“A mission worth believing in needs data worth trusting.”
The challenge
- No carbon data meant every client conversation required a 40-minute explanation
- Founders couldn't quantify how good their product actually was
- A business built on integrity needed evidence, not just intention
What I did
01
Deep business mapping
Traced the full service lifecycle from cremation collection to marine reef deployment with the founding team and their marine scientist.
02
Life Cycle Assessment (ISO 14040/14044/14046)
Quantified carbon impact at every stage of the service so environmental claims are verifiable, not anecdotal.
03
Sustainable Impact Assessment
Applied Triple Bottom Line framework across all core business components to surface both positive contributions and risk areas.
04
Operational Risk Review & SOPs
Identified key risks across health & safety and service delivery, and built SOPs to address them before scale made them costly.
Outcomes
- Faster client conversions – comparable data removes the need for lengthy explanation
- Investor-ready impact outputs aligned to ISO standards
- Leadership confidence in their own numbers
- Shared operational language as the team grows
Deliverable
