The green economy will be over €7 trillion by 2030 and it's not just compliance work, it is mainstream economic transformation. Your clients need strategic guidance.

In this 15-minute episode, TGS CEO, Andrew Menzies explores four major ESG advisory service lines professional services firms could launch or expand right now:

1. Carbon Border Tax Advisory (CBAM) 

Full EU enforcement starting January 2026 means that importers of steel, cement, aluminum, and other carbon-intensive goods face increased compliance obligations. There are opportunities for advisory in three service tiers: compliance (€15K-€35K annually), supply chain carbon auditing (€25K-€75K), and strategic carbon cost management (€40K-€150K).

2. Financed Emissions & Financial Sector Advisory 

Banks, asset managers, and insurers need help implementing PCAF standards and measuring portfolio emissions. 

3. Carbon Capture & Industrial Decarbonization 

Mid-market industrial companies in cement, steel, and chemicals need feasibility studies, decarbonization roadmaps, and carbon credit strategies—creating potentially very profitable multi-year client relationships.

4. Consumer Carbon & Sustainability Strategy 

90% of corporate emissions are Scope 3 (consumer use), some of your clients will need product carbon footprinting, mandatory Scope 3 reporting and sustainable brand positioning to capture market share before ETS2 launches in 2028.

Start with one service line that aligns with your existing client relationships. Build capability, deliver results and xpand from there. The firms that move now will dominate this space in their regions.
