Helping organisations to achieve positive sustainable change that doesn't cost the earth

About us

Sustainology UK is here to help businesses achieve more in terms of their sustainability. Applying the three pillars of sustainability (environmental, economic and social) to a business we can help create long term value. We believe that sustainability should not cost the earth. We translate the three pillars into their more informal context of people, planet and profit to breakdown the myths around sustainability. By pursuing these objectives we help move clients from a historic model to working on a triple bottom line approach to create a wider positive impact. SUSTAINABILITY AWARENESS From simply raising corporate awareness by curating content relevant to a business, we can boost a business' understanding of sustainability issues. The internet has 135,000 mentions of sustainability a month so let us do the curation for you. SUSTAINABLE IMPROVEMENT We can help businesses improve their sustainability performance by developing and integrating a sustainability strategy into their business. We can help with objective setting, aligning the vision to relevant targets, working with organisations to achieve these targets and communicating effectively with both internal and external stakeholders. We can help if part of the strategy is to achieve recognised certification for example as a B Corp or compliance with ISO 14001. SUSTAINABILE SUPPORT Many procurement bodies require responses that focus on sustainability issues and ethical procurement. If your organisation needs support in this field we are here to help you. We have a strong background in tender support in this field. Achieving first rank on behalf of our clients. We are proud of our track record and know that you will not be disappointed in our service. If any of these services appeal to you then please do not hesitate to get in touch via our website or simply via the number below.

  • Great insight from Samantha Taylor as always

    I’m firmly of the opinion that small, independent businesses hold leverage to make, any industry, more circular. There is no doubt that big business, with their focus on shareholder returns at the expense of the planet, hinder the rate at which we adopt to the circular economy. Which is why I was shocked to see small businesses from the U.K. on Tik Tok this weekend inform their EU and Nothern Ireland customers that this is their last chance to order before the GSPR comes into force in 11 days. The GSPR is the General Safety Product Refulation. And you may not know much about it, especially if you’re in apparel, homewares, toys etc, because the regulations haven’t really changed. And they’re largely the same as the U.K. Even the traceability aspect is weak compared to what we’re expecting with ESPR (Eco Design for Sustainable Product Regulation). The major change is being able to track your product across its life span in case of safety recalls. And you need an EU representative. Which of course is not free. The average is around £300 per year. That may not seem like a lot, but it’s a problem for craft people. The good news is that the EU has set up a free portal for advice on this. With the guarentee they’ll answer you within 15 days. Which I found by Googling free product contact point EU. If you can’t find it, please DM me. The other administrative burden is the cost of proof as well as employing some on to to create a risk strategy. One artist who sells watercolours will no longer be selling to the EU, despite buying all her materials in the U.K., which should then adhere to safety laws. This regulation is a reaction to SHEIN and Temu who have been able to flout these laws to deadly outcome. In terms of goals it’s a regulation to support. But the implementation is really ass over face. #Regulation #RiskStrategy #SustainableFashion

    🌊 Marine ecosystems and wildlife are crucial in fighting climate change. Safeguarding and restoring #ocean life is key to securing a healthy planet for future generations. 🌍 Check out 3 incredible ways the ocean stores CO2. 👇 Via World Economic Forum

  • Are businesses the missing link to a nature positive future? COP16, the UN Biodiversity Conference, was held in Columbia earlier this week. What were the outcomes? ✅ An agreement was made to make companies share profits from commercial discoveries derived from nature’s genetics ✅ Indigenous and local communities will have a permanent role in biodiversity decision-making within the UN Disappointingly, COP16 ended with some key issues like nature conservation financing left unresolved. But positively 3,000 businesses were present showing their support and seeking ambitious frameworks to tackle the nature crisis. A recent CBI report showed 79% of business leaders saw the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on biodiversity and nature as relevant to their company. 🌱 Every business is dependent on nature for long-term survival and success. Looking to take action to mitigate risks, build resilience and preserve the long term health and viability of your business? Time is of the essence.

    Co-Founder & Initiative Lead at WATERHOLISTIC

    IF YOU HAVE INTEREST IN KNOWING WHY THE TRAGEDY IN  VALENCIA, READ THIS. More than three months ago, I wrote a status: MEDITERRANEAN COUNTRIES EXPECT HARD TIMES IN AUTUMN (https://lnkd.in/eYGyrJAM). In the status, I drew attention to the very serious risk of extremely heavy downpours, which will have devastating effects on Mediterranean countries with enormous damage caused by flash floods. I also expressed the opinion that I do not see a single state that would solve this. I want to believe that what happened in Spain will wake up the competent in the EU states, so that we urgently begin to take seriously the effects of the drying up of Europe and urgently address the essence of the problems of the growth of extremes. The urgent need to correct small water cycles is not a fashion trend, but an essential need to address the safety of citizens of EU countries. It also applies to Slovakia and the whole world. Please don't underestimate it. #floods #climatechange #water #disaster #spain #valencia

    If we can’t agree on what’s true, we can’t find solutions to the problems. And this is currently the problem of our age: misinformation. Something that is hugely relevant with a candidate for the US presidential election saying climate change is a hoax. I don’t believe this one election will do much on changing the needle. By thinking that we give the US, and a single person, too much power. And we give away our agency. But the global north is still big on its colonialist mentality! We have to be able to know, and trust, what is true. The truth is that climate change is a human made crisis. 98% of scientists believe that. If I told you that you had a 98% chance of dying tonight, you probably aren’t going to work today. It’s further proven, by the work of the major contributors to climate change themselves, that fossil fuels are the biggest cause. The apparel industry needs to collectively align themselves with this truth. We will disagree on the solution, which is the right thing to happen. We don’t all want to be going after the same solution. But we need to agree to stop using virgin synthetics. In my opinion, the only acceptable place to be using them is PPE equipment. If we could all agree on that, I think we’d be in a pretty decent place to fulfil our responsibility to the fight against climate change. Would you make a commitment to do that? #SustainableFashion #Synthetics #FabricDevelopment

  • We are priveleged to announce that Samantha Taylor has joined us at Sustainology UK.

Experienced with sustainable strategy and implementation, including Scope 3 Cat 1 decarbonisation. Sam is a specialist in circular product strategies including waste reduction, alternative consumption methods and digital solutions for agile supply chains. The emphasis on decarbonisation of suply chains is going to be a priceless skill as more companies sign up to SBTI, CDP and ESRD and the need to reduce carbon footprints becomes essential. To illustrate what Sam can offer here is a small taste. https://lnkd.in/ehx_TyMe

  • There is merit in supporting an organisation to change however there is less merit in supporting a business who is fundamentally undermining what the sustainanbility movement stands for.

    ⏩ It’s official – Havas lost its coveted B Corporation status after a B Lab review in response to its work with Shell. ❓What did Havas say about it? Havas said it’s proud to support its clients in their ‘transformation for the future’. 😵💫  So how is Shell actually ‘transforming’ the future? Mainly by polluting more. You know, things like… cutting its capital investment into solar and wind energy by over 40%; having inadequate human rights policies and not cleaning up decades of environmental destruction and contamination in places like the Niger Delta. 🔗 Learn more about the reality of Shell’s work at oilchange.org/borc-shell 📰 Read more about Havas and B Corp: https://lnkd.in/enF-dhwU #Havas #HavasMedia #BCorp #Shell #Greenwashing #ClimateChange #OilAndGas #Sustainability
