Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Statement

Introduction and Purpose

EvettField Partners is a strategy, research, and digital consulting firm working with mid-sized B2B organisations across Australia and New Zealand. We believe that responsible business is not separate from commercial performance. It is foundational to long-term value creation for our clients, our people, and the communities we serve. 

This ESG statement outlines how we approach environmental responsibility, social impact, and governance in a way that is practical, proportionate, and aligned with the realities of a professional services business. 

Our Values and Ethical Framework

EvettField operates with a strong emphasis on professional integrity, evidence-based advice, and long-term thinking. Our work is guided by clear ethical principles: 

• Acting in the best interests of our clients while maintaining independence of advice 
• Providing honest, data-led recommendations, even when they challenge assumptions 
• Operating transparently in pricing, scope, and expectations 
• Respecting confidentiality, intellectual property, and sensitive commercial information 

We do not engage in work that we believe is misleading, exploitative, or misaligned with our values, and we reserve the right to decline engagements that do not meet these standards. 

People and Culture

Our people are central to our success. EvettField is committed to building a workplace that is respectful, flexible, and supportive of individual wellbeing and professional growth. 

Key principles include: 

• Flexible working arrangements that recognise personal and family commitments 
• A culture of trust, autonomy, and accountability rather than presenteeism 
• Commitment to equal opportunity and inclusive behaviour across all roles 
• Ongoing professional development through client exposure, mentoring, and learning 

As a small, specialist firm, we prioritise sustainable workloads and realistic expectations, recognising that high-quality thinking requires time, focus, and balance. 

Client Responsibility and Impact

EvettField works primarily with owner-led and mid-sized businesses, many of which operate in manufacturing, engineering, construction, and industrial sectors. 

Our responsibility to clients includes: 

• Providing advice that is commercially sound, ethical, and grounded in evidence 
• Helping clients make better long-term decisions, not just short-term marketing gains 
• Designing strategies and campaigns that are truthful, compliant, and protect brand integrity and legacy 
• Ensuring data privacy, platform security, and responsible use of customer information 

We measure success not only by leads or revenue generated, but by whether our work improves clarity, decision-making, and resilience for our clients.

Community Engagement and Social Impact

EvettField believes in contributing to the broader business and professional community, particularly small and medium enterprises that form the backbone of the Australian and New Zealand economies. 

Our contribution includes: 

• Pro bono and reduced-fee advisory support where appropriate 
• Mentoring founders, marketers, and emerging professionals 
• Sharing practical insights through articles, podcasts, and public forums 
• Supporting awards programs and industry associations 

Where possible, we prioritise work that strengthens local capability and helps businesses become more sustainable and competitive. 

Environmental Responsibility

As a consulting business, our direct environmental footprint is modest, but we recognise our responsibility to operate thoughtfully and minimise unnecessary impact. 

Our approach includes: 

• Remote-first and hybrid work practices to reduce travel-related emissions 
• Responsible travel decisions where in-person engagement is required 
• Digital-first delivery to reduce paper use and physical waste 
• Preference for suppliers and partners who demonstrate sustainable practices 

We continuously review how we can operate more efficiently and responsibly without compromising service quality. 

Governance and Risk Management

EvettField maintains clear governance structures appropriate to the size and nature of the business. 

This includes: 

• Clear decision-making accountability at partner level 
• Active management of financial, operational, and reputational risk 
• Regular review of client concentration, scope creep, and delivery risk 
• Clear processes for managing conflicts of interest 

We believe good governance is not about bureaucracy, but about clarity, discipline, and consistency. 

Supplier and Partner Responsibility

We work with a network of specialist suppliers, contractors, and partners across research, digital, content, and technology. 

Our expectations include: 

• Ethical and professional conduct 
• Fair and transparent commercial arrangements 
• Respectful working relationships 
• Alignment with our values around integrity, confidentiality, and quality 

Where possible, we prioritise local and independent suppliers who contribute to the broader professional ecosystem. 

Measurement, Review and Continuous Improvement

As a growing professional services firm, our ESG approach continues to evolve. While we do not currently publish formal ESG metrics, we are committed to: 

• Reviewing our practices annually 
• Identifying practical improvements in how we work and operate 
• Responding to client, partner, and team feedback 
• Aligning our ESG approach with client and market expectations over time

We favour meaningful progress over superficial reporting. 

Looking Ahead

EvettField Partners recognises that expectations around ESG will continue to increase. Our focus is on building a business that is: 

• Commercially resilient 
• Ethically grounded 
• People-centric 
• Trusted by clients and partners 

We view ESG not as a compliance exercise, but as part of how we build a firm that endures.
