Nick Anderdon, CFO, Freddie’s Flowers.
We are a group of sustainability leaders that care deeply about the planet and the people on it, whilst understanding the commercial reality of business. We recognise that many smaller businesses don't need fulltime sustainability personnel, but they do still need sustainability expertise to ensure they stay compliant with legal requirements, match customer expectations, and identify revenue generating and cost saving opportunities.
We partner your business with an experienced sustainability professional to provide ongoing advice and support in all aspects of sustainability, including:
The OCSO service is designed for growing and established mid market businesses that want to make progress on sustainability but don't yet want, need, or can't find, a full-time Sustainability Director or Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO).
We provide ongoing expert sustainability advice and guidance as you need it - this is not project based. Crucially, we become part of your business - we are not consultants trying to upsell you more work - we are on your side, working with you. Every member of our team has run their own business, so we understand the pressures you face. Read more about our team.
After an initial call to get to know your business and the challenges you are facing, we match you with one of our OCSO partners. They become part of your leadership team on a fractional basis to develop and drive your approach to sustainability.
A fractional leader is one who divides their time between several businesses, providing each business with top-level expertise for a fraction of the price. Fractional is also known as on-demand, part-time, plural, or portfolio.
Because we are confident in the value we can add there is no lock in or minimum term commitment. You can tell us to stop at any point. It’s as simple as that. We are also fully engaged with a programme of knowledge-sharing and training to develop sustainability expertise in your business.
Every OCSO partner is hand-picked because they have 20+ years of experience and a broad knowledge of sustainability across different sectors. But signing up to the OCSO group means you also get access to the knowledge of the wider OCSO network. So if your OCSO partner is not an expert on a particular challenge you face – someone in the network will be.
Get in touch for an initial chat with one of our experts to find out if the OCSO service is right for your business.
In today's market, sustainability isn't a sideline issue.
It's business strategy.
