Route Planning
Finding a clear direction
Answered one sustainability questionnaire or data request and realised it’s probably not the last?
Or do you know roughly where you stand, but not what to do about it? You’re in the right place.
The benefits:
Turn a customer's sustainability requirements — or your own ambitions — into a clear, prioritised, achievable plan
Know exactly what to tackle first, and what can wait
Answer the next questionnaire, tender or pitch from a position of strength
Stand out from your competition
Build the know-how to keep it going, without depending on us forever
Planning your route to a sustainable future
Once we know where you stand, a Route Plan turns that into a clear way forward — the right destination for your business, aligned with your customers’ sustainability requirements, and the best route to reach it.
Your plan is a practical, step-by-step guide: your priorities ranked, quick wins flagged, with the longer-term goals broken into manageable steps.
Everything is grounded in real data, so the actions you take — and the claims you make along the way — will stand up to scrutiny.
With a plan tailored to your business’s resources, goals and priorities, we’ll take you from feeling overwhelmed to being in control.
Strategy that delivers
When a sustainable goods company wanted to improve their B Corp score, we worked through it together — reviewing where they stood, agreeing the priorities worth pursuing, and turning those into practical actions, including a new environmental management system, product-level emissions analysis, and stronger governance.
85.2 - 94.6
The result: a jump of over nine points in six months. That's what a clear, prioritised plan looks like in practice — knowing what to tackle, in what order, and why.
Wherever you're starting from, we'll plan a route that fits your business. Want to know what we can do for you? Let’s Talk.

Clear targets
Realistic goals grounded in recognised frameworks like SBTi, so what you're aiming for stands up when customers or auditors ask

Training to build your in-house know-how, plus a resource pack outlining what to use and when, so your team can carry it forward with confidence
What makes us different?
-
As the little guy in the David Vs Goliath story, we think SMEs deserve a little extra care. The “big guys” have an army of resources available. SMEs, in comparison, face the challenges of limited resources, time and knowledge.
That’s who we’re here for: businesses big enough to be asked the hard questions but small enough that a full sustainability team isn’t realistic. You don’t need one - not all the time - but you sometimes need a helping hand.
-
We don't upsell or pressurise.
We’ll work with you to find solutions suited to your business and budget.
With a small consultancy, you’re getting senior expertise directly - without paying for big-agency overheads.
-
As a boutique consultancy, our approach is tailored not templated.
We believe success lies in listening, understanding and creating results-driven solutions unique to your business.
All that nitty-gritty, behind the scenes analysis, sustainability planning and communications creation? That’s our happy place.
You can expect us in your corner cheering you on, giving step-by-step instructions, and answering questions every step of the way.
This might be:
A 1:1 chat
Supportive coaching sessions
Asset Review
Impact Assessment
Focused analysis based no a specific request or criteria
End-to—end inspection, route planning and communications

You might have heard of the UN’s SDGs, B-Corp and other sustainable accreditations and feel pressured to get one.
We'll help you find the right path for your business. That might include using a recognised framework or working towards an accreditation, but only if it's right for your business.
That being said, undertaking a B Impact Assessment (BIA) is a fantastic and free way to find out more about your impact. You can do the assessment to test the waters – without having to get fully certified.
There’s no fear mongering or forceful tactics involved – just suggestions of what you can manage as a business.
-
Sustainability can feel like one more thing on an already full plate — and hiring someone permanent isn't always realistic.
That's where we come in. Use us as much or as little as you need — from a one-off coaching session to a part-time extension of your team. No expensive headcount, no unnecessary complexity.
How we work
You don't have to do everything at once — we'll go at your pace, and take you on the full journey or just the parts you need. This is what the journey could look like:
First, an Inspection. We get to know your business and capture your ideas and ambitions — through an interview, a working session, or both. The level of detail is up to you.
Next, your Route Plan. A series of practical actions, ranked by priority and broken into manageable steps — explaining what to do from start to finish, including the ongoing improvements that keep you on track.
Finally, we refine and deliver. We adjust the plan around your feedback, then hand it over with supporting communications — so you can act on it and tell your story with confidence.
That's it.
Turning plans into trust
Once you have a clear plan, the next step is to communicate it confidently to customers, suppliers, and procurement teams.

Communications help you explain your sustainability journey clearly, whilst building trust.
