Being a great company, in great company /
We stand alongside people and organisations who we’ve looked up to and admired from large brands and companies such as Finisterre, and Patagonia to smaller industry experts Ecosurety and 3Keel, to emerging new players who can radically improve environmental and social impacts – such as Bulb and Matchable. Our ambition as part of this impressive cohort is to grow our impacts by helping companies implement bigger, better, more circular business models. We know the sustainability benefits these models bring and the commercial improvements they deliver too.
Scores on the doors /
We will always be transparent about our performance. Our first assessment just cleared the pass mark at 81.2: our challenges were completing a robust assessment when we don’t qualify for certain categories (for example, we have no employees) and to formalise our mission and business KPIs in such a small company.
Where we performed well – Community and Customers /
Across the board, our project for clients consistently deliver better environmental outcomes with absolute reductions in resource use and greenhouse gas emissions driven by circular business models. We enabled HS1 Ltd, the UK’s only high-speed railway, to set an industry-leading sustainability strategy and roadmap to become the UK first railway to run entirely on renewable energy. We have enabled circular clothing platforms to save 500 tonnes CO2e in 2020. All our partners freely give time for community benefit, from volunteering to mentoring emerging businesses, and being part of industry initiatives. But we have never quantified this – and we surprised ourselves by reaching 7% of our time contributing to our local and business communities.
Where we need to improve – Governance and Environment /
Which is why we created this new website!
Ironically, we help our clients reduce their impacts by vast amounts, but score low on our business’s environmental footprint because we are all home-based workers and can’t directly measure and demonstrate our Scope 1 and 2 emissions. However, we practice good environmental stewardship in our virtual offices – we are green through and through including signed up to low carbon electricity; actively managing our resources at home; and adopting circular business models from recommerce to shared mobility services.
B the change you want to see: what will we do in 2023? /
We have set out an action plan to increase our score so we will:
- aim for a QSA KPI of delivering 10,000 tonnes of CO2e savings in 2022-23
- donate 2% of our annual income to charity
- track the diversity of our new suppliers
- set up a customer feedback process to determine the measured impacts of our work
- grow to sign up 5 new clients
- buy local for the majority of our goods and services
- measure the impacts of our office time and business travel
