Sustainability Delivery Group

Harnessing the expertise to deliver sustainability

Will sustainability be a casualty of Covid-19?

We launched Environment Analyst, a market intelligence business, in 2008 into the teeth of the global financial crisis. Customers turned to us for intelligence to help navigate market shock waves – as the development sector collapsed, private sector clients switched their priorities towards survival rather than sustainability, and later as government austerity kicked in.

Now, as our customers grapple with Covid-19, our aim is to reapply some of our learnings from 12 years ago, and once again deliver the intelligence the environmental sector needs as it charts a route towards a brighter future.

Let's hope this time sustainability strategy is not a casuality of the crisis. We want our new Sustainability Delivery Group to showcase the talents of the environmental and sustainability consulting sector and help clients and wider stakeholders think holistically and creatively as they plan for post-crisis opportunities.
