NorthPeak Advisory

What NorthPeak Advisory does

NorthPeak Advisory is a UK-based sustainability advisory and technology firm founded in September 2020, headquartered in London, serving asset managers and corporate clients with a combined advisory-plus-software model. The firm operates two proprietary platforms: APIP (Asset & Portfolio Intelligence Platform) for asset managers, providing AI-driven deal and news intelligence, carbon accounting, multi-framework data aggregation, and SFDR/EDCI reporting, and ASAP (Advanced Sustainability Accounting Platform) for corporates, offering Double Materiality assessments, carbon emissions and CSRD/ESRS/VSME/ISSB/SSBJ reporting, AI-driven competitive intelligence, supply-chain dependency mapping, and forthcoming GHG Scope 3 automation. Both platforms are complemented by bespoke advisory engagements covering M&A due diligence, responsible-investment framework development, climate scenario analysis, biodiversity (TNFD-aligned), and board-level sustainability training, alongside a standalone GHG calculator at asap-ghg.com.

The business is structured around two horizontal customer segments — Asset Managers (private equity, long-only, credit, hedge funds) and Corporates (listed multinationals and PE-backed enterprises) — each mapped to a dedicated platform and advisory suite. Revenue is generated through custom-scoped professional services engagements delivered on multi-year bases and recurring software subscriptions for APIP and ASAP; pricing is bespoke with no published tiers. Distribution relies on a direct enterprise sales motion, thought leadership via the firm's Insights platform, and a flagship ESG training partnership with the Financial Times Board Director Programme (2024). A January 2025 launch added a proprietary Biodiversity Measurement & Reporting Framework built with eDNAtec, SPYGEN, Emission Twin, and Applied Genomics, alongside an affiliate relationship with NorthPeak Governance, which places independent directors on fund boards under separate client books.

The firm is sub-10 employees (as disclosed in the FY 2022 Modern Day Slavery policy) and has served 50+ clients globally across European, African, and Asian markets since inception, with multilingual platform support including Japanese localization for corporate clients. Leadership comprises Chairman Dr Ian Heslop, co-founder and Head of Sales Petra Dismorr, Head of Advisory William Bryant (PRI Hedge Fund Advisory Committee), and a small associate and business-development team.
