Learn about our purpose and our background, get to know our team of passionate sustainability experts, and find out about our policies.

Our purpose

We promote a more sustainable way of living and working in order to protect the planet and its resources for the benefit of society, now and in the future.

We are founded on collaboration, sharing our expertise and knowledge. But our goal is not change. It is transformation.

Our vision is a fair, green economy that operates within planetary boundaries.

We've adopted the Sustainable Development Goals as our overarching framework for change. With a growing team of passionate experts, we offer a range of sustainability solutions designed to help organisations reach their sustainability goals - from policy and strategy development to training, benchmarking and reporting.


The values that underpin our purpose

We have worked with our team and board to examine what is important to us and define our four values:

Trusted

Professional, confident experts and we hold ourselves to account.

Passionate

Committed to sustainability and stand by our beliefs.

Collaborative

Work with others on shared goals.

Fair

Committed to justice, respect and equality for all.

These values underline the way that we work and what's important to us as an organisation. They will be brought alive by our people, guiding how we conduct ourselves and how we do business.
