Craig Stenhouse, MSc.

Principal & Founder

With over 20 years of expertise, Craig integrates sustainability strategy into business processes, demonstrates ESG performance to stakeholders, and advises executives and board members on improvement strategies.

Frank McShane, PhD

Principal & Founder

Frank turns sustainability complexity into competitive advantage. With 20+ years in major resource companies, he designs frameworks, assesses material risks, and builds disclosure-ready strategies that withstand regulatory scrutiny and market volatility. He is focused on regulatory compliance, governance, sustainability risk, supply chain due diligence, human rights, forced labour risk, stakeholder relations—capabilities that matter as Canadian businesses navigate trade uncertainty. He has worked predominantly in oil and gas (LNG, pipelines, upstream), and mining (diamonds, base metals, critical minerals) and helped co-author the report that launched the ICMM. He has also designed recognized first-in-class Indigenous rights policies for major energy operators. Frank has experience in overseas conflict zones, taught sustainability related topics at five universities and worked for several major Canadian energy companies. Frank has a PhD from McGill.
