ESG substance and strategic communications, delivered together
Successful projects need both technical ESG rigour and the ability to communicate performance credibly. We deliver both as a single, integrated offering to leverage the value of early-stage ESG action.
We have extensive project development experience. We understand what developers need and when, we know what investors expect, and we know how to set projects up for success.
Our Mission
Solenne is here to help natural resource project developers and investors to responsibly and efficiently take essential infrastructure projects to financial close and beyond.
Our Founders
Audrey Hackett
Audrey has been on both the implementation and compliance side, and the business and operations side of the ESG table. This dual perspective means she has a deep understanding of how to operationalise ESG best practices and how to engage with compliance entities and funding sources from an operational and financing perspective. As Chief ESG Officer at CWP Global, she was instrumental in maintaining investor confidence and built effective, stage-appropriate strategies across an international portfolio of development projects.
