About company

At The Transition Studio, we believe that every organisation has the power, and responsibility, to shape a more resilient and equitable future.

Clear direction. Shared understanding. And measurable progress toward sustainability goals.

ESG Data Intelligence and Materiality Mapping

We apply data-driven tools to identify, assess, and prioritise the ESG issues most material to your business. Using double materiality frameworks aligned with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)ISSB standards (IFRS S1 & S2), and GRI 2021, we help organisations focus on what truly drives long-term resilience and stakeholder value.

Dynamic Transition Diagnostics

Through systems mapping and scenario modelling, we visualise how social, environmental, and economic forces interact across your operations and value chain. Our Transition Diagnostics Tool combines ESG performance data with scenario-based foresight to identify high-impact leverage points for sustainable transformation.

Impact Measurement & Disclosure Alignment

We support organisations to design impact indicators aligned with emerging disclosure frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD)Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This ensures your reporting not only meets compliance needs but also tells a credible story of progress and purpose.

Facilitation & Co-Creation Labs

Our facilitation methodology blends design thinkingparticipatory foresight, and systems mapping to engage diverse teams in shaping their sustainability pathways. Each Lab is designed as a learning space — where evidence meets experience, and strategy becomes shared vision.

Our story

A 100% black female owned enterprise 

At The Transition Studio, we started with a simple belief: sustainability transitions are not just technical exercises but are acts of transformation. Born out of the intersection between climate research, systems thinking, and participatory design, The Transition Studio was founded to help organisations navigate complexity with clarity and purpose. We saw that many companies were making sustainability commitments but struggling to move from intention to implementation, often missing the connective tissue between data, people, and decision-making. 


Bridging the gap.

We exist to bridge the gap between analysis and actionstrategy and culture, and data and dialogue. Our work integrates cutting-edge ESG methodologies with facilitation processes that build ownership, alignment, and accountability across organisations.


Supporting bold leadership.

We work with leaders who are ready to ask difficult questions, explore new models, and translate sustainability into lasting value, not as a compliance exercise, but as a strategic and ethical imperative.


Reimagining impact.

Whether designing just transition strategies, developing ESG roadmaps, or facilitating multi-stakeholder dialogues, we approach every engagement as a studio, a space for learning, experimentation, and creation. The Transition Studio isn’t just a consultancy.

It’s a catalyst for reimagining how organisations evolve, responsibly, collaboratively, and credibly, toward a sustainable future.

The Transition Studio.

Our work is guided by rigorous analytics and innovative facilitation frameworks that merge global best practice with contextual intelligence.
