where sustainability often sits alongside an existing role.

Focused sustainability solutions for SME sustainability teams

ENSO provides structured sustainability solutions for SMEs, combining platform capability and expert support to help teams establish foundations, manage activity and respond to business and reporting requirements with confidence.

In an SME, sustainability is rarely someone’s full-time job

In most SMEs, sustainability sits alongside an existing role, whether in HR, operations, marketing, finance or elsewhere in the business. Expectations are increasing, but time, internal expertise and clarity are often limited. ENSO solutions are designed to provide structure and credible outputs without adding unnecessary complexity.

The ENSO sustainability platform

The ENSO platform provides SMEs with a single place to manage sustainability activity. It helps teams define priorities, coordinate actions across the business and communicate progress with confidence.
Key capabilities

  • Build a structured sustainability strategy aligned to business priorities
  • Manage actions, ownership and progress across teams
  • Communicate sustainability activity through a dedicated webpage
  • Produce tailored reports for customers, tenders and stakeholders

The platform can be used independently and provides a practical foundation for managing sustainability over time.

Expert-led support, when additional structure is needed

Some SMEs need support beyond the platform, particularly when deadlines are tight or external expectations increase. The ENSO ESG Wheel brings together six practical elements that help teams structure their sustainability work, prioritise next steps and communicate progress clearly.

This framework underpins how we work with SMEs, ensuring every engagement follows a clear, repeatable process that delivers structure, focus and credible sustainability outputs.

ENSO’s expert-led solutions apply this framework to help teams prioritise action, align stakeholders and produce credible sustainability outputs without unnecessary complexity.

Sustainability Starter Plan

A structured programme that gives SMEs a clear, credible and practical sustainability foundation. Through an audit of existing activity, priority setting and guided use of the ENSO platform, your business will define a focused strategy, assign responsibilities and be ready to communicate progress with confidence.

What you will achieve

  • A complete sustainability strategy aligned to your business goals
  • A review of what you are already doing well, mapped against key sustainability areas
  • Clear next priorities, commitments and assigned responsibilities
  • A monitoring and governance plan to keep sustainability work on track
  • A public-facing sustainability webpage ready to share with customers and stakeholders
  • Confidence responding to tenders, information requests and contract requirements

How it works

  • Initial onboarding and audit
    We review existing activity, documentation and goals, then map everything into the ENSO platform.
  • Priority setting and action planning
    Identify gaps, define next steps and assign responsibilities across your team.
  • Governance and monitoring setup
    Establish a practical plan for tracking progress and maintaining momentum over time.
  • Communication enablement
    Prepare your sustainability webpage, reporting structure and internal/external communication plan

Build trust through transparent communication

Share sustainability progress openly through a dedicated sustainability webpage that reflects real activity and outcomes, not marketing claims.

Support boards and senior decision makers

Provide clear, structured updates that show progress, priorities and areas for improvement, supporting informed decision making.

Prepare for investment and finance

Support investor due diligence and meet green finance criteria with organised sustainability information that is easy to review and share.

VSME Readiness

A focused, expert-led engagement designed to help SMEs prepare a credible sustainability report aligned with the Voluntary SME (VSME) framework. ENSO works directly with your team over a defined, intensive period to gather sustainability information, complete the VSME requirements and produce a structured report, without placing unnecessary burden on internal resources.

What you will achieve

  • A complete VSME-aligned sustainability report, delivered with ENSO and ready to share
  • A structured, ENSO-led process to gather, review and complete sustainability data with minimal burden on internal teams
  • Clear visibility on gaps, risks and improvement areas across the VSME framework
  • Defined ownership and governance to keep VSME information accurate and up to date over time
  • Improved readiness for tenders, customer data requests, supply chain reporting and investor due diligence
  • All VSME data structured inside the ENSO platform for reuse across reporting, communications and future requirements

How it works

  • Project kick-off and information review
    ENSO works with your team to understand what sustainability information already exists, what is being requested by customers or stakeholders, and what is needed to complete the VSME.
  • Expert-led audit and gap analysis
    We review and map the information against the VSME framework, identify gaps and do the work required to complete the report as efficiently as possible.
  • Review, refinement and sign-off
    Draft outputs are reviewed together, refined for clarity and accuracy, and finalised for use.
  • Governance and ongoing readiness
    We put a practical approach in place to keep VSME information up to date and ensure sustainability actions continue beyond the initial report.

Tender-Ready Support

Focused, expert-led support for SMEs responding to tenders where sustainability is a key factor. ENSO works with your team to align strategy, actions and evidence, ensuring sustainability information is clear, credible and ready to be assessed within procurement and tender processes.

Where this support adds most value

  • Live tenders or framework applications with sustainability or ESG scoring
  • Customer or buyer questionnaires requiring structured evidence
  • Procurement processes where sustainability is now a baseline requirement
  • Situations where existing sustainability work needs to be clearly documented and presented

ENSO brings together platform data, structured sustainability frameworks and hands-on expertise to help businesses respond confidently, without starting from scratch or overstretching internal teams.
