Environmental Sustainability Consultants
Organisations that fail to respond to the growing expectations for action in respect of environmental sustainability risk becoming marginalised, as competitors seek to innovate and enhance their reputations and brand strength.

Our Approach
Developing a Strategy
Our consultants can provide support in identifying the material issues and opportunities that will add value to your organisation and help meet the expectations of stakeholders.
Our services include developing stakeholder engagement processes; determining environmental sustainability expectations and aligning them with the broader business vision, strategy and governance processes; and identifying key areas for operational transformation.
Implementing Environmental Sustainability Programmes
Our Sustainability Consultants will develop a detailed project programme to implement an environmental sustainability strategy. Where required, this can be based on an existing management system (such as an EMS certified to ISO 14001), strengthened as necessary to provide a robust delivery framework.
This stage may include a detailed gap and performance analysis, for example an assessment of supply chain impacts or developing an organisational carbon footprint (our specialists have experience of applying ISO 14064 Part 1, the GHG Protocol and a range of other standards).
Once opportunities for improvement have been established, our environmental specialists will work with you to develop practical initiatives to drive the implementation of the strategy and fulfil stakeholder expectations.
Demonstrating Success
Implementing an environmental sustainability strategy results in internal operating benefits, for example increased efficiencies and reduced vulnerabilities. The outcomes can also enhance reputation and brand strength.
Our Environmental Consultants are experienced in working with organisations to develop reliable and transparent corporate reporting and communications processes that give confidence to stakeholders and form the basis of assurance to various globally-recognised standards and initiatives.
We can support your organisation in developing robust metrics and data processes that can provide internal confidence and external credibility. For example, we can help you develop, implement and report on a greenhouse gas reduction programme that will substantiate claims of working towards or achieving carbon neutrality.
