Welcome to Synergy
Global Consulting
Synergy Global Consulting (Synergy) supports the Social Performance of business, to achieve positive outcomes and lasting legacies.
Investing in challenging contexts requires high levels of due diligence, risk management and social accountability together with new approaches to engaging with stakeholders, resolving disputes and creating a positive impact on socio-economic development.
Existing, new and future social, economic and governance dynamics present significant challenges and opportunities to the role of business at global, national and local levels. Synergy has a solid 23-year reputation in partnering with its clients, helping them to navigate tough situations that present risks to both business and society. At home in the boardroom and in the community, our work impacts strategy, policies, implementation and outcomes from investments and initiatives, in societies in transformation, often in conflict and post-conflict situations.
