Our Sustainability Approach

At Grendel Consulting Limited we’re moving towards the Triple Bottom Line concept for measuring business success and sustainability. We’re early on formalising this journey - and not perfect - but it is something that we take seriously. We have started to implement a range of environmental, social and economic strategies to enable us to minimise and reduce our negative impact.

Environmental

• We work remotely, where possible, and minimise travel otherwise
• We have begun to measure the carbon cost of our operations; this website costs ~0.01g of CO2 per page view
• We are exploring carbon syncing, that is ensuring we offset our carbon footprint at a faster or equivalent rate than we emit it
• We work digitally, minimising printing, stationary and other consumables

Social

• We work flexibly and communicate respectfully
• We encourage feedback from customers and prospects, embracing self-reflection and learning
• We work justly and are exploring the Good Business Charter to reflect this
• We mentor engineers early in their careers, or moving into positions of increased authority

Economic

• We keep costs low through technology choices and virtual operation of the business
• We avoid ethical liabilities by implementing our social and environmental sustainability policies.
• We minimise debt and other financial liabilities
• We keep things simple and efficient
