sustainability

We create, resource and deliver sustainability management practices and services within organisations, enabling our clients to achieve the highest standards for sustainability and environmental performances and helping steer several to repeated international awards.

We are passionate about the value that effective sustainability management practices and systems can create for our clients. Our sustainability services provide a catalyst for genuine improvements in sustainability and overall business performance, as well as providing a recognised benchmark and communication tool for staff and suppliers alike.

We recognise that it is important for companies to know 'where they stand' against their competitors and against leaders in the field of sustainability management. EDP works with companies to establish their current position by benchmarking them against the requirements of a number of sustainability and environmental performance standards, and also against the performance of recognised sustainability exemplars.

Once the benchmark is known, our sustainability management system tools; assess strengths and weaknesses; help to identify and manage significant impacts; can secure cost savings and internal efficiencies; provide sustainability improvement metrics and monitor and report on sustainability performance.

We do not offer a 'one-size-fits-all' solution. We firmly believe that while there are many common factors across organisations, each business needs sustainability support that is adapted to suit its unique systems, culture and reporting frameworks.

We have provided tailored sustainability management services for some of the world's best known brands, including installing our own sustainability consultants on client sites to operate as 'virtual' embedded employees, and providing direct consultancy support.

Our clients have repeatedly earned international awards and achieved the highest possible standards for environmental and sustainability performance which we are proud to have helped steer them to achieve, working in partnership to consistently succeed in economic and environmental savings in the areas of energy, carbon and waste.
