Work Discipline: B Corp support

“Grain is a very valuable and trusted partner. They have quickly and fully grasped our complex organization, our ambition to become a more sustainable company and what is at stake for us. We have really moved our green journey in the right direction with their guidance and support. Also, they are always positive and a pleasure to work with — something not to take for granted!”

“Pegasus had a challenge in identifying how sustainability could be measured within the industry and our own organisation. We decided that partnering up with Grain was without a doubt the best option. They had all the expertise in sustainability and in undertaking all the necessary research that we really valued and were able to offer the in-depth detail we were looking for. We were able to pull together a Sustainability Strategy for the future of Pegasus with positive results. Grain provided value for money and continue to stay connected regularly. We would happily return to Grain for future guidance and advice.”

“Grain has been the driving force to move Rupert’s sustainability programme from good intentions and high-level policy to more integrated reporting systems and management tools. The work with Grain identified the key material issues faced by the business, areas where we were doing well and others where we were deficient. It was important for us to work with a group with experience outside the extractives sector to provide some external perspective on the mining industry.”

“Plastics Europe recently defined a new purpose and strategy revolving around sustainability. We chose Grain to support us in articulating our strategy and to reflect it in a rebranding, with a new logo and visual identity, strapline, website including copywriting and marketing materials. Their work helped us gain consensus with many stakeholder groups, repositioning Plastics Europe and providing us with new tools for effective engagement and communication.”

“Working with Grain brought clarity and direction to our energy and enthusiasm, giving us a laser-focus on the key topics, approaches, and opportunities that would allow us to make the most positive impact possible.”

“Grain have been invaluable during our B Corp journey, providing us with clarity and support throughout. They have helped us recognise our achievements to date and guided our social and environmental plans for the future. Using their knowledge and experience, Madelyn and her team have ensured that our B Corp submission is the strongest it could be. But most importantly, they have inspired us to be a better practice for our team, for our clients and for everyone who lives, works and visits our buildings and neighbourhoods.”

“As a multi-generational family business established in 1947, here at Sharon Lee we have always put people first. We wanted to become a more sustainable company and to be able to communicate that to our customers. We chose to work with Grain because of their experience in fashion, and we’re very happy with the results, particularly the sustainability report which clearly sets out our goals and achievements.”

“Grain Sustainability have been invaluable in the creation and growth of Sustainable Amersham, from setting up the website and email account to assisting with social media output, and guiding those of us who are less tech savvy! Their knowledge and ability to communicate with the public has been incredibly helpful and enabled us to build the organistion from a small group of friends concerned about the environment to an organisation with 150 members, 665 followers on Instagram and 570 members of our Facebook group. We are very grateful for their ongoing input.”
