Direct peers

• South Pole: South Pole is a global climate consulting and project developer that helps companies measure carbon footprints, set science-based targets, and run decarbonization strategies. Highly comparable to Kolibri's carbon and climate advisory work and a direct peer in the strategic sustainability consulting space.
• EcoAct: EcoAct is an international climate consulting firm focused on carbon strategy, climate disclosure, and net-zero roadmaps. Overlaps directly with Kolibri's carbon footprint measurement, ISO-aligned methodology, and strategy engagements.
• Anthesis Group: Anthesis Group is a sustainability consultancy with deep capabilities in circularity, ESG strategy, and supply-chain decarbonization. Closely comparable in service mix (carbon, circularity, strategy) and in serving multinational corporations on sustainability transformation.
• Quantis: Quantis is a sustainability consulting firm specializing in environmental footprinting (carbon, water, biodiversity) and sustainability strategy for global enterprises. Matches Kolibri's environmental strategy and impact-measurement offerings across industries.
• BSR (Business for Social Responsibility): BSR is a global nonprofit sustainability consultancy that helps companies integrate ESG strategy, climate action, and human rights into core operations. Directly comparable to Kolibri's strategic sustainability advisory model and enterprise-client focus.

Broad incumbents

• Environmental Resources Management (ERM): ERM is one of the largest global environmental and sustainability consultancies with a broad portfolio including EHS, climate, and impact advisory. While broader in scope than Kolibri, ERM is a relevant incumbent benchmark for carbon, water, and circular economy engagements with multinational clients.

Emerging players

• Sphera: Sphera provides ESG and operational risk software plus sustainability advisory. Comparable in carbon-footprint, ESG reporting, and circularity themes, but operates a software-led model that contrasts with Kolibri's pure-services positioning.
• Watershed: Watershed is a climate platform combining carbon accounting software with advisory services for enterprises pursuing science-based targets. A partial-overlap emerging player that could reshape the carbon-measurement segment where Kolibri currently provides manual advisory services.

Regional players

• Centro Mario Molina (Mexico-based sustainability advisory): Centro Mario Molina is a Mexico-based sustainability research and policy organization that advises companies and government on environmental strategy. A relevant Mexican regional peer for ESG and circular-economy advisory work.
• Carboneutral® Colombia / Eco-business Fund: Carboneutral and similar LATAM-based carbon and sustainability consultancies operate in the same regional markets as Kolibri, offering carbon footprint, LCA, and sustainability advisory to enterprises across Spanish-speaking Americas.
