As climate, environmental and sustainability specialists, we are here to support ​your organisation in achieving your green ambitions.

We are climate scientists, educators, ‘engagers’ and environmental leaders, ​adapting effective and impactful climate practice in the private sector. We ​function on a variety of levels from policy design and implementation, self review, ​staff training, consumer engagement and mitigation strategies.

More recently, we have evolved to enhance our level of service to incorporate ​targeted programmes to support climate anxiety and well-being.

Our collaborative work focuses centrally around developing a sustainable ​approach within your organisation that is a shared experience for all stakeholders.

iCarbon is your holistic environmental solution, developing accountability, agency ​and engagement in sustainable functions across your daily operations.

Born from our partner organisations, Elysium Environmental Learning, CLOUD ​and HEAT, our collaborative approach to bespoke performance driven outcomes is ​unique and personal.

Our philosophy is routed in a collective responsibility to shape the planet for ​generations to come.

Ensuring that your organisation, no mater its size, is able to diversify, evolve and embrace ​the changing commercial ‘climate’ is integral to ensuring continued success and ​growth.

It is of vital importance that as organisations, we are able to reflect on our global impact, ​be honest and direct about our approaches to lessen our carbon emissions and operate ​strategically in an ethical way.

We believe in making environmental and sustainability aims achievable, impactful and ​shared values amongst staff, clients and consumers. Communication of aims and the ​sharing of your ‘why’ value is so important to delivering effective climate mitigation. Our ​methods of support are centred firmly in developing agency in the fight against climate ​change, enhanced sustainability and decarbonisation.

Our ‘why’ is firmly routed in believing that collectively, we should endeavour to preserve ​the natural environment for future generations, thus ensuring the maintenance of ​conditions for effective global trade whilst supporting local businesses to develop robust ​approaches to coping with future ‘Transition’ risks as government policy evolves and ​compliance measures evolve as we move ever closer towards Net Zero.

Our flexible programme supports a broad range of various business models across ​multiple sectors and industries and can be adapted to encompass your sustainable aims.

However, a carefully considered and strategic ​approach, alongside and understanding of the political landscape will ​ease this transition.
