We recognise that to integrate sustainability into core activities and operations also requires the knowledge and experience of specialist business practitioners. Dr Factor, therefore, is working closely with a group of external advisors with experience in accounting, marketing, clean technologies, IT and SME owner/managers with a long standing experience of integrating sustainability into their operations.   Their input will provide significant value adding potential for our clients.

We also have strong capabilities in the area of carbon trading and the implications for SMEs and supply chains.
