Case Study | Energy Sector

Colibri provided bespoke ESG and impact services for a leading international energy company working in the Caribbean.  The client required strategic consulting on its CSR approach to an emerging Caribbean jurisdiction in which it operates.  From our bespoke political risk and market insight reports, the client had become aware of both competitive activities and the increasing local scrutiny of the highly politicised sector. 

Our client was able to better integrate ESG criteria into its operations and to improve its overall CSR programme.  Utilising our local specialists, we arranged interviews with professionals from different sectors who had both personal and professional awareness of the country’s particular needs.  This valuable insight provided the client with local perspectives on existing CSR initiatives and priorities.  Highlighting both the successfully and poorly executed local content and integrated infrastructure initiatives.   

Colibri Provided: Strategic consultancy and advice, bespoke market intelligence, in-country field research, interviews, impact measuring, charitable opportunities, analysis and reporting.
