The 21st century challenge for your organisation
“Companies that don’t adapt [to a zero carbon economy] will go bankrupt without question,” says Mark Carney, Bank of England Governor.
Instead, organisations that put sustainability and CSR at the heart of what they do, will be the standout leaders and will survive and thrive.
And making a positive impact has been shown to attract and retain better talent (especially for Millennials and Gen Z), boosting engagement, productivity and happiness at work.

The benefits of bringing your team into the wild
People who are more connected with nature and who spend more time outdoors, become more environmentally responsible, more concerned, and also happier in their interpersonal relationships. Time in nature really does boost everyone's creative thinking, and improves trust and social cohesion between colleagues.
Questions we help you answer● Where do you start?
● What can you do to be more sustainable, circular and regenerative? ● How can you be more socially responsible? ● How can you ensure your supply chain is resilient? ● Can you help your customers? ● What else can you do? |
|
Businesses to be inspired by:
|
● a fish n’ chip shop reinvents itself as a vegan cafe
● a fashion retailer stops selling stuff, pivots to focus on trading in inspiration instead ● an organic supermarket whose mission is to build resilience in their supply chain |
● a closed loop, fully sustainable brewery
● a big six energy supplier changes their business model away from fossil fuels to renewables ● a successful farm innovates away from a sole focus on profits, to pilot soil regeneration |
How does it work?
Drawing inspiration and learning from nature’s ecosystems we design the activities and this programme in such a way as to help you look at how you can be more sustainable and socially responsible.
Starting with activities that bring everyone together and lower barriers (connection), with reflection that gets people thinking about the way you work, we create a space for creative thinking and collaboration on a deeper level in order to surface rich and practical ideas from the whole team that you can act on.

Client Case Study

Client: Space Doctors
Location: Woods, Sussex Group Size: 24 What they said: “At a time when business as usual is no longer sustainable, this time gave us valuable distance and the headspace and perspective to reevaluate what we do, for tomorrow.” Dr. Fiona McNae, CEO Who they are: Space Doctors are a cultural analysis and semiotic insight agency who work with international corporate clients, with three offices around the world. Their question: How can we live the values of a responsible business and bring more congruence to client work? What happened: We start with a fire making challenge designed to connect everyone from Space Doctor's different offices. Around the fire in the afternoon, the whole team discuss how to include more sustainability and social responsibility in the way they do things, and together come up with ways to do it - including sharing research with each other, interrogating briefs, challenging clients, and ensuring personal growth for the whole team. |
