In Brief...
We help you improve your sustainability - first, measure how well you are currently doing, then how you can improve.
More than a trend
The purpose of sustainability is to help businesses balance profits with purpose, to make a positive impact on society
and the planet. It has become a business-critical topic that businesses can no longer afford to ignore. It is an issue of global concern, addressed primarily using the ESG framework, and governed by international standards, laws, and regulations, such as the SDGs, GRIs, CSRD, and many others.
ESG x Luxury
Once upon a time, sustainability was thought to be at odds, uncomplimentary and incompatible, with the notions and ideals of luxury – but not anymore. Today, the high standards associated with the luxury sector now extend to expectations about its sustainability performance. We take inspiration from the mission of Walpole, the official sector body for UK luxury, to help UK luxury SMEs become the most sustainable in the world.
LUXE-ESG is our dedicated programme specially designed to provide tailored guidance to help luxury SMEs improve their sustainability. It has three standalone, easy to follow modules, and is based on globally-recognised standards, laws, and regulations. It is delivered in partnership with the sustainability experts for SMEs, Eevery.

How to win in Strategy
The goal of strategy is to make optimal choices that best leverage your resources and capabilities, to create lasting value, and gain an advantage relative to the competition. Strategy involves an interconnected, non-linear, symbiotic process built on a firm understanding of: your current position and your available choices, and finally proceeds to steer your journey to your target destination.
Luxury - A Complex Sector
The luxury and high-end sector is highly complex and multi-dimensional; comprised of businesses pursuing the highest standards in quality, craftsmanship, exclusivity and distinctiveness. Incumbents customarily seek to deploy the most highly composite competitive strategies, often discounting the confinements of cost factors, to explore the boundless range of unique dimensions available under a given business model.
The 'TEN LEVERS of Luxury' Framework
We have developed the TEN LEVERS of Luxury framework, underpinned by our innovatory AI-powered strategy tool. The model is built on the ten specificities that characterise luxury goods and services, and translate synchronously into strategic 'levers' that define and strengthen competitive advantage. It provides the basis for our objective assessment and scoring mechanism, which identifies strengths and weaknesses, and highlights areas for improvement, to help position businesses for tangible and sustainable competitive advantage.

We help you with your processes - how to utilise your resources more efficiently for greater outputs and profitability.
Reset and Reconfigure
In today’s highly competitive environment, successful businesses across every industry proactively seek to deliver their products and services in a way that outperforms others. In the luxury sector, this translates to a heightened demand for excellence in quality, innovation, artistry, and craftsmanship; in an increasingly complex and disruptive business climate.
A Great Awakening
For decades, large swathes of the luxury industry have resisted change and modernisation; often in a deliberate effort to preserve heritage and craftsmanship where relevant; and in part, a tactial approach to avert commoditisation. Today however, many incumbents are awakening to a bilateral approach, which embraces modern advancements in some areas, whilst retaining the fundamental and irreplaceable aspects of their tradition and legacy. This presents new possibilities for competitive advantage. and immense potential for sustainable value.
