Consultancy Services

Strategy is only half the work. We stay for the build.

Three practice areas, one team, and a network of implementation partners, so an audit becomes a certification, a certification becomes a design, and a design becomes working infrastructure.

PILLAR 01

Sustainable Tourism & Travelife

For safari camps, lodges, and tour operators who want their sustainability story independently verified, and commercially valuable.

Consult an Expert
Certified sustainable hotel property
  • Travelife certification support: gap assessment, documentation, and audit preparation from first checklist to certificate.
  • Operational sustainability audits: energy, water, waste, and procurement reviews tailored to camp and lodge operations.
  • Community impact tracking: measurable frameworks for the local employment, sourcing, and conservation programmes your guests ask about.
  • Guest-facing storytelling: turning verified performance into marketing your team can use with confidence.
PILLAR 02

Off-the-Grid Building & Infrastructure

Building where the grid doesn't reach, for remote lodges, humanitarian camps, and eco-conscious developers.

  • IFC EDGE certification: software modelling for energy, water, and material efficiency, led by accredited EDGE Experts.
  • Sustainable design consultancy: passive cooling, renewable integration, and circular waste designed in from day one.
  • Implementation hub: a direct line to vetted partners for materials, energy, water, and roofing, so specification becomes procurement.
  • Remote-site feasibility: baseline audits that tell you what a self-sustaining site will actually take, before you commit capital.
PILLAR 03

Humanitarian & Corporate ESG

Environmentalizing humanitarian action, and giving regional businesses ESG reporting that stands up to scrutiny.
