What we do
ISG provides evidence-led advisory support to organisations navigating climate risk and other complex, system-level challenges.
Our work is designed for moments where decisions matter, scrutiny is high, and credibility is essential. We help leaders understand what the evidence shows, what is changing around them, and what that means for strategy, positioning and action.
❋ Strategic AdvisoryWe support boards, executives and senior leadership teams on strategic questions shaped by climate risk, transition dynamics and systemic uncertainty.
This includes advising on direction of travel, strategic options, risk exposure and organisational positioning in fast-moving political, regulatory and market contexts. Our advice is grounded in evidence and delivered with commercial awareness.
❋ Advocacy & Strategic Communications We help organisations engage publicly on climate and policy issues with clarity and credibility.
Our work focuses on aligning messaging, advocacy and public positioning with the best available evidence, reducing reputational risk and ensuring communications stand up under scrutiny. This is not about visibility for its own sake, but about influencing conversations responsibly and effectively.
❋ Executive Climate BriefingsWe deliver rapid, decision-grade briefings for leadership teams.
Originally developed for policymakers and adapted for institutional audiences, these briefings build climate and risk literacy quickly. They cover key developments in science, policy and markets, and focus on what senior leaders need to know to make informed, credible decisions.
❋ Market IntelligenceWe provide science-based intelligence on climate and other emerging systemic risks with material implications for strategy and investment.
This work synthesises developments across science, policy, technology and markets, offering leaders clarity in complex and uncertain environments. Market intelligence can be delivered as standalone analysis or as part of ongoing advisory support.
❋ Plug-in Advisory BoardWe convene tailored advisory boards drawn from world-class expertise
These are used at moments of strategic importance, such as major decisions, launches, risk reviews or periods of transition. Advisory boards can be short-term or retained and are curated to bring the right insight to the right challenge.
❋ High-level ConveningsWe design and facilitate private, senior-level convenings focused on decision-making and alignment.
These sessions bring together leadership teams, experts and key stakeholders for closed-door discussions, challenge sessions or strategic working meetings. Convenings are built for substance and credibility, not publicity.
How we engage
ISG works flexibly, depending on the needs of the organisation and the moment it is facing. Engagements may be retained or project-based and are always bespoke.
All work is scoped to deliver clarity, credibility and impact at speed.
