What is the Wylde Hive? Our integrated approach to ESG consultancy, training and communications services

18/05/2026

The Wylde Hive is Wylde Connections’ integrated service ecosystem: a modular framework that brings together ESG diagnostics, sustainability consultancy, training and communications support, giving businesses of every size a clear, structured pathway from initial assessment through to measurable impact and industry recognition.

Sustainability is a broad and complex challenge. For many businesses, the difficulty is not a lack of willingness but knowing where to start, what to prioritise and how to make meaningful progress without losing focus on the day job. That is why we built the Wylde Hive.

Since founding in 2020, we have developed a full turnkey offer incorporating strategic diagnostic tools, training programmes, consultancy services and communications support. Whether you need to prove compliance with sustainability legislation, demonstrate ESG credentials to customers and supply chains, or showcase a proactive commitment to sustainable practices, the Wylde Hive brings together every service you need under one roof.

Each piece of the honeycomb represents a distinct service area. Together they form a complete, modular framework that meets businesses wherever they are on their sustainability journey.

Enveglas ESG Diagnostic: understanding where your business stands

At the top of the Wylde Hive sits the Enveglas ESG Diagnostic Tool, and for good reason. Enveglas is the entry point for many of our clients. It provides a clear and comprehensive baseline assessment across environmental, social and governance themes, identifying strengths, gaps and priority focus areas. The result is an evidence-based picture of where your business stands today and a clear view of what needs to happen next.

For many organisations, Enveglas is the first step towards understanding their ESG position. It removes the guesswork and replaces it with structured, data-driven insight that aligns with key frameworks and regulations including CSRD, SECR and supply chain requirements.

We also offer a free ESG Progress Checker, which gives businesses a quick snapshot of their current sustainability maturity. It often serves as the very first conversation we have with a new client. From there, the full Enveglas diagnostic goes deeper, giving organisations the foundation they need to build a credible and measurable sustainability strategy — one that can be evidenced in tenders, customer questionnaires and investor conversations alike.

Sustainability consultancy: turning ESG insight into action

Beneath Enveglas in the Hive sits our sustainability consultancy services. These cover the practical work of turning diagnostic insight into real, measurable progress. Our consultancy spansthe following core areas:

  • Sustainability strategy development and ESG action planning. We run insight-driven workshops covering SWOT and PESTLE analysis, value chain mapping and materiality assessment, then create targeted strategies and action plans with carbon reduction roadmaps and sustainability reporting frameworks.
  • ESG reporting and carbon reporting. We support businesses with CSRD, SECR and ESOS compliance, GHG emissions calculations to the GHG Protocol and net zero planning. For SMEs facing customer or tender requests, this includes producing the carbon baseline and Carbon Reduction Plans that procurement teams require.
  • Product circularity. Through Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), we help product-led businesses understand and communicate the environmental impact of what they make or sell.
  • Supply chain ESG support. For corporates managing complex supply chains, we help bridge the gap between the Scope 3 data they need from suppliers and the support those suppliers need to provide it. For SMEs, we help build the ESG credentials and evidence base that wins tenders and satisfies customer demands.

Each service is practical, tailored and aligned to real business goals. All work is underpinned by our 7-Step Sustainability Staircase, which maps the journey from pre-compliance through to differentiated ESG leadership.

Sustainability training: building knowledge, confidence and capability

The next tier of the Hive is training. We believe lasting change comes from people understanding the reasons behind sustainability and being empowered to act. Our training ecosystem covers:

We offer flexible options for all budgets, from free introductory workshops and team training sessions to accredited programmes. Our Course Catalogue includes Climate Fresk, Doughnut Economics, Value Chain Mapping, ISO 14001 Technical Training, Sustainable Business Skills and our flagship Sustainability Strategy Masterclass.

All sessions blend insight with practical application, translating complex sustainability concepts into clear, actionable learning aligned with business priorities. Participants leave ready to influence, innovate and embed change.

Sustainability communications: telling your story with credibility

The foundation layer of the Hive is communications and stakeholder engagement — and it is where sustainability progress becomes visible. This layer includes:

  • ESG accreditation support. Helping businesses achieve and communicate recognised sustainability credentials.
  • Strategic ESG brand and marketing. From sustainability reports and impact narratives to campaigns and brand alignment, we craft evidence-based, authentic messages that prevent greenwashing and build lasting trust.
  • Awards applications and industry recognition. We help our clients evidence their sustainability progress for awards and accreditation schemes that build reputation and open new commercial doors.

We support stakeholder engagement through targeted communication and change management, building shared understanding and embedding new ways of working. Every message we help you craft is grounded in data and action, helping you build stronger reputations, greater trust and lasting engagement with customers, supply chains and communities.

Who we work with

The Wylde Hive is designed to work for businesses of all sizes and sectors. We work with manufacturing, construction, medtech, retail, facilities management, education and professional services SMEs that need to build ESG credentials to satisfy customer demands or win tenders. We also work with corporates managing complex supply chains that need help meeting CSRD, SECR or Scope 3 reporting obligations. And we work with public sector and third sector organisations embedding sustainable practice across their operations.

Because the Hive is modular, we can scope support precisely to where a business is on its sustainability journey. A client who has just received their first ESG questionnaire from a customer needs different support from one who is preparing for a CSRD-aligned report or bidding on a public sector framework. We meet businesses where they are and help them move forward.

The team behind the Hive

Behind every element of the Wylde Hive is a growing team of dedicated professionals. Our core team brings together expertise in sustainability consultancy, environmental management, communications, leadership development, training and marketing. Beyond this, we work with a carefully selected network of associates and partners, each bringing specialist knowledge that allows us to meet every client requirement — whether that means an accredited trainer delivering a Climate Fresk workshop, or a leadership coach supporting a senior management team.

This combination of in-house expertise and a trusted network means we can scale our support to match the size and complexity of any organisation. We work in partnership, co-creating solutions and celebrating progress with our clients. It is an approach that reflects our mission: to enable businesses to embed sustainable practices across their operations in order to drive positive impacts for the benefit of society, the environment and nature.

Frequently Asked Questions…

What is the difference between the free ESG Progress Checker and the full Enveglas diagnostic?

The free ESG Progress Checker is a ten-minute self-assessment that benchmarks your current sustainability maturity across environmental, social and governance themes and produces a personalised snapshot report. It is ideal as a first step and often serves as the starting point for our client conversations. The full Enveglas diagnostic goes substantially deeper: it is a structured, facilitated assessment that produces a comprehensive evidence-based report, identifies specific gaps and priorities, and provides the foundation for a credible sustainability strategy.

Do I have to use all of the Wylde Hive services?

No. The Hive is modular by design. Some clients come to us needing only a GHG emissions baseline and a Carbon Reduction Plan to respond to a tender. Others engage us across diagnostics, consultancy, training and communications as a long-term partner. We scope each engagement to the business’s specific priorities and budget, and many clients start with one piece of the Hive and expand the relationship over time as their sustainability journey develops.

Which sectors do you work with?

We work across manufacturing, construction, medtech, facilities management, professional services, retail, education, public sector and the third sector. Our approach is sector-aware rather than sector-specific: we adapt the tools, language and examples we use to fit the client’s operating context, whether that is a 10-person SME navigating its first ESG questionnaire or a multi-site corporate preparing a CSRD-aligned sustainability report.

How do I know where to start?

Start with the free ESG Progress Checker. It takes ten minutes and gives you a clear view of where your business currently sits across ESG themes. From there, book a free Discovery Call with our team and we will help you identify the right starting point within the Hive for your specific goals, timeline and budget.
