Strategy & Policy Advisory

Creating strategies for climate, nature, and social impact ambitions

Effective impact starts with smart strategy and clear, compliant objectives. At Purple Otter, we excel at developing and enhancing climate- and nature-integrated strategies for organisations focused on grant-making, impact investing, and positive change. Our advisory draws on years of experience with diverse clients — from foundations and investors to NGOs and public sector bodies.

Strategy Development for Grant-Makers & Impact Investors

We are experts in shaping or refining strategies for organisations seeking to deliver measurable environmental and social change. Whether you are funding nature restoration, community projects, or blended initiatives, we clarify the theory of change, set robust objectives, and map how activities translate into meaningful outcomes.

Outcomes Planning & Impact Transparency

We design strategies grounded in logic models and outcomes frameworks: mapping the links from inputs through activities to outputs, outcomes, and impact. Our approach emphasises transparency, so your stakeholders and funders can clearly see where and how impact is created.

KPI Design & Impact Monitoring

We help you select and design effective key performance indicators (KPIs) for both environmental and social dimensions. Our support includes setting up impact monitoring systems, reporting cycles, and clear dashboards — aligning with best practices and global standards (e.g. TNFD, SDGs, ESG).

Regulation, Policy Alignment & Compliance

We stay ahead of evolving regulations and policies — from the TNFD and EU Nature Restoration Law to ESG reporting frameworks — and ensure your organisation is ready and aligned. Our guidance helps you anticipate and navigate compliance for funders, investors, and regulators.

Multi-Dimensional Strategy

Our experience covers nature, climate, and social impact, drawing on cross-cutting trends and evidence. We work closely with your team to ensure strategies are actionable, realistic, and tailored to your operating context.
