A global sustainability consultancy with UK offices in London, Bristol, Edinburgh, Harrogate, Manchester and Oxford, helping organisations cut carbon and run more sustainably.
Anthesis is a sustainability consultancy that helps organisations work out and carry out what being sustainable means for them. Its UK solution areas include net zero and decarbonisation, nature, reporting and disclosure, supply chain sustainability, sustainable finance, and carbon credits and projects. It serves sectors such as agribusiness, financial services, retail, technology and property. Its consultants guide clients through what it calls an Activator journey, which moves from analysis to solutions and then to putting them into practice. It also has a ventures arm that supports early-stage sustainability companies.
Anthesis dates its founding to 2013. It describes itself as "the sustainability activator" and as working with cities, companies and other organisations to improve sustainable performance and build more resilient, productive systems. Its stated commitment is "accelerating progress towards a world in which businesses thrive in harmony with the environment" and global communities, and it says impact is at the heart of what it does. It says it combines the reach of large professional services groups with the depth of specialist boutiques. Stuart McLachlan is named as chief executive.
In the UK, Anthesis lists a London headquarters at St Cross Street in Farringdon, and offices in Bristol, Edinburgh, Harrogate, Manchester and Oxford. Globally, its own description cites more than 1,250 experts across 45 offices in 23 countries, though a job-board profile lists around 728 employees. Named clients in that profile include Reckitt, Cisco, Tesco and The North Face. The Oxford office sits in The Old Music Hall on Cowley Road.
The pages we read give no statement of values or culture. A job-board listing shows roles that are mostly hybrid, and describes a mix of principal consultants, due diligence specialists, a sustainable data analyst and a senior business consultant on the client side. The firm describes itself as digitally enabled and science-based, which suggests teams where consultants, scientists and data staff work together. Treat these as descriptions from third-party listings rather than checked facts.
Roles in a sustainability consultancy include consultants and analysts who work with clients on carbon, nature, supply chains or reporting, life-cycle assessment specialists, data and software specialists, sector leads and account directors, and colleagues in finance, people and marketing. Degrees in environmental science, engineering, business, economics or data can all lead there, as can experience in a client industry. The company's website lists current openings.
