Sectors

We have specific expertise in the following sectors

Retail & Food chain

We specifically focus on retailers' position in the value chain, and take on project management and advisory functions using a sustainable food systems perspective.

Real estate

With extensive experience from commercial real estate asset & investment management, we have a special transdisciplinary expertise in this field. While technical solutions and methods for energy efficiency, certifications according to BREEAM or LEED, and reporting standards such as GRESB are often in place, we help RE corporations employ a holistic perspective and future-fit sustainability strategy. 

Finance

The financial sector plays a key role in driving transformation to form a sustainable future. We help in the assessment and implementation of frameworks and initiatives relevant for the financial industry, guide double materiality analysis, and provide a holistic overview that integrates financial risk and sustainability risk.

SMEs

Being a small or medium-sized company brings opportunities to be fast-moving and agile, while having subject-specific sustainability expertise in-house may not be financially rational.

We provide cost-efficient, tailored services and use our extensive network to ensure the relevant expertise and experience is engaged to cater to your needs.

Approach

Your sustainability management partner
  • Social-ecological perspective

  • Behavioural focus

    We acknowledge that understanding human behaviour is a key to achieving sustainability transformation.

  • Commercial thinking

    We emphasise that successful sustainability efforts need to go hand in hand with sound business and profitability goals.

Our vision

Make it Circular is founded on the idea that efficient corporate action and future-proof business models need to be informed by valid scientific knowledge.
Doing the right things for the future of your company should be naturally aligned with what is good for the planet and future generations.
