Patrick Mc Namara, Sustainability Performance Acceleration

Accelerate Your Sustainability Performance

Are you a sustainability leader, responsible for sustainability in your organisation, or head of your company? Would you like to increase your sustainability performance and turn sustainability challenges into game-changing solutions?

I can help you develop your sustainability strategy to include new business models, positive advocacy, reducing carbon emissions and increasing social impact to achieve your sustainability goals: workable solutions because they build in conditions for change.

I can also help you breakthrough your toughest challenges by engaging with the human and values-based drivers of sustainability and change:

- Find leverage points that shift the system

- Prioritise hotspots to focus your efforts

- Shift mindsets, creating a new culture that supports sustainability

- Build resilience to get past resistance you face

- Sense what’s emerging so you can adapt your strategy

Advancing environmental and social impact is a complex challenge which requires collaborative action across your value chain and with stakeholders. I can help you build support, engage key stakeholders in new ways, and look deeply at the mindsets and culture that can propel your organisation forward toward a quadruple bottom line: planet, people, purpose, profit.

I accompany sustainability leaders and their teams by helping you assess your sustainability performance, identify top challenges, and discover pathways to increase your sustainability performance that transform your ability to lead change.

Set up a call to discuss how I can support you.
