You've made the commitment to "Go Green" - but now
what?
Strategic Sustainability Consulting provides
organisations with the tools and expertise they need
to actively manage their social and environmental
impacts. Axios specialise in helping under-resourced
organisations implement sustainable solutions usually
reserved for large, multinational companies.
Our products and services can help you:
 |
Identify your core social and environmental
impacts |
|
|
Create a sustainability plan that aligns your
"triple bottom line" |
|
|
Calculate your carbon footprint and find ways to go
"carbon neutral" |
|
|
Develop a communications strategy that speaks
credibly about your commitment |
|
|
Manage your supply chain according to your values
and vision |
At Axios, we focus on adding value to your
business, firstly through profit improvement but with
a continued mind to the sustainability of your
business.
If your organisation has dedicated staff working on
sustainability issues, then we probably aren't the
right partner for you. On the other hand, if you are
struggling to understand the complex world of
corporate citizenship, wondering how you can translate
your values into actions, and unsure how to prioritise
your social and environmental initiatives, then
contacting Axios is a great place to begin.

Case Study
The Client
A four star and leading edge County Council with a
desire to be “The Greenest County”
The Challenge
The Council had taken the lead in the drive to ensure
that fresh quality foods are provided to schools in an
environmental manner and (where possible) from local
sources. Previously there were a large number of
deliveries to any given location, necessitated by the
separate delivery of frozen food, groceries plus fruit
and vegetables. These separate deliveries are likely
to be very inconvenient for the schools as staff will
need to be available for each delivery. More
importantly, the number of miles driven is excessive
giving rise to a large environmental footprint and
high costs.
The Solution
In addition to considering the practical issues and
truly understanding the hurdles for change, Axios used
a leading vehicle scheduling system to identify the
optimum warehouse location(s), the ideal mix of
vehicles and the best delivery routes.
The Results
A range of options were identified ranging from
training of existing suppliers through to a single set
of deliveries reducing the delivery miles,
environmental footprint and congestion by 60%.
