About Us

Cress Consulting – Uncovering Opportunities for Sustainable Growth

At Cress Consulting, we’re a young and agile team driven by a simple but powerful goal: to help organisations across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific region create a more sustainable future. By combining technical expertise with fresh, forward-thinking, we help clients navigate complex challenges including climate risk, emissions reduction, modern slavery, water stewardship, and ESG reporting.

We work alongside government bodies, industry leaders, and community organisations across diverse geographies—from major cities to small island nations. We believe that understanding the risks of climate change is essential to building a more resilient, sustainable, and profitable future. That’s why we empower our clients with the insights and tools they need to assess risk, inform decision-making, and implement practical solutions that create long-term value for both people and the planet.

Daryl and Alejandra and Sorrell lead Cress Consulting’s strategy and project delivery.

“Innovation is essential – not just in what we do, but in how we engage, collaborate, and deliver real impact. Our clients are operating in a rapidly evolving environment, and expectations around sustainability are shifting just as quickly. For many small island nations and vulnerable communities, sustainability is a critical priority. This perspective shapes our commitment to strong partnerships and clear, contextually relevant action. At Cress, we’re not just here to help organisations simply tick a box, we’re building their capacity to lead in a changing climate and build resilience where it matters most.”
