We have one way of working. Your way.
How do we work? In a word, flexibly. At Sustainable Business Matters, we tailor our environmental and social responsibility consulting, training and certification services to suit your requirements, whether you’re a small business or multinational corporation.
You set the objectives, we’ll help you get there.
Wherever you are on your environmental and social responsibility journey, we can help you take the next step. And the next. More than that, we’ll do it all at your pace, which means:
- You define the goals.
You might need environmental certification for a product, or your entire business. You might need a new environmental management system, or need to take your old EMS to the next level. Contact us to discuss your business goals and develop a plan of action. - You define the timeframe.
Maybe you have a pressing deadline for environmental or social responsibility certification A product launch. A clients request to meet their Vendors Code of Conduct for Sustainability. Or perhaps you have a long-term objective to implementing best practice across your business. Whatever the case, we’ll work with you to make it happen. - You define the budget and level of support.
Whether you need support for your internal environmental and social resources, or you need a partner who will run with the sustainability ball, we’ll work within your resourcing and budgetary framework. Talk to us about the options, from a one-off consultation or ad-hoc support, to an ongoing contract.

OUR APPROACH
We're a small consultancy, so we have the flexibility to work whichever way best suits your business. Here are a few options as to how we are currently servicing our clients.
One-off consultation - you may want help with your sustainability strategy, support with understanding Green Star or Ecolabelling requirements, or assistance telling your sustainability story. No contracts, no retainers, just a 'one off consultation'.
On retainer - clients are always getting asked 'tricky'' questions from Designers, Builders, Architects and clients. Having a Consultant on hand to help with some awkward and often complicated questions, allows you and your staff to focus on your business. We know the industry, we know how to help clients navigate the sustainability mind field.
On contract - you may want to have ongoing EMS support, or a short term contract to assist with implementing social responsibility practices.
As needed - with some clients, they may engage us to work on a project, have a one off consultant and then engage us as they environmental and or social requirements that need attention.
Project Management - you might need help with managing product certification (GECA, AFRDI Green Tick or Global GreenTag), implementing an environmental management system or working with your team to assist with the implementation of a Suppliers Code of Conduct.
