Strategy & Management Consulting Services Brochure

Strategic consulting services | Page 1* Net Positive sustainability has been jointly developed with ESD Consulting Ltd.We provide sustainability consulting services in three main areas; strategy, management and performance & best practice. These are delivered in two ways. Firstly, through strategic advice and consultancy based upon international best practice experience, information gathering and analysis, and the production of reports with clear priorities and recommendations. Secondly, we specialise in using interactive approaches including workshops and other participative processes to involve people from the business. This builds staff capacity and capabilities and also engages them in creating solutions that work.Accentuate the positiveWe have developed a stretching and systematic approach to sustainability management within companies which we call Net Positive sustainability*. This provides a comprehensive, structured approach to sustainability management, focussing upon the identification and management of environmental and social impacts - enhancing the positive and minimising the negative aspects of business practice in the context of achieving and demonstrating an overall positive benefit.Traditionally, sustainability has focussed upon doing less harm and minimising negative impact. While these objectives are vital and economically important we feel they lack ambition and the capability to excite, engage and motivate positive change. Sustainability provides a range of opportunities to build long-term business value. Therefore, sustainability effort should be concentrated not only on reducing negative environmental and social impacts but also upon maximising positive environmental and social outcomes. Net Positive metrics At its core, Net Positive sustainability can be measured through the interactions of three simple metrics – the growth in the gap between revenue growth (or other economic indicator) and environmental impact and the narrowing of the gap between social value created and revenue growth. Terrafiniti helps clients meet their evolving environmental and social responsibilities through innovative sustainability strategies and management.
