Carnstone has been around in one form or another since 2000, making it one of the first specialist advisors on Corporate Responsibility.
We first came together as a small team within engineering consultancy AEA Technology. Our original brief was to offer board-level insight on the emerging social, environmental and ethical agenda and in particular, its effect on strategy. We’ve been doing that ever since, and indeed some of our long-term clients date back to that period.
The whole team moved to Norwegian risk consultancy Acona in 2002, remaining part of this group until six of us completed a management buy out in April 2011 to create Carnstone Partners Ltd. The Acona environment was entrepreneurial and stimulating, but eventually our paths diverged as the Norwegian part of the group focussed exclusively on providing services to Norway’s booming oil sector.
We’ve grown steadily from a team of six people in the early days at Acona, with numbers of clients and sales rising each year. We’ve been based in Central London since 2004.
In May 2023, Carnstone was acquired by SLR to form part of its ESG Strategic Advisory unit, with Carnstone Director Glynn Roberts taking on the European lead role for this division and Carnstone Founder Simon Hodgson taking on the global Sector Lead role for Industry. Under the SLR umbrella, we gain access to colleagues around the world with technical specialisms and local presence. In June 2024, we officially dropped our Carnstone branding and began operating under SLR.
We are bringing our past with us into this exciting future – continuing to work closely with our clients and provide the same great service we have since 2000. Now we have a larger family of specialist colleagues to do this with.
