Gears working in sync
When the individual parts of a gear are properly aligned and working together, they contribute to the smooth and efficient functioning of an entire system.
While desirability, viability, and feasibility are crucial gears, only focusing on them can harm well-being, accessibility, and the planet. Integrating social and environmental responsibility into business models and products today paves the way for a better future.

Frequently asked questions
The services proposed are aimed at organisations in various sectors (technology, health, finance, etc.) that want to integrate sustainable practices into their activities and meet their corporate social responsibilities (CSR). They may be start-ups, SMEs, NGOs, corporates or public administrations that do not greenwash.
By strategically assessing requirements and prioritising initiatives with both short- and long-term goals in mind. Setting environmental OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), for instance, could facilitate this alignment. By integrating eco-friendly practices, organisations can not only reduce costs but also enhance their brand reputation and profit.
By understanding the ecosystem, defining concepts that follow ethical and sustainable guidelines and facilitating the implementation.
By picking the right metrics, measuring the status quo, setting goals, and looking to improve continuously. The aim is not perfection right away—it is about getting better step by step, over time.
