Sustainability Strategy and Advisory
We help orgaisations design and implement effective sustainability strategies and provide advisory services that drive ESG leadership and long-term success. From materiality assessments to tailored policies and strategic advice, we ensure your sustainability approach delivers enduring value.
Materiality Assessment
A materiality assessment enables you to identify and prioritise the environmental, social and governance (ESG) impacts, risks and opportunities that are most material to your business and its stakeholders.
Oxygen Consulting assesses the ESG impact, financial impact, and importance of key sustainability topics through a focused stakeholder-driven approach. Our processes are informed by global best practice guidance, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), B Corporation, and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
Sustainability Strategy
Whether you are wanting to develop a full sustainability strategy or a simple action plan, we customise our approach to align with your specific needs.
Oxygen Consulting develops sustainability strategies that integrate seamlessly into your core business, with clear objectives, actionable plans, and measurable outcomes.
We use a structured approach that includes benchmarking, materiality, stakeholder engagement, and best practice frameworks such as the United Nationals Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
We collaborate with you to build the governance and capability needed for the successful execution of your strategy.
Sustainable Supply Chain
Oxygen Consulting can help you assess the sustainability of your organisation’s value chain or supply chain with a focus on sustainable procurement, Scope 3 emissions, and modern slavery.
Our expert approach enables you to develop strategies for responsible sourcing, emissions reduction, and risk mitigation, ensuring a more transparent and sustainable supply chain.
Modern Slavery Risk Assessment
Understand and manage modern slavery risks across your operations and supply chains. We help organisations identify where risks of forced labour and exploitation are most likely, assess the strength of existing controls, and build effective due diligence systems in line with international expectations.
Our services support compliance with the Australian Modern Slavery Act, the UK Modern Slavery Act, and emerging EU and New Zealand requirements. We provide risk mapping and prioritisation, supplier and sector risk assessments, policy and governance review, due diligence framework design, and support with modern slavery statements and reporting.
We focus on practical, proportionate action, helping you embed risk-based due diligence into procurement, supplier engagement, remediation processes and ongoing monitoring, so you can meet regulatory obligations, respond to stakeholder expectations, and uphold responsible business practices.
B Corp Certification
As both a Certified B Corporation and an accredited B Consultant (trained by B Lab Australia and New Zealand), Oxygen Consuting brings firsthand experience and specialist expertise to guide you through the B Corp certification process. We understand the journey because we've been through it ourselves - ensuring you receive expert support with real-world insight.
Oxygen Consulting makes the B Corp Certification process straightforward by providing practical guidance through the assessment and supporting you in developing improvement plans to meet certification standards.

TVNZ
Materiality Assessment
“Oxygen took the time to understand TVNZ - where we’re at, what we needed, and where they could add the most value. They struck the right balance of providing clear expertise and structure, while keeping the process focused, practical and easy to work through. With sustainability newly sitting in my remit, and no dedicated sustainability specialist in our team, having expert guidance made a huge difference. Oxygen helped us shape a strategy that is thoughtful, comprehensive and aligned with where we’re going as a business. We set strong foundations from which we can confidently move forward from.”
