New skills
The implementation of low carbon business models requires a skill set which exceeds those of a typical consultancy firm. We are connecting the necessary economic, technical, ecological and political skills required.
We specialize in Consumer Goods companies encompassing the entire value chain (supplier, manufacturer, retail) with a focus on
- Strategy and Marketing
- Project and Change Management
(covering the implementation of low carbon business models incl. recommendations for strategically aligned CO2 offset options*).
We are also conducting studies for public clients, e.g. the European Commission, and participating in academic research programmes in areas such as "low carbon economy" and "consumer behavioural change".
*GreenBusinessConsulting is not trading or offering own carbon Credits / CO2 certificates.
