Our clients spend money on environmental sustainability – there is no getting away from that. They also acknowledge that some of this outlay is required for compliance purposes anyway. The rest, when spent wisely, more than pays itself back through greater resource efficiency, lower bills, more business and a better reputation.

Our clients would say that they have benefited from revisiting environmental sustainability, not treating it as eco-irrelevance, but as part and parcel of competitive advantage.


Define environmental sustainability as competitive advantage

Our clients are manufacturing or service business determined to make environmental sustainability a core business issue. They may see commercial opportunities in the ‘clean tech’ or ‘clean energy’ sectors, but are not sure how to proceed. Great Circle principal Dr Michael Groves brings a unique perspective to these tasks. He has twenty years experience of environmental policy, international forest certification, sustainability reporting, but has also co-founded a company that makes consumer products and sells through retailers in more than 40 countries worldwide.

Environmental sustainability data and reporting

The basic challenge of identifying and marshalling data is the first step on from placing environmental sustainability front and centre. There may also be audit reports with excellent advice and recommendations and unanswered questionnaires from existing and potential customers. We can help you get a grip on all this information, but more importantly we can provide you with a vehicle that will turn this into credible reports for the Board, for customers, investors, communities or other interested parties.
