Eco Business Consulting & Accreditation

Environmental considerations are an ever-increasing talking point for people of all walks of life. This wave of conversation is always growing, and businesses are finding they may need to do their part as consumers are starting to ask serious questions. Our eco business consulting service and sustainability accreditations are designed to ensure you’re able to do your part and, ultimately, be on the right side of history.

The Importance of Eco Consultancy For Your Business

In today’s rapidly evolving market, sustainability is no longer just a concern for some businesses. For companies of all shapes and sizes it’s now a critical component of a successful strategy. Engaging with eco business consulting services will help your firm to develop and implement sustainability practices that resonate with eco-conscious customers, enhancing your brand’s reputation and value. Together, we can create a resilient and responsible future for us all.

Nowadays, consumers increasingly favour businesses that demonstrate a tangible commitment to environmental stewardship. Building a loyal customer base like this could make a huge difference to a company’s bottom line, especially in times of significant economic upheaval.

During times of increased economic pressure, building a loyal consumer base like this could make all the difference.

By identifying areas to improve, eco consultancy could also help lower costs and, at the same time, increase profitability. Eco Communities was created back in 2019 as a result of working with 30 businesses, helping them reduce single-use plastic waste. Since then, we’re immensely proud to have been able to support many more companies in our region — we’re only just getting started

“As consumers we have so much power to change the world by just being careful with what we buy.” – Emma Watson

Taking action towards sustainability is not just about big gestures and global initiatives; it’s about the everyday changes that collectively can make a huge impact. By learning sustainability measures, you can contribute to a healthier planet, a stronger local economy, and a better community. Whether you’re a business leader, a community organiser, or an individual, your actions matter. Here’s why:

0%
It’s estimated that around 70% of global carbon emissions since 1988 are produced by only 100 companies.
0%
Three quarters of all adults in the United Kingdom are believed to actively worry about climate change.
0%
76% of the plastic produced between the 1920s and 2015 became waste. Recycling is on the up, but not enough.
0 Trillion
We generate over 350 million tonnes of plastic waste yearly. This figure is expected to triple by 2060.

Our Sustainability Accreditations

Sustainability accreditations are a key part of our eco business consulting service. At Eco Communities, we are proud to offer a range of certifications designed to recognise and validate your company’s commitment to environmental responsibility. These courses demonstrate your dedication to sustainability practices and promote that you are doing your part for the environment and your local community.

Our selection of sustainability accreditations are:

Food for the Planet

The Food for the Planet accreditation is part of Sustainable Food Places and is awarded to businesses that adopt sustainable food practices. This includes implementing measures such as sourcing local and organise produce, minimising food waste where possible, and promoting plant-based options.

Achieving this certification showcases your commitment to doing your part to normalise more sustainable food systems in UK food establishments.

Carbon Reduction Action Certification

Carbon Reduction Action is all about recognising businesses that have committed to reducing their carbon footprint. This accreditation places emphasis on your day-to-day efforts to make your firm more energy efficient, embrace renewable sources, reduce emissions, and more.

By reducing your output, you can not only improve your impact on the planet, but you can save some money on your bills.

Become a Plastic Free Champion

In collaboration with Surfers Against Sewage, our Plastic Free Champion campaign aims to support you to eliminate single-use plastics. All you need to do is make some simple changes from wasteful and harmful single-use plastics to renewable and sustainable alternatives.

By achieving plastic free status, you join a growing community of like-minded firms, groups, and individuals in doing your part and making a difference.
