LNG developers and operators are facing a new reality: lenders, regulators, investors, and communities expect more than project delivery alone. Access to capital, permitting certainty, climate performance, methane management, operational resilience, and EHS excellence are increasingly influencing project outcomes and long-term competitiveness.

ERM, alongside partners Eigen Ventures, Scope 3 Peer Group and SRS Sustainable Business, has undertaken research funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), to identify potential market interventions to accelerate adoption of low-carbon and resource-efficient innovations across the UK’s automotive, built environment and chemicals sectors.

The Leadership Perspectives series brings together views from ERM leaders on the critical challenges shaping business today, offering actionable insights and solutions to navigate complexity and deliver impact. Over the past three decades, organizations have built increasingly expansive Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) programs to manage regulatory compliance and protect their license to operate.

ReThink Hong Kong brings together business leaders, policymakers, investors, and innovators to accelerate sustainable transformation across Asia.

The ERM Foundation is dedicated to creating a sustainable future by equipping nonprofit organizations and social enterprises to deliver meaningful impact long after our direct involvement has ended. We support projects and programs that focus on capacity building and sustainable development; tackling modern slavery and promoting human rights; and shaping a nature-positive and net-zero future for all.

For many entities reporting under Australia’s mandatory climate disclosure regime, the initial focus has been on governance, scenario analysis and establishing Scope 1 and 2 emissions baselines, with most entities relying on transitional relief to defer Scope 3 reporting in year one.

A practical roadmap to net zero for a sector the world’s food system depends on, balancing emissions reduction with food affordability, food security, and long-term resilience. An EBRD initiative, developed by ERM and Systemiq, in collaboration with IFA. Phosphate and potash fertilizers are foundational to the global food system. Together with nitrogen, they underpin agricultural productivity, crop resilience, and food security worldwide.

ERM, the world’s largest specialist sustainability consultancy, has published a practical, science-based pathway to reduce emissions across the global potash and phosphate fertilizer industry. The new roadmap, “Decarbonizing the Phosphate and Potash Fertiliser Industry”, sets out how the sector that underpins global food production can cut emissions in line with the Paris Agreement while preserving affordability, supply resilience and food security.

Businesses are entering a new phase of sustainable growth, where scaling AI infrastructure, circular models, low-carbon operations, carbon drawdown, power sourcing, and innovation is becoming central to competitiveness and resilience. Increasingly, these challenges are interconnected, shaping how quickly organizations can turn sustainability ambition into delivery.
