About

Operative Consulting provides solutions to help organisations understand and reduce their impact on the environment. We work with businesses across sectors to identify and implement improvements to their processes; infrastructure; and ways of working that will make them more sustainable. But this is more than just tackling sustainability from an environmental perspective, it’s fundamentally becoming a more sustainable operation full stop.

We believe there are clear environmental and profitability benefits, and our goal is to leave your business in a better position than it was beforehand. With those improvements baked into BAU.

Technology plays a key part in this, both in the obvious direct contribution to costs and the environment, but also in the perhaps less obvious role of the supply chain. Better decisions in the procurement space – what to buy and who to buy it from - can make a big positive difference.

Our engagement model is simple. and is designed in a modular way so we focus efforts in the right areas of your business, so that you get the most value.

Why Choose Us?

Our operatives have real world experience, and know that our solutions need to be tailored to each organisation we work with. Action plans need to be relevant and achievable within the context of an organisation’s business strategy, risk appetite and existing portfolio of change.

To achieve this we combine that real world experience with a carefully selected network of suppliers and partners, ensuring we have the right capabilities to meet your specific needs. We source and manage the right people to fit your situation.

Our goal is to help you make the right improvements to deliver positive change to the way you operate, so that you can achieve long term benefit.

Our ethos is to be relevant, pragmatic and no nonsense
