About ES Global Consulting
ES Global is a private sector international development and management consulting firm specializing in business solutions to sustainable development. We have over 12 years of experience in the fields of micro and small enterprise development, corporate social responsibility, social investment, and local economic development. Our firm’s hands-on experience in over 60 countries and our commitment to profitable and sustainable business gives ES Global a unique perspective, appreciation for, and sensitivity to sustainable development in transitional, emerging, and developing countries.
We became a B Corporation to learn from others, to be a part of a community of like minded businesses and investors, and to demonstrate to stakeholders the commitment we have to our vision.
We are driven by a passionate commitment to helping our clients achieve profitable and sustainable businesses and development outcomes. With a multi-cultural staff based around the world, we know enterprise strategies work best when local and international best practice guides custom, context-specific solutions. Our services are guided by sharp market intelligence, a deep understanding of sustainable business practice and extensive hands-on enterprise management experience in transitional, emerging and developing countries.
The Change We Seek®
We seek to create a world where sustainable and profitable is synonymous in companies large and small.
• As an international consultancy our consultants travel and are responsible for a good deal of carbon emissions. That is why we established our Cleaner Air Carbon Offset Program. In addition to this basic offset cost, ES Global adds an additional 10% to the offset as a way to provide a net benefit to the environment each time a member of our team travels. This is because part of our firm’s mission is to make the world cleaner and greener.
• ES Global is committed to reducing its operational impact on the environment in our offices as well. Our initiatives are simple. They include using both sides of paper, using recycled toner, rechargeable batteries and low energy lights, among other actions. Moreover, by virtue of operating as a virtual office, we already have a much smaller resource footprint than other companies our size. Our commitment to constant improvement to virtual team management and communication not only put us at the forefront of small company sustainability, but also keeps our operating costs down and productivity up!
• ES Global matches up to three days a staff volunteering for cultural, social, environmental, or economic development activities of their choice.
