Sustainability and commercial value don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Unlock the synergies with our cutting-edge approach.
The climate crisis demands transformation in business.
This requires an understanding of how sustainability and value are linked - and yet, most sustainability consultants focus purely on technical solutions, without the data and business case evidence needed to inform decision making and enable financially viable impact.
We integrate commercial value with holistic sustainability to help our clients drive positive environmental and social impact in a way that makes business sense. Driven by measurement and data, our approach doesn’t just set out the technical solution - we also set out the evidence and business case needed to make it happen.
The Problem
Many businesses fail to realise the opportunities that a sustainable approach can provide, from cost savings to increased competitor advantage, new market opportunities to risk mitigation, and enhanced brand reputation to long term resilience.
STRATEGIC ADVISORY
The Solution
We know from experience that the absence of a clear, actionable plan is the number one reason why organisations fail to execute on their sustainability ambitions. Establish where you are, where you want to be, and what is needed to get there:
Assess current sustainability practices and level of maturity;
Define a clear sustainability vision;
Set strategic objectives and make them measurable;
Identify the key enablers and initiatives you require; and
Create an actionable plan to make your vision a reality.
The Problem
Sustainability is multifaceted - it can be abstract, it has diverse contexts, multiple dimensions and is wide-ranging in definition. As a result, framing and measuring sustainability become very complicated.
KPI + FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT
The Solution
We structure sustainability in tangible, measurable, and actionable terms ensuring you have a framework that is tailored to your approach, and drives better outcomes on the ground:
Fully bespoke framework for your projects;
Easily establish key metrics and KPI’s;
Address systemic data issues;
Align objectives with goals and stretch targets;
Establish powerful decision-making mechanisms; and
Create an actionable plan to make your vision a reality.
The Problem
A sophisticated approach to sustainability is meaningless without execution. Yet, many organisations find that their sustainability approach is more likely embedded on a hard drive than it is in daily practice.
That is because execution requires data to spur action and drive decision-making - which isn’t easy, especially during the data-poor phases of planning, design, and construction.
DATA MANAGEMENT
The Solution
Build a comprehensive picture of your projects’ performance no matter what phase they are in, so you can understand what actions and decisions to take:
Measure and report performance;
Identify issues and opportunities;
Assess the business case; and
Focus on team actions.
The Problem
The social, environmental, and financial impacts of property and infrastructure are generally understood in isolation. However, they are very poorly understood in terms of how they connect – and in particular, how various environmental and social outcomes positively and/or negatively influence (and are influenced by) the financial viability of projects.
Decisions taken in isolation have unintended consequences – leading to lost value and impact.
PERFORMANCE OPTIMISATION
The Solution
Identify how to improve targeted sustainability outcomes, and understand how those improvements impact on other objectives so you can leverage synergies, mitigate conflicts, and make clever trade-offs to get the best overall outcome:
Unlock linkages between outcomes;
Mitigate conflicts and manage trade-offs;
Identify and leverage synergies;
Execute AI-based optimisation models; and
Rationalise sustainability investment.
The Problem
Concerned about intensifying climate change, regulatory updates, policy evolution, and market volatility? What works today might not work tomorrow.
Staying ahead of the curve requires relentless improvement, active risk mitigation, horizon scanning, and the use of data at scale.
DATA ANALYTICS + RESEARCH
The Solution
Undertake research and data analytics to provide targeted insights. This will future-proof your business ensuring you maintain your position as an industry leader:
Identify early trends, nascent opportunities and emerging risks;
Mobilise your data by complementing it with the power of ours; and
Rationalise sustainability investment.
