What Our Clients Say

"As a major frozen food supplier focused onreducing environmental impact, wewere looking for expert guidance to strengthen our carbon emissions reporting and sustainability policies. Our customers across the food service industry are asking for increasingly complex sustainability information and we did not have the capabilities in-house to develop the strategy and level of reporting that we needed.

"After working with Gareth and his simple step-by-step process, we now have a fuller picture ofour company's environmental impact and are taking concrete action to reduce our carbon footprint. We now have clear sustainability policies that apply across the business and can clearly communicate ESG information, assuring our customers that we take sustainability seriously

"We have worked with Gareth for several years. We choose to work with him again and again because he provides clear, professional and easy to understand solutions. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, we feel more confident in our sustainability strategy and our ability to make a measurable impact.

"We would strongly recommend Gareth to any organisation looking to strengthen its sustainability strategy and create measurable impact."

Helping Our Clients Win Awards

As a local Christian organisation, Wombourne URC wanted to measure their carbon footprint as part of the ECO-Church award scheme. However, they had little experience in sustaniability and admitting to feeling a little overwhelmed by the technical requirements needed to calculate their carbon footprint. For this they approached GB Sustainability.

Within two weeks, GB Sustainability conducted a Scope 1 and 2 carbon footprint assessment, including accounting for the specific green energy tariffs used at the church premises. Using this as part of their application, Wombourne became the first United Reformed Church in the West Midlands Synod to receive the Gold ECO-Church Award.

"I'm not very good with figures, but GB Sustainability explained the issues well. Working with them was a very good experience, they were very knowledgeable and explained the results in an understandable way."
