ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE SOLUTIONS LIMITED

What ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE SOLUTIONS LIMITED does

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE SOLUTIONS LIMITED, trading as E.S.G. Solutions, is a UK-domiciled boutique ESG consultancy founded in October 2020 by Chartered Environmental Engineer Antonio Messina. The firm delivers bespoke sustainability technical services across four pillars: sustainable finance and ESG advisory (asset-level ESG assessments, GRESB, GRI/CDP reporting, TCFD, net-zero carbon strategies); compliance obligations and certification (ESOS, Article 8 EED, EPC/DEC, SECR, MEES, GHG verification, BREEAM, LEED, Fitwel, WELL, WiredScore, ISO 14001/50001); performance measurement and technical support (energy audits, sub-metering, dynamic simulation modelling, embodied carbon LCA); and the Get It Fair (GIF) ESG Rating Scheme, delivered in partnership with ICMQ Certification India. Commercial delivery follows a seller-doer model where consultants directly engage sustainability officers, asset managers, real estate developers, property owners, institutional investors, and corporate tenants; revenue is generated via project fees, retainers, and hourly rates on bespoke scopes rather than standardised pricing tiers. The firm operates from a London West End office (207 Regent Street, opened 2020), a London City office (Tallis House, 2024) and a registered office in Swanley, Kent, drawing on a global network of specialist Associates to extend reach into the EU 27 Member States and other international markets. Capital structure is bootstrap founder-led with no disclosed external investment, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
