Our Approach

“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. The new strategy has transformed how we see environment as not just a compliance task but as a key driver of efficiency and an opportunity to engage our staff and guests. Suzanne is highly experienced and a pleasure to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.”  Kate Anderson CEO, Adelaide Shores

“Suzanne is a highly experienced, skilled and versatile professional who played a pivotal role in assisting Adelaide Airport Ltd be the first Australian airport to achieve Airport Carbon Accreditation from Airports Council International. She also authored the company’s first climate adaptation plan and was a key consultant in driving the 1.17MW solar project.  She was able to provide crucial and effective support in multiple areas.” Stephanie Bolt, Environment Manager, Adelaide Airport Ltd

“Suzanne’s expertise in environmental sustainability led Uniting Communities to significantly reduce it’s carbon emissions and become the first South Australian organisation to achieve Carbon Neutrality in accordance with the Federal Government’s National Carbon Offset Standard. Suzanne was instrumental in Uniting Communities reaching this milestone with her leadership, management, consultative and communicative skills coming to the fore. I recommend Suzanne to any organisation wanting to lower their carbon footprint.”, Lee Sauerwald, Executive Manager Corporate Services, Uniting Communities.

“Red Rock Drilling would like to thank Suzanne Ridding of Sustainable Business Consultants for the outstanding service provided in assisting our business becoming Carbon Neutral.

We are very proud of this achievement and look forward to continued work with Sustainable Business Consultants.

We highly recommend their services to any business wanting to maximise their environmental objectives.” Johnathan Taitt, Director.
