Consulting and Advocacy

We collaborate with private and public companies, insurance providers, asset managers, and trade associations to enhance the impact, efficiency, and ROI of material non-financial reporting, disclosure, and strategy. As strong supporters of a wide range of carbon-intensive businesses, our work ensures that our clients communicate effective messaging strategies and implement internal measures that facilitate the long-term ability to preemptively identify risk and efficiently convey the economic realities of their respective businesses.  

Our ultimate goal is to help our clients access high-quality capital, stay ahead of the constantly evolving regulatory environment, and quantitatively demonstrate the economic impact of their strategic decisions.

Public Companies
Public Companies

Our consultative partnership encompasses a range of data-focused consultative projects depending on the complexity of the client and their short-, medium-,and long-term goals.Typically, this involves an in-depth, interview-driven materiality assessment, a peer gap analysis to identify areas of risk and opportunity relative to industry peers, ratings management (CDP,MSCI Sustainalytics, etc), ESG Mutual Fund and ETF fund flow analysis, board presentations, and comprehensive advisory services for completing a Corporate Sustainability Report. We pride ourselves on a bottom-up, customized approach to all our work given the intimate nuances to each company’s strategic position within the market.

Private Companies
Private Companies

Our goal with private companies is to establish a foundational starting point through a series of interviews with key internal stakeholders and peer benchmarking to understand the “state of the state.” Our work with private companies centers on gathering and analyzing company and peer data, and subsequently building a data warehouse along with standardized questionnaire frameworks to guide the engagement. We partner with private companies to position them for accessing financing at a lower cost, preparing for a potential acquisition unhindered by ESG data & disclosure.   We also assist in helping prepare companies for the public markets and an IPO if that is the strategic direction they want to pursue.

Cap-Intensive Trade Associations
Cap-Intensive Trade Associations

PEP is a primary provider of ESG reporting software and educational material for global trade associations.  The goal of the partnership is to focus on enhancing disclosure capabilities for Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers within the value chain.  This, in turn, allows Tier 1 OEMs and energy focused organizations to scale and efficiently manage the emission profile of their entire supply chain.  PEP also offers real-time analytics, highlighting disclosure trends within the ESG landscape and providing historical performance and benchmarking capabilities for all partners.

PEP Simple Platform

The PEP team created PEP Simple, a cloud-based software that simplifies ESG reporting, for companies ready to ditch the spreadsheets and adopt an easy, streamlined solution.
