"To know the good is to do the good"

- Socrates

People will do the right thing once they fully know what that is. In other words, it's a question of education. That's what we're here for. Our training, tools, resources and forums are designed to inspire, motivate and encourage positive change.

Advocacy

We engage policymakers at a local and national level and challenge them to embed climate and sustainability considerations into government policies and plans. We share our policy stances with our partners, to foster greater transparency and collaboration.

Support

We offer advice and support to organisations looking to become more sustainable including bespoke strategy development. We can also offer support to companies thinking about, preparing for or going through the B Corp certification process.
