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.
We offer three core services to help your organisation become more sustainable and resilient.
How do you integrate sustainability and build resilience into your business? The first step is to measure your impact, identify risks and uncover opportunities. We help you achieve clarity and to feel confident on where and how to take action.
When it comes to sustainability, incremental changes are no longer enough. The real shift comes from rethinking how your business offers value within the constraints of planetary boundaries and a just society. Whether you are exploring sustainability for the first time, or want to take your ambition to the next level, we can help you formulate a strategy that is fit for the future and builds resilience in your business.
Change is not a linear process and requires multiple actors and interventions to come together. Whether it's at a corporate, industry or policy level, we help engage stakeholders to facilitate inclusive and innovative solutions. We'll provide you with the tools and expertise you need to catalyse systemic change.
Much of our impact is achieved through specific projects and ongoing partnerships, but sometimes you may prefer to access expertise on-demand. Explore our range of flexible options, from our sustainability hotline to hands-on support for your in-house team:
Need advice but don’t want to commit to a long-term contract? Are you looking for a network of experts to call upon to help you get unstuck?
Do you want rapid and reliable sustainability support when you need it most? Access our Expert On-Demand service to get answers as your questions arise.
Need experienced sustainability leadership, but don't have the budget or workload for a full-time resource?
Do you have a gap in your sustainability team? Want to make progress until a permanent resource is found?

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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
We engage stakeholders along the way to co-create solutions that are deliberative and deliverable. We work together in a manner that is:
Our systems-led approach is rooted in regenerative and distributive thinking. Our methodologies are guided by the following standards and frameworks:
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.
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
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
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 be aligned in a way that supports both people and nature, helping us reach a regenerative future
Bemari have a wealth of industry insights that not only supported us in the short term but long term too. The team were professional and a pleasure to work with. If you need a trusted guide and expert hand in navigating through the impact landscape, I can't recommend Bemari more.
