Industrial

Where the SOCI Act, the Inflation Reduction Act and the net-zero transition land on the same board agenda — and successor benches must price each one.

Industrial boards are operating under simultaneous transition: physical-asset re-pricing under climate disclosure, critical-infrastructure security designation, and ESG-conditioned capital. We have placed CEO, COO, Chief Operating Engineer, Chief Sustainability Officer and Audit Chair benches across listed mining, integrated energy, manufacturing, utilities and logistics groups.

SECTOR CAPABILITIES

What we are calibrated to deliver.

Climate-transition leadership

CEO and CSO scoring against TCFD, ISSB IFRS S2 and AASB S2 mandatory disclosure readiness.

Critical-infrastructure security

Chair and General Counsel benches calibrated for SOCI Act, NIS2 and CER Directive compliance.

Just-transition workforce strategy

Operator benches scored for closure-economy redeployment under ILO and just-transition frameworks.

Tailings, methane and Scope 3 attestation

Resources-sector CEO scoring for Global Tailings Standard, OGMP 2.0 and SBTi conformity.

SECTOR RISK VECTORS

The exposure pattern we price into every slate.

Methane and tailings disclosure

Sustained underperformance against OGMP 2.0 and GISTM commitments is now a chair-removal indicator.

Critical-infrastructure designation

SOCI / CISA / CER obligations now require continuity-of-leadership planning under formal attestation.

Activist climate resolutions

Say-on-climate vote losses correlate with subsequent chair re-composition within 18 months.

Scope 3 attribution failure

Inability to defensibly evidence Scope 3 reduction trajectory triggers proxy adviser opposition cascades.

SIGNATURE MANDATES

Anonymised by code; defensible by record.

Every engagement opens under NDA-by-default discretion. The mandates below are surfaced with code, region, remit and outcome — the underlying entity, candidate and counterparty detail remains under confidentiality envelope and is only disclosable on engagement under reciprocal NDA.
