We Catalyse
Change

Are you wondering where to start with sustainability? Or how to measure environmental impacts of your products & services? We answer these questions – and more – to help you take action and use your organisation as a force for good.

Defining Impact

Impact can mean different things to different people. Here is our ‘prints’ approach, which we use to define the positive and negative impacts an organisation can have on people, society and the environment.

Footprint

The unintentional impact (usually negative) that an organisation has on people and the environment, from carbon emissions to poor working conditions.

Our footprint needs to be reduced to as close to zero as possible

Handprint

The result of intentional effort to create positive change for people and the environment – things like reforestation and enhanced biodiversity.

Our handprint should be amplified so we give more than we take

Brainprint

The intentional or unintentional messages an organisation sends into the world through its actions, choices and messages, and the influence it has on behaviours, values and perceptions.

Our brainprint must align with what the people and nature need to move us along towards a more regenerative future

Our Approach

We take a 5-step approach to enable and empower the transition to regenerative practices in organisations. Some of our clients are with us every step of the way while others join at the point they need our expertise.

Step 1
Measure Impact

Our starting point is to scope our clients’ activities and needs. We collect data and measure the baseline before creating a holistic impact portrait (for a product and/or organisation).

Step 2
Explore Data

The next step is to identify and assess risks and opportunities. We examine blockers and enablers and evaluate the relationship between the data insights and the wider context.

Step 3
Reimagine Future

At this stage we define what good looks like and set the goals. We visualise and quantify the intended impact and model possible scenarios to achieving the goals.

Step 4
Design Plan

This is where we create an action plan. We activate and build enablers while mitigating and reducing risk. Then we engage all teams required to deliver the action plan.

Step 5
Activate Plan

The final step is to activate the plan. We run pilots and tests and support with implementation. We learn from early delivery and plan improvements. Finally, we measure and report progress.

Engaging at Every Step

We look to engage stakeholders in the journey of co-creating the right solution and work together in a manner that is:

Collaborative
Outcome-focused
Iterative
Tailored
Pragmatic
Human-centred

Our systems-led approach is rooted in regenerative and distributive thinking. Our methodologies are guided by the following standards and frameworks:
