Strategic ESG and Impact Advisory for a Resilient Future.

About us

At Echelon ESG Partners we partner with forward-thinking organisations to integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into their strategy, operations, and culture. In a rapidly evolving regulatory and stakeholder landscape, ESG is no longer a “nice to have”—it’s a business imperative.

We bring deep expertise, global frameworks, and local context to help clients navigate risks, unlock sustainable growth opportunities, and build long-term value for people, planet, and profit. Whether you’re just beginning your ESG journey or ready to enhance your existing approach, we’re here to guide you with purpose, clarity, and impact.

Our focus areas

Environmental
At Echelon ESG Partners we support organisations in identifying and managing their environmental impact in a way that drives both regulatory compliance and long-term sustainability.

We help clients assess carbon emissions, energy efficiency, water use, waste management, and climate-related risks—using globally aligned frameworks such as the GHG Protocol, TCFD, and ISO standards.

Our approach is practical and data-driven, enabling companies to align with local legislation (e.g., Carbon Tax Act) while transitioning towards low-carbon and circular operating models that meet investor and stakeholder expectations.
Social
We believe that strong social performance is essential to building resilient, inclusive, and responsible organisations.

Our advisory services help clients embed social responsibility into their core business—through stakeholder engagement, diversity and inclusion strategies, employee wellbeing initiatives, supply chain due diligence, and community investment planning.

We work closely with clients to integrate ESG with South Africa’s unique transformation and development priorities, including alignment with B-BBEE codes, SDGs, and community-based impact assessments.
Governance
Good governance is the foundation of sustainable business. We support boards and leadership teams in strengthening ethical leadership, transparency, and accountability across their operations.

Our services include ESG policy development, governance frameworks, risk management alignment, ESG-linked remuneration structures, and integrated reporting support in line with King IV and ISSB standards.

We help our clients demonstrate strong governance practices that build investor confidence, mitigate ESG risks, and support long-term strategic goals.
