In the field of climate change we aim to:

• Join up your technical and behavioural initiatives
• Help you define, align your team on, and implement your climate change strategy
  We apply our holistic approach and our experience in organisational change to ensure that your people are fully engaged with, and their behaviour is aligned to, your intent to reduce emissions. Any new investments in technology or refurbishments to reduce emissions, increase efficiency or use renewables will be limited unless the human dimension is well managed.
  
• Mitigate reputational and legal risk

We do this by supporting our clients to:

• Build a business case. We work with clients to generate understanding and knowledge in their organisation with regard to the business, legal and ethical case for climate change initiatives.
• Initiate and manage change. Frequently the person leading the sustainable development agenda is a ‘lone voice’, limited budget, and/or little direct organisational authority. They are also frequently technical experts (in environmental sciences, finance, HR, engineering, marketing, etc.) but lack change agency skills and techniques (stakeholder mapping, influencing, consulting skills, etc.). We work with them to build those capacities and build a groundswell of support for change in their organisation – regardless of their present circumstances.
• Develop and run low-investment, high-yield projects. Our experience is that behavioural change initiatives are comparatively low cost and high return. We seek to generate quick wins, which have a very high symbolic value and communicate to the wider organisation that the business is committed and moving forward. This generates additional support and lowers resistance in the organisation. It proves the business case to senior management and leads to further conversations about ‘what comes next’, after the easy steps have been taken.
• Overcome internal resistance from executives or line. Most business leaders agree in principle with the idea of making their business more sustainable, but are sceptical that it won’t generate a return. We work with the person leading the sustainable development agenda to propose strategies that support the value chain of the business, and coach them on their internal influencing tactics to get those strategies approved.
