Ready to develop a sustainability strategy that sets your business apart and drives real impact? We've got your back every step of the way.
-
A business sustainability strategy is a plan that helps your business grow with purpose as well as profit. It’s about building long-term success by understanding your impact, setting meaningful goals, and planning for the future.
A clear sustainability strategy helps you make better decisions for your business, your people, and the planet. It makes good business sense for every organisation to have one.
-
Create a tailored sustainability strategy that builds on the ethics and values of your business
Develop clear social and environmental goals that bring your impact to the next level
Identify key data points and set up tracking mechanisms to streamline your sustainability processes
Build a clear and comprehensive implementation plan for improvement
Discover what mandatory reporting or voluntary standards are relevant to your business.
-
We know that every business is different, with its own purpose, priorities, and challenges. That’s why our approach to a sustainability strategy is never one-size-fits-all. We take the time to understand your business, your team, and what matters most to you.
You’ll work with our collaborative, clear, and results-focused team, and we’ll help you turn complex sustainability concepts into practical steps that make sense for your business and your goals.

B Corp™ is more than a certification — it's a movement. It's recognition that businesses can be a force for good and help drive positive change by balancing purpose with profit.
It’s based on a robust sustainability framework. Achieving B Corp™ certification means meeting rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
Working with us not only helps you progress your B Corp journey but also helps you better understand the key areas of impact across your business.
-
As trained B Leaders, we’re a B Corp–recommended partner and sustainability experts, qualified to guide businesses through the often complex and rigorous, but always rewarding, B Corp certification process. We bring the knowledge, tools, and experience to make your certification journey as straightforward and supportive as possible.
Whether you’re just beginning your B Impact Assessment (BIA) or preparing for verification, we’ll be with you every step of the way.
-
We believe that the certificate at the end of the B Corp journey is a huge achievement; it’s proof that your business is committed to doing good! But it’s only one part of the story. The certification process highlights areas you may not have realised were important and gives you both a reason to be proud and a clear, actionable plan for improvement.
Another great reason to become a B Corp is the community. When purpose-driven businesses come together, they share ideas, inspiration, and energy, and that’s where real change begins.
-
As the world evolves, so must the way we do business. In 2025, B Lab announced significant updates to the B Corp standards, explaining that “As the climate crisis intensifies and societal inequality grows, the need to bring about systemic change is clear.”
The new standards strengthen accountability and transparency. Businesses are now required to take meaningful action across seven key social, environmental, and governance impact areas - up from the previous five. Another major change is the removal of the old points-based system. Instead, all businesses must now meet minimum requirements in all seven impact areas to achieve certification.
These updated requirements will apply to all organisations certifying or recertifying from January 2026 onwards.
We’ve created a guide to help you understand the new standards and see exactly how we’ll support you through certification under the new framework - read it here.
-
Every business is different, and so are its goals. That’s why we work together to build a six to ten month personalised roadmap, designed to take you from where you are today to full certification under the new standards. Our process is structured, supportive, and never overwhelming, giving you clarity and confidence at every stage.
Together, we’ll work through key activities such as stakeholder engagement, materiality analysis, and risk assessment, followed by tailored plans that bring your purpose to life, from employee culture and climate action plans to JEDI (justice, equity, diversity and inclusion) frameworks. Each step helps your business meet the updated requirements across the new B Corp impact areas.
What might seem challenging on your own becomes achievable, and even inspiring, with the right guidance and support from Cyd Connects.
-

Solution 3Sustainability Reporting Support
We believe reporting should be more than a box-ticking exercise; it should drive real change. With expert guidance from Cyd Connects, your reporting can strengthen your strategy, engage your stakeholders, and build a lasting impact.
Whether you're a large business preparing for mandatory reporting under the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) or Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), or a smaller business committing to voluntary standards, we know that reporting can feel complex, confusing, and downright impossible at times.
We’re here to help you make sense of it all, turning complicated requirements into clear, practical steps that fit your business.
Regulations and standards are evolving quickly, and it can be hard to know what you must do, what you should do, and what doesn’t apply. We’ll help you understand which requirements are relevant to your business, and if any are mandatory, we can support you with those too.
Voluntary standards such as VSME are one of the best ways to understand your business’s impact, identify opportunities for improvement, and demonstrate genuine accountability to all your stakeholders. They help you clearly and accurately answer questions from customers, suppliers, banks, and investors, while also preparing your organisation for any future mandatory reporting that may be introduced.
We can help with:
-
We support with voluntary sustainability reporting for small and medium enterprises. We help you understand the voluntary SME standards, collect the right data, and communicate your impact in a genuine and useful way.
-
From building a strategy to writing the final report, we guide you through the full CSRD and ESRS process, making sure your reporting meets regulatory requirements and adds genuine value to your business.
-
We support businesses in understanding and implementing the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), making sure your supply chain and operations avoid adverse human rights and environmental impacts.
-
With our guidance, you will discover how your business both affects and is affected by environmental and social issues. We help you identify and prioritise the topics that matter most to your stakeholders, your strategy, and your future.
-
We work with you to set measurable, meaningful sustainability KPIs, and support you in tracking and managing progress over time.
-
We assess where you are now, where you need to be, and what steps will get you there.
-
We help you listen to the voices that matter, from employees, suppliers, and customers to communities and nature itself. This ensures your reporting reflects real impacts and real opportunities.
-
Whether you need support writing, reviewing, or finalising your report, we’ll help you bring it all together in a way that’s clear, compliant, and impactful.

Solution 4Communicating your purpose
We’re rewriting the rules: nice guys now finish first.
We partner with businesses to communicate sustainability in ways that are clear, credible, and add to both purpose and profit.
How we bring your sustainability story to life
Let us help you turn the good you do into genuine brand value by making sustainability your strategic advantage, one that drives long-term growth.
-
Your customers are looking for you. More than ever, people want to support companies that care about society, the planet, and our shared future. That’s why getting your message out there matters, but it’s not always easy to reach the right people in the right way. It’s essential to avoid greenwashing and greenwishing, but also greenhushing, because there’s no value in hiding the good your business is already doing.
Together, we’ll create a sustainability communications strategy that aligns with your existing brand and helps you use the good you do as your superpower. We’ll help you clarify your story, shape key messages, and share them through the right channels, building trust, credibility, and meaningful connections along the way.
-
The standard way to measure a campaign’s success is by its ROI, and that matters. But we believe there’s another metric that’s just as important: impact.
Our purpose-driven campaigns balance profit and purpose, helping businesses grow while staying true to their values. We create campaigns that communicate the why behind what you do, connecting audiences to your mission, building trust, and driving meaningful change.
-
An impact report allows a business to show all stakeholders the difference they’re making, and the direction they’re moving in. Some businesses create them as part of a formal commitment, while others do so to be transparent and hold themselves accountable.
We support businesses at every stage of the process: from structuring the report and identifying what to include, to sourcing data and even writing the full report if required. The result is a clear, credible, and engaging document that tells your story and connects with your stakeholders.
-
Good intentions only matter if people know about them. We help you bring your sustainability story to life through content that actually reaches people.
From thought-leadership blog articles and website copy to engaging social media posts and newsletters, we ensure every piece of content reflects your purpose and your brand voice.
We can plan, write, and manage content that makes your sustainability work visible and valuable, connecting it to what your brand and audience care about most.
-
Events are powerful opportunities to turn values into experiences. Whether it’s a workshop, a panel discussion, a product launch, or a community initiative, we help you design and deliver sustainability events that educate, engage, and most importantly, inspire action.
-
We work with businesses to make their message interesting, engaging and relevant to the consumer, embedding sustainability throughout your marketing and communications journey to build stronger connections, loyalty and long-term brand value.
As marketing and communications experts, we specialise in sharing your sustainability efforts authentically and effectively.
