About SBC

“We initially sought Suzanne’s advice on how to develop our company’s ESG Framework. We relied on her guidance to ensure we were strategically thinking about where we focussed our sustainability efforts.Thanks to Suzanne’s expertise, we were able to consult, develop, structure and present our framework in a way that created support right across the organisation. Suzanne also designed and delivered our external stakeholder consultations, testing the assumptions we had made in the development of the framework. Suzanne continued supporting us through our carbon footprint analysis, working with our team to build a complete and accurate data set, enabling our future emissions reduction strategy. During the months we have worked together Suzanne has always been professional, generous with her time and committed to delivering expert outputs. We wouldn’t be where we are today without her.”

“Suzanne was selected by Flinders Port Holdings to advise us through sustainability/ESG planning over several years. To that end she led our team in developing our first Sustainability Plan and Climate Adaptation Action Plan, this also included the production of our first full carbon inventory. We’ve found Suzanne’s approach to be highly strategic and engaging across our group of companies, we also appreciated her ability to understand the objectives required by our stakeholders’”

“Suzanne and her team were professional, highly knowledgeable about the whole process and guided us through to certification smoothly. I would highly recommend their services to anyone considering Climate Active certification.”

Suzanne has a a great understanding of the certification process and guided us through it professionally and efficiently.

“When we decided that we wanted to pursue carbon neutral certification there was a big gap between our enthusiasm and our capacity – basically we didn’t know where to start. We approached SBC to take us through the process of measurement and certification. We were immediately impressed with Suzanne’s “plain speaking” explanation of what we wanted to undertake. As she comes from a business management background she understands the administrative challenges for SMEs. She provided us with easily understood advice without scientific jargon and established a clear strategic timeline. We appreciated her orderly and systemised approach, her dedicated follow-up to keep us on track and her value for money, transparent fee structure and service model. We now see Suzanne and SBC as a long term partner to our business, not just to assist with our annual reporting obligations but also make us aware of new sustainability and carbon reduction opportunities and educate our management team and staff about the benefits of sustainability.” Peter Fuller, Fuller Brand Communication

“SBC helped us redevelop our environmental sustainability strategy. Suzanne’s approach was highly consultative, educational and practical, and produced excellent results.

Suzanne is highly experienced and a pleasure to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.”  Kate Anderson CEO, West Beach Parks
