Strategy and Transformation
We are your strategy partners for developing roadmaps and centering sustainability at the core of your organization.
Our deep maritime industry insight means we can help organizations move beyond fragmented initiatives toward a fully integrated sustainability strategy.
Our approach connects commercial priorities with environmental and societal factors, mitigating risk and ensuring that sustainability fosters long term resilience for your organization.
Integrated sustainability strategy
-
We lead organisations through a process of mapping sustainability risk and opportunity, aligned to their individual context.
Our strategic roadmaps are tailored goal-based timelines, that structure implementation across your organisation.
-
We support organisations in evaluating the strength and coherence of their sustainability strategy. Our evaluation includes critical commentary on your sustainability intent and on your contribution for sector wide sustainability.
By exploring how sustainability related risk changes through time, we also stress test your strategy's long-term resilience.
-
We offer structured sparring to challenge the understanding of sustainability risks faced by your organisation.
These sessions are designed to broaden perspectives, bring scientific rigour, and redefine the role of sustainability within your strategy.

Maritime Directorship: Two years supporting Ammonia Energy (AEA)
Context
As the maritime industry explores pathways toward decarbonisation, ammonia has emerged as one of the potential future fuel candidates for shipping. Recognising the growing importance of maritime ammonia, the AEA engaged us as an independent maritime advisor to help connect them with the shipping industry as future collaborators.
Solution
Through two and half years of collaboration, we delivered a broad set of competencies:
Strategic development
Maritime ammonia informative article writing
Development and presentation of maritime ammonia informative webinars
Maritime workshop design & facilitation and speaking at AEA conferences
Conference speaking representation internationally
Research and analysis- Global maritime ammonia projects
General representation of the AEA to the maritime industry, including speaking at the International Maritime Organisation
2021
Context
E&S Tankers, a Chemical Tanker company and a joint venture between Essberger and Stolt, reached out to us in 2021 to get some help with sustainability. They wanted to differentiate through sustainability, and explored together with us what such opportunity could look like.
Solution
We delivered a strategic roadmap with a long list of initiatives which included five main sectors; Ocean Health, Energy & Climate, Circular Economy & Green Finance, and People & Community.
Through the engagement with us, they also explored options in the wind-assist market, as we undertook an RFP process for windship technologies, on their behalf.
One key investment following our project, was the employment of a Sustainability Lead.
“FMA have been a crucial part of starting our ESG journey and have been a strong partner for us in navigating new waters”

Sustainability roadmap for ‘The North Standard’
Context
The NorthStandard, one of the world’s leading P&I Clubs, needed support to differentiate through a focused sustainability approach that placed sustainability more strategically within the organisation.
They acknowledged the challenge in managing the complexity of maritime sustainability, where there are many regulatory uncertainties and interested stakeholders.
Solution
As a marine mutual, NorthStandard is owned by its members, and thus this project required us to manage a great wealth of varying stakeholder expectations.
We delivered a holistic sustainability roadmap with a long list of prioritised projects and a sustainability report, outlining their sustainability ambition for impact.
