Designed for clients who don’t need or can’t afford a full-time resource, our dedicated, on-site Fractional Sustainability Manager support forms part of your in-house team, providing hands-on advice and guidance that keeps you informed, in-control and fully compliant of your sustainability obligations.
Ensuring your business is on a sustainable path that keeps you compliant with ever changing legislation and fully aligns with the UK’s overarching goal of achieving net-zero by 2050 (2045 in Scotland) is complex and time-consuming.
While big organisations have the resource and capacity to employ dedicated teams to manage their sustainability journey, most SMEs are either unable to afford this resource or simply don’t need it on a full time basis and that’s where our Fractional Sustainability Manager support comes into play.
By tapping into our experienced sustainability consultants on a part-time basis, clients can find the right balance of support to keep them compliant and meet their increasing obligations while minimising their internal overhead costs.
Our team are experts in the full range of services and can assist with general, ad-hoc work such as setting up systems and processes or staff training through to more detailed, technical support such as creating focused net-zero roadmaps, delivering carbon footprint assessments, undertaking technical audits and ensuring full compliance with all applicable legislation. In addition, your Fractional Sustainability Manager isn’t limited to a single individual, meaning you gain access to the full depth of our team’s knowledge, sector specific insights and specialist skills.
With support ranging from a single day up to two weeks per month, our Fractional Sustainability Manager has been designed specifically to become part of your in-house team, allowing them to gain a much deeper level of understanding of how your business operates and enabling them to target our advice and support more accurately.
A fractional sustainability manager works part-time or on a contract basis to help organisations develop and implement sustainability strategies. They guide eco-friendly practices, ensure compliance, track progress, and support green initiatives without the cost of a full-time hire.
No, the Fractional Sustainability Manager will consider a holistic approach to sustainability, covering Environment, Social and Governance (ESG). We will generally follow the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) as the pillars of this service.
It offers flexibility and cost savings, providing expert guidance tailored to your business needs without the overhead of a permanent role.
Defining the priority actions will be one of the first tasks. These will take into account the organisations needs, industry best-practice and sustainability best-practice. Typical examples may be energy efficiency, net-zero planning, carbon baselining and policy review.
