Company activities and impact

Following the company’s formation on 10th February 2022, activities commenced to formally analyse what had been limiting members of the independent consulting community getting more work in Sustainability, with an emphasis on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) first given there were a number of prospective members prepared to join and pay for analysis of the market in this regard and be given access to leads in it. The CIC’s investigation revealed that no compulsory reporting on ESG had been required to date, and standards for financial disclosures on Climate (TCFD) and Nature (TNFD) were not due to be introduced until 2024. Some endeavours were made by the lead founder partnership (Eco Enable Group LLP) to win business based on data required, however there was still a lack of both clarity as well as expertise on what data needed to be captured and how managed without having an understanding of standards and expectations for compliance. Focus was instead switched in late 2022 to working on development of sustainability instead, with an emphasis given to assisting members capable of enabling increased use of vehicle and infrastructures with low to zero carbon emissions, as well as enabling development of sustainable consumer products which better fit with sustainable communities and lifestyle

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are those who have demonstrable and reputably referenceable experience in one or more areas of sustainability, or are capable of acquiring that experience, and are prepared to take a lead in one or more areas. These were identified from an initial group of independent consultants and micro business owners sourced by the founder and partners of Eco-Enable Group LLP, and brought together into a LinkedIn Chat Group to discuss their knowledge and experience in Sustainability and interest to do more work in it, as well as ways to analyse needs for their capability and interest with a view to what could be done as a community focused on the different key considerations for it. It was a consequence of discussion in this group that agreement was reached to form am Alliance where members would collaborate to both share costs of joining networking organisations as well as related marketing and business development based on discovery of opportunities. Initially it was agreed through consultation with this group to start with ESG first, as there was a keen interest amongst several members of this group to know more about scope of opportunity to do work in this. The other areas of interest where there were several members keen to do more was in monitoring of vehicle carbon emissions, tied in with reducing Climate Change impact and net zero carbon emissions – but also to enabling ways and means for considering adoption and use of transport based on hybrid fuel and electric power or solely electric vehicle (EV). This included taking on board several members, one who had developed how own EV charger as well as drove a Tesla and another who had interests in vehicle-share enterprise. An interest in digital sustainability was identified by the founder through attending The Open Group’s event on Enterprise Architecture (EA) and Sustainability in October 2022. This led to member joining on that basis as well as interest from others about what required for it to be adopted by business (or just digital users per se, including those with their own websites and email as well as Google Meetup, Teams or Zoom licenses) Towards the end of the year, on set up of The Eco-Enabler Alliance (TEA) discussion group on LinkedIn for creating a broader church for discussion with lead advocates, moderate activists as well as experienced sustainability development consultants globally, several prospective members were identified who were interested in scope to enable more sustainability in consumer retail products. The latter were those who had either worked for restaurant groups or fashion retailers or had designed and developed their own business sourcing and supplying them (including claims to having designed their own sustainable fashion products. As such, investigation was undertaken into status of sustainability for such products and what required for them to be sustainable. Several prospective members in sustainable food were identified, including those who might be prepared to be advocates for its adoption on a more moderate basis.The TEA brand, representing the approach for discussing considerations and concerns for sustainability, calmly (and perhaps confidentially), over a cup of tea has appeared to be accepted by all as a way forward for getting better and more measured consideration of the needs for Sustainability
