Making change happen is what we’re about at EcoCognito - pushing clients' environmental and sustainability performance to new heights...
EcoCognito’s work is informed only by the most robust scientific research and data, and a commitment to transparency and ethics at all times; this ensures everything we implement stands up to the toughest external scientific scrutiny; to achieve real change, we cut through to what matters – delivering the sustainability boosting results our clients need.
And our consultancy support is uniquely driven by tech, digital and AI insights and innovations, enabling us to achieve stand-out results for clients.
As an integrated sustainability consultancy, our specialist services cover most aspects of sustainability – including climate,biodiversity, and digital, tech, AI and data opportunities and are delivered to clients internationally… across most sectors, for all sizes of company and organisation.
Our most popular consulting services cover:
Architecture, Design, and Development
Offering accurate and independent impact assessments that drive sustainability performance to the maximum, including environmental impact assessments and social impact assessments, site drainage advice and environmental input into building design.
Biosphere Protection: Biodiversity, Ecology and Agrifood
Net zero, carbon reporting, carbon tax, carbon minimisation, emissions trading, climate footprinting, strategic advice, and more besides; EcoCognito will help your company successfully address climate change.
Certification and Greenwashing
Guiding clients on the sustainability certifications and frameworks that will support their sustainability performance, and on the avoidance of greenwashing. We sometimes encounter inadvertent greenwashing where clients fail to take a systemic approach to scientific analysis when implementing sustainability initiatives – we can fix such vulnerabilities, quickly.
EcoCognito is immersed in digital, tech, AI and data science – enabling us to boost clients’ sustainability performance to new heights by embracing new and emerging technologies and innovation.
Digital, Tech and AI – managing their sustainability impacts
Our experts offer wide-ranging support covering internal operations, e-waste management, e-procurement, and how best to optimise load on external digital infrastructure, and datacentres.
While also offering sustainability opportunities, AI poses unique ethical and sustainability challenges – and we have already produced AI-related sustainability reports and ethical frameworks for multiple clients; beyond the ethical and energy implications, many don’t seem to be aware that AI’s projected water usage could hit 6.6 billion m³ by 2027.
Ecotourism and Ethical Travel
Working with accommodation and transport providers, venues, and governments to improve the sustainability performance of this problem sector… air travel only accounts for around 20% of tourism’s overall footprint in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, due to the far broader impacts of tourism infrastructure; yes, flying must be minimised – but we also help clients tackle broader impacts.
Environmental Management
Managing your environmental and energy performance by applying tried and tested management frameworks that work; EcoCognito can manage existing environmental energy management systems and processes, or start afresh. We have successfully worked with all the main environmental management systems, including ISO14001, EMAS and Green Dragon, together with various energy management frameworks.
In partnership with packaging innovation partners in SE Asia, EcoCognito offers advice on the most sustainable packaging solutions; we can even enable your company to track packaging waste from cradle to grave, ensuring disposal and waste impacts are tracked and managed in real time – countering error and criminality in the waste management sector. Instead of examining the direct impact of packaging material in isolation, we examine the science systemically; the complexity of packaging’s impacts on transport, handling, merchandising, shelf life, are immense.
Sustainability Strategies and Plans
Developing sustainability plans and strategies that boost clients’ sustainability peformance and engagement, utilising the latest research science and data, embracing the complexities of sustainability. Alternatively, we can support pre-existing sustainability strategies and plans.
Sustainable Sourcing, Procurement and Supply Chains
Implementing sustainable procurement policies and processes, deploying internationally recognised frameworks and standards to ensure clients’ sourcing and supply chains are as sustainable and ethical as possible. Many errors have been made by large corporates in this sphere, over recent years, underlining why it is crucially important to develop watertight strategies and frameworks.
Think Tank and Policy Input
Providing housing, sustainability and environmental input to policymakers… EcoCognito will willingly provide policy input to local and national government, political parties and others. The ongoing housing crisis is a particular policy focus of ours.
