What 4800 Partners does

4800 Partners, Inc. is a Washington, DC–based strategy advisory firm founded in May 2024 that advises organizations on embedding impact into core business strategy across the disciplines of Finance, Sustainability, Technology, and Communications. Its services span sustainability strategy, climate action and net-zero planning, impact measurement and management (IMM), regulatory compliance including the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), stakeholder engagement, and brand transformation, with sub-offerings such as sustainability strategy, double-materiality assessments, and capital-markets advisory. The firm primarily serves multinational corporates, financial institutions and asset managers, and international development organizations including named engagements with UNDP, the Government of Canada, the Inter-American Development Bank, and Fondaction Asset Management.

In July 2024, 4800 Partners acquired IMPACTO Consulting, a sustainability and impact advisory firm with virtual offices in Washington DC, San Francisco, Lima, and Barcelona, extending its footprint to North America, South America, and Europe and adding a four-year-old IMM practice. The combined firm is led by President & CEO Juliana Hess, with Stephanie Udler as COO & Head of Sustainability, David Garrison as Chief Brand Officer, Brian Liebman as Chief Revenue Officer, and Joseph D. Simpson as Founder & Partner; the broader team includes heads of sustainable finance, impact valuation, and capital markets. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees, with pricing not publicly disclosed and no software or productized offering. The go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement with C-suite and board-level executives, supported by a website, earned-media press releases, and partner-led referrals rather than paid marketing or channel partners.
