Planning your route to a sustainable future
Route Planning is about looking closer at where you want to go and how we can get you there.
After carefully inspecting your business's environmental and social impact, we’ll work with you to find the best destination using the best route for your business.
Our route plans are step-by-step guides outlining your purpose, goals and the actions needed to achieve them. They help prioritise the quick wins before looking at the longer-term goals.
By offering plans tailored to your business’ resources, goals and priorities, we’ll take you from feeling overwhelmed to being in control.
What’s in our toolkit?

-
The first step in creating your route plan is to find your purpose, your guiding north star.
It’s the point that will guide you through your sustainability journey.
It's your purpose that aligns your specific sustainable ambitions with what matters most to your business.
-
We’ll help you set practical, databased goals alongside simple mechanisms you can use to track progress.
Setting data based goals not only helps keep you on the right path but also transparently shows your results to customers and other stakeholders.
We won’t set lofty, unattainable goals, but short- and long-term SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely) goals.
-
Your route plan will include lots of actions that'll help you reach your goals.
Whether it’s implementing actions to make your business more environmentally sustainable; getting more involved with the local community (perhaps working with schools, social enterprises, or charities); working with your supply chain to maximise the good that each link in the chain can do.
The possibilities are endless.
-
A common problem is knowing where to start.
We’ll help prioritise the actions so you can tackle the most accessible and impactful changes first.
-
If suitable, we can align your route plan with the most relevant sustainability framework for your business. This could include the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), or the B Impact Assessment (BIA).

Each B Corp journey is unique, with no one-right way to become a B-Corp, if it is right for you to become one at all! It all depends on factors like your starting point, resources, business type, and team alignment, we tailor the process to fit your needs.
The BIA evaluates businesses’ impacts across 5 areas: governance, workers, environment, communities, and clients.
The assessment provides an impact score, offering valuable insights into your business and its operations by pinpointing areas for improvement. Even if you're not pursuing full B-Corp certification, it's a fantastic way to gauge your business's overall impact.
-
We’ll elevate your business's sustainable game by crafting policies that match your vibe and providing practical actions to get results. It's like giving your team a sustainable superhero makeover – capes not included!
We work with staff, and business leaders offering coaching and mentoring to help facilitate and embed the sustainable transition within core business operations with a view to achieving long-term success.
How we work
You don’t have to do everything in one go. Small changes over time will have positive results. The important thing is to get started.
Our approach is about making it easy for you to adopt practical, planet improving changes.
First, we’ll undertake a business inspection, (the level of detail we go into is up to you). Familiarising ourselves with your business. This will include a working session where we capture all your ideas and ambitions.
Next, we’ll create and deliver your sustainability route plan. This is a series of potential actions, ranked in order of priority and broken down into manageable pieces. Your plan will explain everything you’ll need to do from start to finish, including ongoing areas for improvement to ensure long-term success.
The final step is refining the route plan based on your feedback. Once it’s finalised, we’ll deliver it with supporting communications that’ll allow you to use the document to engage internal and external stakeholders.
That’s it!
