Why pay a fortune for sustainability consultancy when there’s another option?

During Covid, Will Powell’s own future was on hold, like almost everyone’s. But unlike most of us, he channelled that frustration into building a company! Future Shift is a very new type of sustainability consultancy helping companies get B-Corp recognition for their work towards positive impact.

PARTAGER CET ARTICLE

It’s a common scenario: a small or medium-sized enterprise works hard on its core activity, on raising its profile, growing its business.

The founders and the teams are well aware of their social and environmental responsibilities, they incorporate those priorities into an already significant workload… But then when it comes to getting the certification to prove their credentials, yet more work is required. And all too often the process stalls there, because the company can afford neither the time to work through the process themselves, nor the fees for a consultant to help them.

This was what Will Powell and his co-founder Oscar Gue saw when they turned their attention to sustainability in business, and that was what they set about transforming.

Listen to Will Powell tell the tale of FutureShift and some of the companies they’ve consulted for in the years since that fertile Covid-frustration!
