Our Capabilities
Environmental policy and strategic advice
We have a strong record of working with government and industry at a senior level to develop the strategies that will make a difference and achieve the policy objectives sought. Our reputation is for providing a sound evidence basis for our advice and to present this in a clear and accessible format.
We work in the broad area of resource sustainability, focusing on materials and products.
Sustainable resource management
There is enormous potential to increase resource efficiency, with both environmental and economic benefits. Through waste avoidance, recycling, better product design and managing end of life outcomes, SRU can help deliver significant and measurable sustainability outcomes.
Environmental data collection and analysis
The saying ‘you can’t manage what you don’t measure’ is a simple and powerful truth. We are often the team that organisations turn to for the data on which to develop their strategic direction. Our speciality areas of data development are:
Recycling and waste activity
Consumption and use of products
End of life outcomes
Carbon impact of materials
We have a great deal of experience in primary quantitative and qualitative data collection, and regularly undertake extensive stakeholder consultation and broader research to develop the information evidence base that is needed to underpin a wide range of policy outcome driven, strategic and investigative projects more generally.
Beyond data collection, the next key steps are robust and insightful data analysis, interpretation and synthesis of findings. Our Director, Peter Allan, has over 25 years of experience in the environment space. Our capability to back up high quality data collection with the development of practical, actionable and well-informed findings, is an area in particular where we bring value to projects.
SRU regularly partners with a range of other smaller scale consultancies to ensure we offer the combined expertise and capacity for major projects. The following are some of our valued partners:
