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.

Our Origin

We cut our teeth in the tech hubs of Europe and Asia, helping Fortune 500 companies and startups alike turn disruption, innovation and sustainability into opportunity. Our mission is clear: we are making sustainability action accessible, measurable, impactful and business-smart.

The Pragmatic Idealist Approach: We bridge visionary thinking with executable roadmaps

The Asia-Europe Lens: Insights from the world's most dynamic and diverse markets
