ABOUT
“From the first phone contact, EcoSTEPS behaved like a consultancy that was keen to listen, understand and meet the brief as closely as possible, and they did that beautifully. I was seeking a 'critical friend' and Julian Crawford and his colleagues adapted to suit our needs, offering wise counsel and important insights, but not constraining us to an 'EcoSTEPS formula'. They gave me everything I needed and provided great value for money.” Dean Comber (Ergon Energy, Sustainability Projects Coordinator)
EcoSTEPS was founded in 1999 by Julian Crawford, Carole Young and StJohn Miall. Our aim was to explore what it meant to be 'sustainable' as Individuals, Organisations, Communities and Countries.
We've been attracted to some models and frameworks over others. Ones that we still hold in high regard include: The Natural Step (TNS), Ecological Footstep, B-Corps, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Integrated Reporting (IIRC) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SGD)
