Lessons from Asia and Europe, Strategies for the World

Our Story: Where Strategy Meets Sustainability

The seeds of CES were planted at the intersection of global business and the pressing sustainability challenges facing organizations today. Born from over 20 years of navigating sustainability and innovation across three continents, we discovered a universal truth: real change happens when innovation meets intelligence. Our diverse, multinational, and cross-cultural team brings unparalleled expertise in specific areas of sustainability, combining deep global knowledge with localized insights. Hailing from all corners of the world, our experienced, diverse, cross-cultural consultants combine global insight with local relevance, enabling CES to offer solutions that are both internationally informed and locally grounded. We don't just understand sustainability — we live it, shape it, and help others excel at it.
