Sustainability Consulting

B Corps are committed to using business as a force for good. We wanted to become a B Corp, as our mission and values unequivocally align with theirs. We strongly believe in collaborating, within local networks, to build sustainable growth for all stakeholders.

Along with our mission and values, we see the B Corp Impact Assessment as the most comprehensive and over-arching sustainability currently available. There are many standards for environmental impact, which is important, but there are not any others that cover all the UN Sustainable Development Goals so comprehensively. We did not want an assessment to give us a green sticker for just turning the lights off when we are out of the room, we wanted to evaluate exactly how sustainable and responsible our organisation is, as well as identify areas in which we can improve. As a B Corp, we are counted among businesses that are leading a global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.

CAfS’ vision is a zero carbon Cumbria which is socially, environmentally, and economically beneficial for all.

Climate action across Cumbria is led by a ground-breaking partnership of community organisations, businesses and the public sector. The aim of the Zero Carbon Cumbria Partnership (ZCCP) is to deliver a net zero carbon Cumbria by 2037 in a way which benefits local communities.Zero Carbon Cumbria - Carbon reduction action across the county.

NuGreen have partnered with CAfS and the ZCCP to help decarbonise and achieve true sustainability for our local communities. The values of CAfS and the ZCCP align with our own, especially with building strong and collaborative local networks to help achieve a sustainable future.

In September we started a research project with Lancaster University and Westmorland and Furness Green Enterprise Hub, facilitated by Cumbria Action for Sustainability, to develop a behavioural science framework designed to pinpoint interventions for sustainable change within healthcare.

We are incredibly happy to announce the project has finished with enormous success! A special thank you and congratulations to Emily Adams for all her amazing research and work completing the project. We cannot wait to put the framework into action and share all the cost and carbon savings that come along with it.

With sustainability and ESG being a prevailing consideration on employees’ minds now more than ever, qpeople engaged with us to help them have a deeper understanding on the fundamentals of sustainability. We completed a compact training session with them, covering sustainability topics from carbon emissions to putting value in resource.
