Business advisory services to help organisations turn good energy, environmental and sustainability performance into competitive advantage.
Energy
Show More/LessSustainable Logic provides clear and practical advice for building and business managers looking to:
- Improve the energy efficiency of their business
- Reduce energy bills
- Improve their environmental impact
The aim is to assess relevant factors driving energy costs such as energy contracts, building performance, HVAC & other equipment, production patterns, weather and occupancy to:
- Identify and explain energy use profile
- Visualise energy consumption trends
- Detect situations where consumption deviates from normal use patterns
- Determine future energy use and costs for budgeting and planning changes in the business
- Diagnose specific areas of wasted energy
- Observe how changes impact energy efficiency
- Develop performance targets for energy management programs
- Minimise energy consumption, costs and environmental footprint
The ultimate goal is to reduce energy costs through improved energy efficiency and energy management control. Other benefits generally include increased resource efficiency, improved production efficiency, more controllable budgeting and reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Water
Show More/LessInvesting in water efficiency can provide significant cost savings while enhancing your company's environmental impact and reputation. Typically, resource cost reductions of around 15% can be achieved while generating attractive returns within compelling payback periods. The challenge is in knowing where to look for these opportunities and in building the case for investment.
Sustainable Logic can help you take the first steps towards understanding how water is used, building a business case and assessing the benefits of cutting water use and improving resource management. Based on extensive experience of working with large and small companies, I can build with you a review of opportunities and likely returns.
This usually begins with an assessment of the characteristics of your business' water and wastewater footprint, working with you to establish a realistic analysis of volume and cost reduction opportunities to help you to determine how to further focus efforts in order to pursue these opportunities.

Waste
Show More/LessInvesting in material, resource and waste efficiency can provide significant financial benefits while enhancing your company's environmental impact and reputation.
Sustainable Logic can help you take the first steps towards understanding how materials are used and waste generated within your business. Based on extensive experience of working with large and small companies, I can provide you with a review of practical opportunities and likely costs and benefits of options.
This usually begins with an assessment of the characteristics of your business' resource consumption and waste levels, working with you to establish a top-down analysis of volume, treatment and disposal cost reduction opportunities to determine how to allocate further focus in order to pursue these opportunities. Typically, resource cost reductions of around 15% can be achieved while generating attractive returns within compelling payback periods.
The review will include a meeting on-site to establish the scope and characteristics of the organisation, and broader business objectives; Collation of material and resource consumption data and waste characterisation; Modelling of resource and cost saving opportunities; Identification and quantification of the opportunities, including estimates of total savings, capex or opex requirements and the ROIs that you might achieve; and; Recommendations for focusing and prioritising investment.

Environmental management
Show More/LessAll businesses can benefit from adopting a structured approach to ensure their resource use is well managed, to achieve associated financial savings through efficiency measures and to ensure that the business is not breaching current or developing environmental legislation. There are many organisations, large and small, that have implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS) and gained significant business benefits.
Environmental impacts vary between organisations but typically will include business waste, emissions, energy use, transport and consumption of materials. Wider factors can also be included, such as supply chain impacts and impacts on wildlife (biodiversity). In undertaking an EMS I will guide you through identifying the significant effects relevant to your business.
An EMS will help your organisation to:
- Understand and improve its environmental performance
- Comply with environmental laws and regulations
- Generate financial savings through efficient practices, such as cutting waste and energy use
- Improve the reputation of your business with staff, client companies, partner organisations and wider stakeholders
I can help you review your environmental impacts and the current status of any environmental controls that you already have in place and the costs and benefits of initiating or upgrading your EMS.

Environmental & sustainability reporting
Show More/LessI can help you ensure that your organisation's environmental and sustainability reporting and other disclosures meet your corporate objectives, whether these are to assess cost or environmental impact reduction opportunities, managing risk, or enhancing your reputation.
The approach would be to assess your sustainability reporting needs and objectives. Once this is clear and the key stakeholder audiences are identified, the understanding gained can be applied to define a clear set of requirements to frame reporting scope and data quality requirements. This will enable design of a robust data management and reporting system that is responsive to any relevant current and future regulatory requirements, key stakeholder or client requirements and your own corporate goals.

Environmental & sustainability strategy
Show More/LessA strategic vision helps companies turn good energy, environmental and sustainability performance into competitive advantage but it is sometimes hard to maintain perspective when we are all struggling to find time within a hectic schedule and make sense of a rapidly changing world. I would like to be your partner in identifying that unique change vision that works to enhance your business.
Understanding your business context and finding out which ambitions and internal and external trends have the potential to significantly impact success is critically important. The ability to think holistically about your business context needs perspective. As an independent partner, I will assist you to see yourself from a wider sustainability viewpoint.
A long-term sustainability agenda also changes how you prioritise process, supply chain and stakeholder agendas. Creating a balance of economic, social and environmental or natural capital in any business is especially challenging and ensuring there is compatibility between the goals you set needs careful thought. Together we can establish what aspects are really important to securing your business' potential value and sift out what are the material questions to ask in order to make good decisions and add business value.
Once your strategic vision is clear to you, it needs to be communicated effectively to turn vision into reality, be it through internally acting policy or standards, standards that reach into your supply partners or stakeholder disclosures and reports. This transparency of purpose is crucial to good relationships and to communicating effectively. Ensuring your organisation communicates consistently across all media and making sure what it says is aligned to your sustainability vision needs careful planning and management. Sustainable Logic can work with you to ensure your strategic messaging is both consistent and impactful so you can have assurance that it is supporting your efforts to build business value through all your stakeholders.
