Go-to support for sustainability project delivery
For project advisory and hands-on management support
Sustainability is a complex and dynamic business. Delivering initiatives takes work and at times you may need an extra pair of hands. It might be that you need the expert advice of a sustainability professional, or on-the-ground project management support to push an initiative forward and over the line. It could be to help with a busy reporting period or to bridge a personnel gap for the short or medium-term.
Whatever kind of support you require, from planning to communication and engagement to implementation, measurement, reporting and beyond, our practitioners are ready with the expertise you need to get the job done and deliver meaningful outcomes for your organisation.

How we provide support for your sustainability projects
Identify sustainability risks and opportunities for your new project, event or business
Identifying your risks and opportunities is key to responsible business practice. Our practitioners have a sound understanding and a methodical approach to identifying both having provided risk and internal audit services for government and multinationals.
We can conduct a risk workshop with internal stakeholders to identify and prioritise sustainability as well as a range of other risks. Or we can workshop and identify the material issues to report on with both internal and external stakeholders. We’ll help you be prepared as you grow your business or launch your new project.
Develop a clear vision and overarching strategies or initiatives
Businesses approach sustainability in different ways because they have different reasons for starting their sustainability journey. This could be anything from angry shareholders at an AGM to engaged staff members who see the opportunity to integrate sustainability initiatives into new products and services. Wherever you are on your journey and whatever the reason you got started, we can help.
A responsible business is clear and exact about the positive impacts it’s trying to achieve. Our practitioners help you set a clear sustainability vision whether you want to design an overarching strategy for a new business, review a strategy that isn’t guiding decisions as intended, or anything in between. Whatever your initiative, we’ll make sure it’s strategic, impactful and built to deliver positive results.
Conduct benchmarking to inform initiative development
You want your sustainability programs to make an impact. Whether it’s an existing program that’s tired and underachieving or a new program you hope will create positive change in your sector, you need to invest time and money wisely to get the outcomes you want.
What does best practice look like in your sector? What are others doing and doing well? Our practitioners have worked across geographies and sectors and can share their perspective on the implementations of successful businesses and how they’re leading the way. We keep abreast of new developments, research avidly and use a methodical approach to benchmarking, so you can trust you’ll have up-to-the-minute insights at your fingertips.
Project management
As a sustainability manager, environment officer or business owner you have big ideas but multiple demands on your time. Multiple project management tasks make it challenging to ensure all of your proactive initiatives, reporting obligations and stakeholder activities are on track and within budget. We can help.
We can work in-house or remotely on tasks such as project scheduling, contract management, communication and engagement with internal and external stakeholders, milestone and budget tracking, and impact reporting. This way you can invest your energies elsewhere while feeling confident that all your projects are on track.
