CAUSEWAY CONNECT LTD

What CAUSEWAY CONNECT LTD does

Causeway Connect Ltd is a UK-based ESG and sustainability consultancy founded in 2013 and operating as a subsidiary of Llama Connect Group, with offices in London and Skopje. The company delivers a bundled software-plus-services model: it resells and implements the IQ ESG rating platform, built in collaboration with ESG Pro Limited, and layers a comprehensive suite of managed ESG services on top, including materiality assessments, B Corp certification, supply chain audits, CSRD/TCFD/SECR/PAS2060/CBAM/ETS compliance, and ancillary bookkeeping, payroll, and remote staffing solutions.

The IQ ESG platform is offered in sector-specific variants (Hotels, Construction, Schools, Businesses) and features a 120-question online questionnaire across ten forms, automated ESG scoring, Scopes 1 and 2 carbon emissions calculations, certificate generation, a GDPR-compliant document upload system, a third-party auditor workflow, and real-time reporting. The platform is marketed as serving 250,000+ organisations globally, though this figure primarily reflects the underlying ESG Pro user base rather than Causeway's direct customers. Causeway Connect targets SMEs through to large corporates, with publicly disclosed annual subscription pricing ranging from £900 (1–10 employees) to £1,995 (251–1,000 employees), plus multi-year subscription discounts.

The company monetises through three streams: (1) IQ ESG subscription software sales, recurring and tiered by company size; (2) professional ESG consultancy engagements, both one-off projects and recurring annual subscriptions, including a fully managed service tier that bundles software at no extra cost; and (3) managed remote staffing services (shared and dedicated live chat agents starting at £99/month). Go-to-market is sales-led and consultancy-first, supported by content marketing (blog, vertical white papers), ESG Excellence webinars, Fast Start Workshops for CSRD/CBAM/ETS compliance, and direct sales for enterprise clients. Named logo references include Morgan Stanley, Boeing, Saudi Aramco, and the World Bank, but these sit at the platform level rather than as confirmed direct Causeway engagements.
