We engage in research and its communication, strategy and policy advice, and educational work, for clients across the world. Our international perspective is complemented by an interdisciplinary approach, integrating insight from divserse theory and practice. When combined with experience of working with public, private and voluntary sectors, this gives us the capacity to understand and engage the complexity of social systems. Fortunately, as a small firm we only choose to engage in projects where we can identity potential for contributing to systemic transformation towards a sustainable and compassionate world. We help clients discover this broader dimension to their work. 

Given  our contacts in the field of corporate responsibility we have also developed wide networks and help recruitment firms understand and reach professionals in this area.

The consulting services we provide companies include:

• ASSESS your company on its situation as a responsible & sustainable enterprise, in comparison to sector and industry-wide best practice and the perception of influential stakeholder groups;
• ADVISE you on what steps to take to increase your social and environmental actions as part of core business strategy and help you embed this in your organisation, from product development and design through to marketing;
• MEASURE the effectiveness of your responsible enterpreneurship;
• TRAIN and educate staff at all levels of your company;
• DEVELOP together an appropriate set of values and code of ethics;
• WRITE responsibility or sustainability reports, including managing processes of issue prioritisation and data generation;
• BROKER engagements and partnerships with leading not-for-profit and international organisations;
