Climate Change & Renewable Energy

There is a growing consensus between business, government, scientists, academics and the wider community that climate change is both a reality and a risk.  This recognition may bring despair, opportunity and the potential for individual and community empowerment. Many vexatious questions may arise. Are we at risk? What can we do? What will it cost? What options do we have? Can we turn this to our advantage? And how do we cope with this stark reality at a personal and corporate level? eco2sys can assist with a range of services including:

• Climate Change 101
• Diagnostics and baseline determination
• Climate change strategy & adaptation
• Greenhouse emissions information management systems
• Risk assessments & mitigation
• Verification & auditing
• Carbon accounting

• Energy efficiency opportunities
• Carbon abatement, emission reduction strategies and processes

performance improvement

Most organisations function in a competitive environment whereby operational efficiency and effectiveness is paramount. Traditionally the focus has been on financial bottom line performance with little attention paid to the environmental and people dimensions. We work with organizations to provide innovative solutions that not only deliver results in the traditional sense but also demonstrate that what is good for the environmental and the community can help deliver even better performance:

• Strategic planning & business planning
• Operational improvement and effectiveness
• Revenue growth
• Cost reduction
• Feasibility studies
• Supply chain and logistics optimization
• Sustainable life cycle management
• Key performance indicator development and Balanced Scorecard
• usiness system integration and optimization

• Assessment, baseline and diagnostics
• Performance improvement, integration, metrics
• Sustainability policy & strategy development
• Integrated sustainability management systems
• Resource and materials efficiency in product and solution design

Business development

Being able to identify opportunities for business improvement, provision of services, or simply a new and possibly innovative way of doing something can be the spark that ignites personal enthusiasm and bring parties together in a mutually beneficial manner. This may require exploration, innovation, assessment and development. We offer this in the areas of:

• Strategic opportunity assessment
• Feasibility studies for startups
• Clean technology
• Bio-fuel startups

Health, Safety, Environment, Quality management systems

The Health, Safety and Environment requirements of organizations are both similar yet quite different. They share a common improvement philosophy based on continuous improvement (ISO14001, AS4801) and often include risk (AS4360) and quality (ISO9000). Yet the skills required to provide first rate Environmental outcomes can be unrelated to those demanded for Safety and Well-Being.

The opportunity exists to take HSE well beyond compliance and place it, indeed integrate it, with the core of the business. Emerging requirements to manage climate change information, emissions monitoring, GhG inventories and reporting (GhG Protocol) can be effectively responded to, which in turn can help businesses satisfy functions such as emissions trading and consolidated sustainability reporting (GRI).

We have extensive experience working with the evaluation, selection, design and implementation of powerful enterprise wide HSE application systems such as SAP’s EH&S, RMT’s First Priority enterprise, Oracle, resulting in the support the delivery of additional value resulting in significant cost savings and performance improvement.

We provide the following:

• Business requirements specification and assessment
• Software and product evaluation and selection
• Management information system strategy
• Business solution design
• System Implementation
• Risk integration
• Reporting, analysis, knowledge management and business intelligence
• Linkages with Sustainability Reporting

Facilitation, & Training

Effective communication and learning is central to smart organizations. Skilled people are responsible for much of the true value-adding that occurs in business, regardless of level or function. To tap this potential through nurturing, supporting and rewarding the desired behaviours desired outcomes may be illusive, and it can be hard to measure. Deane recently trained and was accredited as a facilitator for ‘Be The Change’ symposium (a holistic experiential behavioural change program that offers the potential to radically change how we see ourselves in relation to our impact on the planet). Be The Change is underpinned by the three guiding principles: 1. Environmental Sustainability   2. Spiritual Fulfillment   3. Social Justice.

We adopt a pragmatic and experiential approach to:

• Course design
• Training needs analysis
• Lecture syllabus design and delivery
• Workshop facilitation
• Stakeholder engagement
• Creativity & innovation
• Change management

Project management

Project management can be easily misunderstood as it can range from simple, small projects with limited scope, management of resources, budgets, people and complexity. Or it can be the converse and require a completely different level of sophistication and matching expertise. We have decades of strong proven project management expertise, across a range of methodologies (Ascendant, GDPM, Raise, PRINCE), industries and software tools, which allow us to support:

• Business system integration
• Small and large projects
• Project risk management
