Our

Story

SGP was founded by four former investors who saw that companies needed expert advice on the ESG issues relevant to their long-term success. We established SGP in early 2020, on the eve of a global pandemic that would solidify these ESG imperatives but would also shape an altogether new set of expectations.

Since that time, the firm has taken on clients from all sectors, market caps, and stages of maturity. We’ve helped boards and management teams tackle ESG strategy, build better investor engagement programs, optimize success at their annual meetings, enhance their public disclosure, stave off activists, and future proof their businesses. We look forward to learning about how we can help you create a more sustainable, resilient business and build lasting relationships with your key investors.
