Driving sustainable growth: Wylde Connections guides businesses to ESG success

Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to welcome Wylde Connections as a new member.

Warwickshire-based, Wylde is a familyfounded sustainability consultancy and learning organisation that is driving transformative change in businesses for the benefit of people, planet and prosperity.

2024 has marked major milestones for the consultancy as it scales up its support services to help clients embed environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles throughout their organisation. From recruiting new talent to enhancing its learning and consultancy solutions, the business is on an impressive growth trajectory. Founded by mother and daughter team Denise and Charlotte Taylor, Wylde helps clients navigate an ever-shifting landscape and respond to increasing pressure from regulators, customers and supply chains to embrace sustainable practices.

Over the past 12 months, Wylde has expanded to support a growing portfolio of clients. The company has continued to refine its five-step sustainable business model, designed to develop and implement effective sustainability strategies. These services not only assist businesses in meeting compliance requirements but also position them to demonstrate their ESG credentials, unlocking contract potential for competitive advantage.

To complement its expanding learning offer, Wylde has become an accredited training centre for the internationally renowned Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA). Its team of specialist trainers now delivers highly sought-after qualifications like the IEMA Certificate in Environmental Management (PIEMA).

“Becoming an IEMA-accredited training centre has been a significant step for us,” said Wylde MD Dr Denise Taylor.

“We are training the next generation of sustainability practitioners with internationally recognised certification and equipping businesses with the knowledge and skills they need to meet their ESG objectives and win new business opportunities.”

As Wylde Connections looks to the future, it has also launched its new Enveglas ESG Assessment Tool. This diagnostic tool is designed to help companies identify their current position on the sustainability journey and outline the steps needed to achieve compliance with both existing and upcoming legislation. By leveraging this tool, companies can take practical steps towards turning compliance into a competitive advantage, positioning themselves as leaders in sustainable business practices while unlocking contract potential.

“It’s a proud moment for everyone at the firm and fantastic that it comes in what is already a landmark year for the business.

“To see four of our fellow members at DFK also named on the list is excellent and highlights the strength and expertise we have in the alliance.

“We will seek to build on this success in the years to come as we continue to expand our offer and team at HB&O.”

Dr Taylor added: “We have built our reputation on delivering bespoke consultancy services, advanced digital tools, and comprehensive training support. 2025 will prove pivotal as companies address critical challenges such as climate adaptation, biodiversity loss, carbon reduction and compliance with sustainability reporting standards. We are calling on Coventry and Warwickshire businesses to get ahead of the game and make this a year of transformation.”
