An embedded senior ESG operator — without the full-time cost
The hardest part of ESG isn't the framework — it's having someone senior enough to make the calls, run the rooms, and earn the trust of finance, risk and the board. That's what a Fractional ESG Lead is for.
How it works
A senior ESG&I operator embedded 2 days per month inside your business — running governance, leading reporting cycles, fronting the board, and pulling in the wider bench when specialist work is needed.
When it fits
Scale-ups and mid-market firms that need ESG leadership now, but aren't ready (or don't need) a full-time hire. Often used to bridge to a permanent appointment, or to keep one senior seat warm across a multi-year program.
Frequently asked
How many days per month?
Typically ~2 days per month on-site or virtual, plus on-call advisory between.
What's the minimum term?
Three months, then quarterly rolling. Enough time to add real value, no long lock-in.
Do you replace our sustainability lead?
No — we sit alongside, lift them, or carry the seat until you hire. Many clients use this to bridge to a permanent hire.
How is this different from the Managed Service?
The Fractional Lead is a senior individual embedded in your business. The Managed Service is a full delivery team running the function.
