Choose us. Get chosen.

From small businesses to large multinationals, clients across Australia choose Sustainable Business Matters as their sustainability consultancy for lots of reasons.

Ultimately though, it boils down to this – choosing us increases your chances of being chosen by your clients.

Here’s why.

#1: WE'RE EXPERIENCED SPECIALISTS

We’ve been operating in the sustainability space since 2006, specialising in building and product manufacturing, so we know environmental sustainability, labour rights, and the marketplace inside out.

In short, we know what you need, what your clients expect, and how to achieve it.

#2: WE’RE FOR VALUES-DRIVEN COMPANIES

Discover how publicly declaring your values helps you find other like minded people. When your clients share the same values, they’ll know they’ve found the ONE for them.

In other words, being a values-driven company can boost affinity for your business.

We want to meet you if you’re:

  • passionate about sustainability and improving human rights

  • committed to improvement, and willing to do a deep dive into your supply chain 

  • an owner/director who is 100% in… and sees the value in going through the process with a professional

  • engaging with your staff about the importance of tackling modern slavery

  • proud to be working for a values-based organisation 

  • reporting/communicating the work you’re doing to your stakeholders

  • prepared to acknowledge, address and remediate human right abuses and labour exploitation

#3: WE START WHERE YOU ARE

That means you can be a big business, or small. 

You can be based in Sydney, or anywhere in Australia and New Zealand.

You can be starting out on your sustainability journey, or looking to take the next step. 

We don’t assume any prior knowledge about these complex topics, so our Modern Slavery consultancy starts with a training phase for your team to understand the basics. Then we dive in and work with your suppliers and give it 100% of our efforts.

#4: WE MAKE THINGS EASY

Tackling modern slavery is complex. Building social responsibility best practice into your business is hard. But we can guide you through the process and take care of all the details for you.

#5: WE HAVE OUR FINGER ON THE PULSE

As a member of the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) and a Green Star Associate, we’re up to date with all the latest industry developments and requirements. 

#6: WE TAKE CONFUSION AND DOUBT OUT OF THE EQUATION

With industry expectations and compliance standards changing all the time, it can be hard to keep up with best practice and implement it throughout your business so that it boosts your performance, profile and bottom line. 

But that’s why we’re here. 

We’re across all the latest developments, so you can concentrate on business with complete peace of mind.

#7: WE'RE EVERYWHERE YOU NEED US TO BE

We work remotely via Zoom consultations anywhere you are in Australia or New Zealand. 

In-person training and site visits are available in the Sydney area, by request.


Addressing Modern Slavery Action Plan –is amazing. I just have to give you some feedback on how wonderful it has been to work with you. Energy, passion and gusto from you are a given.
But it’s the way you have structured information post-training that has also really stood out. I was a little anxious at working through the information, but you have made it so easy to follow with your summaries. I’ve been able to quickly pull everything together that I need to - which is quite something at this incredibly busy time of year. Thanks Libby
