CIRCULAR DESIGN CONSULTANCY
If time is of the essence and you want an expert answer to the question ‘How do we make our (or those our client’s) products / services / company more sustainable?’ then one-to-one consultancy is the quickest route.

Who is this for? 

• companies that want to speed up their transition to circularity
• companies without in-house resources to develop a roadmap towards circularity for themselves or their clients
• companies wanting an independent assessment of their existing roadmap towards circularity

What does it include? 

Every company is different and so every consultancy package is different. That said it all starts with an initial meeting, which is free if done online. After this initial meeting, we will devise a fully-priced tailored package of services for you to consider. 

CO-ORDINATION SERVICES
You may have a sustainability or circularity strategy that you are struggling to implement successfully. We have a wealth of experience in project management and coordination and can either, take charge of the implementation phase entirely. or set it up for you to take over once momentum has been achieved.

Who is this for? 

• companies with an existing sustainability or circularity strategy without the in-house management resource to implement it
• companies with clients that require support in the implementation of a strategy they developed for them, and do not have the in-house resources to provide

What does it include? 

As with consultancy this depends on the needs of the client, but typically it involves at least one weekly meeting ancillary administration, which can be capped at weekly or monthly total.

DRAFTING OF SUSTAINABILITY / ETHICS POLICY
Having a Sustainability & Ethics Policy on your website or in your tender is becoming essential. Writing one can be daunting when you don’t know where to start.

Who is this for? 

• companies wanting to tell customers about the sustainable actives they already do
• companies wanting an independent assessment of their existing activities with recommendations on how to improve
• companies needed a sustainability & ethics policy to include with tenders

What does it include? 

Provision of a detailed questionnaire with all the information required to create a policy. Drafting of Sustainability & Ethics policy, up to 3 revisions

We can source the data to complete the questionnaire if required. The price for that would be dependant on the scope of the work.

What does it deliver? 

A digital copy of a tailored sustainability & ethics policy
