Sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles are at the core of our work at PWP. We bring deep expertise in these areas, helping businesses not only meet their obligations—but turn sustainability into strategic advantage.

Our team understands the evolving expectations around climate action, resource efficiency, social responsibility and ethical governance. We work with clients to embed these principles into their operations, projects and business models in practical, measurable ways.

Whether it’s decarbonising supply chains, developing circular economy strategies, planning energy efficiency upgrades, or mapping ESG risks and opportunities, we help businesses align with global standards and government policy priorities. We’ve worked with manufacturers, food producers, agri-businesses, precinct developers and social enterprises to deliver projects that are environmentally responsible, commercially sound, and socially impactful.

Our approach balances ambition with action—we don’t just talk sustainability, we build it into the fabric of business planning, funding strategies and delivery. From emissions baselining and resource audits to ESG reporting frameworks and investor communications, we give clients the tools to move forward with confidence.

In a funding and investment landscape increasingly driven by sustainability outcomes, PWP ensures your projects are not only viable, but future-focused and aligned with where the world is heading.
