ABOUT US

We exist because sustainability teams are too small for what's being asked of them.

Five years ago, a sustainability team could get by with a generalist. That era is over. Today, a single sustainability lead is expected to navigate regulations like UK SRS, set science-based targets, certify under standards like B Corp, respond to investor ESG questionnaires, map emissions across global supply chains, and answer board questions on biodiversity risk.Each is a distinct discipline. Each takes years to master. And the regulatory landscape is moving faster and faster.The people in sustainability roles are being set up with an impossible brief. But the alternatives have not been good enough.

Hiring full-time is risky, costly, and gets you one person’s expertise, assuming you can find the right person. Traditional consultancies are expensive, and the person who pitched the work is rarely the person who delivers it. Leaning on your network is a gamble, and when the work is regulatory or reputational, getting the right person is critical.

The volume and complexity of sustainability regulation has outpaced what any single team can cover and the cost of getting it wrong has become material.

You can't 10x your team. So what can you do?

Leafr was built for this moment. We help you work with top sustainability specialists, vetted for quality and sector-specific experience, on a project by project basis. This means you can bring in the right expertise at the right time, and your sustainability team can stop trying to be experts in everything.

A Global Network

Serving clients around the globe

Wherever your business operates, we have specialists who understand the local regulatory landscape and can work in your time zone.

Our Founders

We've lived this problem from both sides

Leafr was founded by Nick and Gus after they experienced this frustration from opposite ends. Nick spent years inside a top consultancy before going independent. He saw how the traditional model worked from the inside and why it so often failed to deliver for clients. Gus had been on the other side, hiring consultants to solve sustainability problems and struggling to find the quality of expertise he actually needed. Between them, they had experienced both sides of the same broken market.

They saw how other industries like legal, finance, and technology had all moved towards flexible expert networks, and were reaping the benefits. Companies were getting better outcomes, faster, and at a fraction of the cost.

Sustainability was facing the same pressures, but had no equivalent infrastructure. It felt like the space was screaming out for it. So they built Leafr.

Fast forward to today and Leafr now serves 100s of clients across 3 continents, with 1000s of vetted consultants in the network.

Throughout, our mission has remained the same: get the right sustainability expertise to where it is needed, fast, and at a fraction of the cost of anywhere else.
