ABOUT US
We are consultants because we enjoy working with clients, we love solving problems and we still believe in continuous improvement toward achieving the sustainability goals that companies and teams set for themselves. We bring a great deal of experience to the art of translating strategy into actually achievable goals and to improving the resource allocation system so that resources flow to areas of greatest impact.
We bring decades of experience in clean-tech, high-tech and financial institutions to bear on your problems. We have deep knowledge of tools and methodologies ranging from net-zero strategy development and science-based targets to the balanced scorecard, corporate performance management, beyond budgeting and other process improvement methods.
We serve all sorts of entities ranging from the private sector to governmental groups to non-profit organizations. For companies both large and small, we can help you progress on your sustainability journey or work with an individual business unit to improve against key performance indicators.
For government groups and quangos, we have a huge respect for the entities that are responsible for sorting out the common good portion of sustainability and resilience. We realize that you struggle with resource constraints while being on the receiving end of many of the expectations around progress on climate goals. We have experience helping you get a better handle on strategy execution.
For Non-Profits, we honor your passion for making strides in this vital area under constraints of all sorts and would be delighted to leverage our experience in the non-profit world to support you in achieving your mission.
