About Kintera
-
Who are Kintera?
Kintera is a sustainability consultancy that helps real estate businesses integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices into their operations.
We offer services such as ESG strategy, reporting, and more to guide businesses toward sustainable growth.
-
Can you work with our existing sustainability team?
Absolutely. We seamlessly integrate with internal teams and other consultants, adapting to your preferred working style.
-
How is Kintera different from traditional consultancies?
Traditional consulting often creates dependency by delivering solutions in isolation. At Kintera, we embed our expertise within your team, co-creating strategies that stick. We transfer knowledge and build capability so your business can continue driving sustainability long after we leave.
-
What does “co-creation” mean in practice?
It means we work from your side of the desk. Collaborating closely, understanding your priorities, and designing bespoke sustainability strategies together. We become part of your team, not just an external advisor.
-
Will you manage everything for us?
No. Our goal isn’t to take over. It’s to empower. We guide, support, and share expertise while ensuring your team gains the skills and confidence to lead sustainability initiatives independently.
-
How do you ensure lasting impact?
Through knowledge transfer, horizon scanning, and capability building. When we step away, your organisation retains the tools, insights, and confidence to continue implementing and evolving your sustainability strategy.
-
Who do you work with?
We’re a boutique consultancy serving a select group of clients in real estate and building surveying. Our deep expertise in sustainability and climate risk ensures every engagement is personal and partnership-driven.
-
Can Kintera help us with Sustainability Certifications?
Absolutely. We can guide you through the certification process, whether you’re pursuing a specific ESG framework, such as GRI or certifications like ISO 14001 or B Corp.
ISO 14091

How Can My Company Integrate ISO 14091 into Existing Management Systems?
Integrating ISO 14091 climate risk assessment into your current management systems, such as ISO 14001 Environmental Management, creates a unified approach to managing environmental and climate-related risks. By linking processes across standards, businesses can build synergies that improve efficiency and resilience.
The first step is to identify climate risks and opportunities relevant to your organisation. These should be embedded into existing workflows, ensuring that adaptation measures become part of day-to-day operations rather than standalone projects. Early involvement of all departments is critical to avoid bottlenecks and ensure smooth implementation.
An integrated management system combining ISO 14091 with other standards saves time and resources, supports legal compliance, and strengthens long-term resilience against climate impacts. The result? Greater efficiency, reduced risk, and a clear demonstration of sustainability leadership.

What Data Sources Are Needed for ISO 14091 Climate Risk Analysis and How We Provide Them?
Accurate climate risk assessment under ISO 14091 depends on high-quality, region-specific data. At Kintera, we combine multiple sources to deliver robust, evidence-based analysis:
Climate and Weather Data
Historic and projected climate datasets from trusted providers, including UK Met Office, Copernicus Climate Data Store, and IPCC scenarios.Environmental and Hazard Information
Flood maps, heatwave projections, and storm frequency data from national agencies and local authorities.Socioeconomic and Infrastructure Data
Population density, building typologies, and critical infrastructure exposure from government databases and industry reports.Global Standards and Research
We integrate insights from international organisations such as the World Meteorological Organisation and peer-reviewed climate science.Why it matters:
Data must be current, regionally relevant, and quality-assured to produce realistic vulnerability and impact assessments. Our team handles sourcing, validation, and interpretation so you get actionable insights without the complexity of managing multiple portals or subscriptions. -
How to Gain Leadership Support for ISO 14091 Implementation
Securing leadership buy-in for ISO 14091 climate risk assessment starts with clear alignment to business priorities. At Kintera, we recommend three key steps:
1. Connect Climate Risk to Strategic Goals
Show how ISO 14091 strengthens resilience, supports compliance with frameworks like CSRD, and protects long-term asset value. Position climate risk management as a driver of competitive advantage, not just a regulatory tick-box.2. Make Benefits Tangible
Highlight measurable outcomes, such as reduced risk exposure, cost savings from proactive adaptation, and improved investor confidence. Use real examples and data to demonstrate the financial and reputational upside.3. Communicate and Involve Early
Engage leadership from the outset with open dialogue and clear milestones. Provide regular progress updates and show how climate risk integration complements existing ISO systems like 14001 or 9001. This builds trust and ensures smooth implementation.A well-structured plan backed by transparent reporting turns climate risk management into a strategic asset and secures leadership commitment for the long term.
