How we help

A transition into sustainability doesn’t need to be a daunting one. In fact the process of transformation is in many ways similar to other challenges that have faced business in the past, whether it be through digital transformation or quality control. We have extensive experience of working with clients across multiple sectors to drive positive and profitable change. We simply take this experience and apply it to our knowledge and passion within the field of sustainability to deliver winning AND sustainable business solutions fit for the future. Our core services broadly fit into the following headings. However, as a starting point we offer a free diagnostic exercise to help focus direction and work out key objectives and suggest the best ways we can support.

Strategic Mission, Vision & Values

Understanding where you are currently and where you want to get to. Helping you (re)define your key sustainability drivers and what these might mean to your profitability, your customers and other stakeholders. Helping you articulate this into a compelling, coherent and tangible overarching message to take to the market. Key at this point is the process of involving all your key stakeholders, especially employees to bring them along the new exciting transformative journey.

Proposition Development

Shaping your sustainability strategy into your existing product and service lines as well as explore new ones. Helping you articulate your sustainable approach into compelling, honest and transparent messaging to the market that genuinely communicates your purpose that creates a positive market differentiator. This may lead to tough self-analysis and conversations with stakeholders as to what changes are needed to the existing business model. But we're here to help resolve as you move to a more sustainable approach.

Value Chain

Changes to your business will inevitably impact your suppliers as well as your wider value chain. We help you review your suppliers list and work with them to bring them on board and along the same journey. Price and Cost control pays a key part here. Having a new sustainable approach does not necessarily mean adding in additional costs - in fact in many cases quite the opposite. The relationship between cost and value is critical and will be key to your proposition as it evolves.

Data & Compliance

There is an ever-increasingly vast array of standards and climate disclosure protocols, both compulsory and voluntary. Some are already statutory requirements, others are 'nice to haves' that demonstrate a genuine commitment to sustainable business. Help is on hand to navigate these according to your types of service and/or products on offer. Furthermore our data expertise helps your ensure you have robust reporting measures which not only cover today but what is to come in the future. .

Partners & Collaborations

Embarking on a new positive direction for your business can seem like a daunting and possibly risky process. There are a lot of unknowns out there. Much of this may be unchartered territory. No-one has all the answers in terms of the best way of transitioning to a new economy. Effective sharing and collaboration is key. Through our network of contacts we can put you in touch with like-minded organisations to help drive positive change with a commercial edge.

Competitor Landscape

Helping you to articulate your new proposition differentiators from your competitors. What is new that makes you different yet not loosing sight of your existing differentiators and how they seamlessly integrate as well as creating a newly defined separation from your competition. We also offer benchmarking and tracking of your competitors to see where they are on their sustainability journey.

Business Development

OK, so you now have your new way of doing sustainable business charted out and your operations aligned. We now need to go out and win new business. We can help either by working closely with your existing business development teams, helping them articulate your new sales differentiators or bring in new experts to help you drive forward and win new sales.

Tendering

Depending on your tendering processes, protracted and formal or otherwise, we can help construct your tender responses and ensure your new key sales differentiators light up your tenders differentiating you from your competitors.
