M.Aurelius Consulting provides strategic ESG advisory and sustainability consulting across New Zealand, Australia, Europe, and global markets, supporting organizations in translating complex sustainability regulations and investor expectations into actionable strategy and implementation.

Organizations today face rapidly evolving expectations from regulators, investors, financial institutions, and supply chain partners.

For companies in New Zealand and Australia, many of these expectations originate from European sustainability regulations such as CSRD and ESRS, as well as global sustainability reporting frameworks including GRI, TCFD, and emerging climate disclosure standards.

Our work focuses on supporting organizations at the intersection of:

• ESG regulation and sustainability reporting
• climate transition strategy and decarbonisation
• responsible global supply chains
• sustainable finance and investor expectations

By aligning sustainability strategy with governance structures, operational systems, and financial decision-making, we support organizations in moving from compliance to strategic advantage.

We work both as strategic advisors and in embedded or project-based roles with organizations and investment teams.
Available for strategic advisory, project-based, and in-house ESG roles across Australia and international markets.
