Sustainable Systems believes that those who acknowledge environmental concerns early and who meet this awareness with a proactive response will be the leaders of the next decades. Those who quickly grasp the inevitable changes and demands already taking place have the best chance of protecting and developing their own enterprises, while meeting the expectations of an increasingly aware population.

SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS are systems that are sustainable - the way to the future

Sustainable Systems Limited is a business committed to raising awareness of local and international concerns regarding environmental deterioration. A second part of this commitment is to assist businesses, professions, communities and groups by providing information and, through a consultative process, building policies and strategies that protect and develop both their own and the environment’s interests.

WORKSHOPS AND CONSULTANCY

We offer a variety of workshops, adapting content, format and process to suit the needs of the client.

Method: Sustainable Systems bases its service on a 4-step process:

listens to and grasps client’s situation, needs and dilemmas
provides information, education, resourcing and process as appropriate to need
reflects with client on the implications of this information, moving towards a policy and action plan
facilitates different ways of thinking and acting that bring personal, organisational and environmental well-being together

The method does not consist in telling clients how to think or what to do. Rather, it works alongside clients in a sharing of knowledge and experience, drawing out the client’s own expertise, and together finding ways to success that protect and sustain the environment.

Sustainable Systems is committed to you having the best service. Included in this goal for excellence is an emphasis on networking. Sustainable Systems is happy to advise clients of alternative expertise.

Free consultancy is available to discuss need and a suitable programme.
