This will allow you to implement best practices under the three pillars of sustainability.

How?
Sustainability Audit

Waste Audit
Our experienced sustainability consultant will evaluate and analyse your current waste management processes and provide recommendations on where operational efficiencies, cost savings and where improved environmental performance can be achieved. We are not a waste broker, so we do more than just look at your waste and place a cost on it, we provide you with an in-depth report which is an independent non partial opinion.

There is a plethora of legislation, targets, consumer campaigns and industry initiatives which can make it difficult to define a strategic approach to sustainability and implement change. Our independent gap analysis can help business integrate sustainability into their products and operations and make improvements to reduce the impacts on the environment.

Every business will find these useful in assisting with benchmarking sustainable performance whilst also preparing for future legislative requirements and potential risks and opportunities that these factors may present.
Life Cycle Assessment LCA
A LCA is a “cradle to the grave” analysis which makes it possible to identify and quantify the flows of energy and material used in every stage of the lifecycle of a product or service and make conclusions based on comparing the results. with the objectives that drove the LCA.
Our (LCA) is based around the ISO14040 benchmark used to assess the environmental impacts of a product or material from its origin through to disposal.
Legal Compliance
How do you review, manage, and demonstrate compliance with environmental legislation? Any business, regardless of whether they hold an externally certificated environmental management system, have a legal responsibility to know what legislation is applicable to them and the activities that they undertake.
We understand it can be challenging to keep up to date with environmental legal requirements and the various changes that take place. We can provide a simple solution to enable you to keep up to date, through our legislative updates where we periodically update and maintain your register of environmental legislation.
Myths
Myth: Carbon offsetting is the answer
Carbon offsetting is when the emissions you create are balanced by the initiatives you support which absorb the equivalent of your emissions. You may have seen companies say that they have a goal to reach net-zero carbon or become carbon neutral. This usually means that they are funding renewable energy.
However, it does not solve the issue that the company funding renewable energy is still producing emissions. This is a form of greenwashing and does not actually contribute to the global problem.
Myth: Sustainability is equal to recycling
Recycling is an important component of sustainability work, but it’s only a part of the story. A greater consideration is the long-term protection of the raw material.
In many cases, recycling may act as a plaster, but the real solution is designing out, reducing or reusing our waste.
