My largest client asked me to do an EcoVadis assessment of my sustainability practices. Given my limited experience in formal CSR practices and my lack of time to manage this project, I realized that I needed help from a trusted expert in CSR. I turned to Hedgehog, and their work laid the groundwork for improvement in my business. Rory conducted a comprehensive analysis of our existing practices, identified strengths and gaps, and diligently documented procedures. This enabled us to have a clear roadmap for improvement. Most importantly, she managed this project from start to finish, which was a big relief.

Rory’s expertise and support were invaluable. She went the extra mile by doing a deep dive to understand the intricacies of the assessment, which enabled us to set priorities. Hedgehog scheduled strategic weekly meetings, assigned tasks to the small team, and managed the timeline brilliantly. Rory was a lifesaver. I will hire her again for phase 2 to implement the key procedures that will make my company a stronger and more sustainable organization. I highly recommend Hedgehog Consulting and Rory to any business seeking assistance with sustainability assessments or CSR practices. Their professionalism, knowledge, and commitment make them an outstanding business partner. They made a very positive impact on our organization.

These coaching sessions with Rory have been invaluable to me as they have gotten me to take a look at things from different perspectives and to think in ways that affect more positive outcomes.

We’ve had great deep insightful discussions. I’m now finding myself able to stop before I react and take a moment to think things out before going down a path that in the past has proven not to have been the best approach. I’m taking away so many things from these sessions that are helping me to continue to grow and add more tools to my “batwoman utility belt” – thank you for your coaching and guidance.
— Deborah O., Director, Americas Global Support, HPE
I was frustrated and exhausted in my former job. I always wanted what was best for the organization and our City but felt blocked and unappreciated by a contrary supervisor.

Coaching nudged me in all the right ways. We clarified my priorities and the best path forward and worked on finding my perfect fit position. Coaching with Rory keeps me galvanized to recognize the changes I need in my work and life.
