"We aim to leave our planet and its people in a better state than when we started."

That's the purpose of The Consultus International Group. The Leicester-based energy and net zero consultancy works with businesses and their supply chains to set and achieve carbon-neutral goals.

It also helps them use less energy, save money, and reduce risk in the process. Weetabix, The National Lottery, and Maersk are amongst the household names on its client list.

Its approach is one of 'continuous improvement' – a concept it also applies to its own business through its Consultus Way of Working (WoW).

Based on a small number of principles, such as everyone taking ownership and having a clear direction of travel, it underpins overarching strategy and every interaction. WoW offers tried and tested tools and techniques to encourage ongoing improvement.

It aims to support first-time managers struggling to set team objectives. And to create the right environment for cross-team huddles so employees can learn from each other, benefiting them and their clients.

The company introduces new starters to the WoW approach from day one. The 'Onboarding Academy' encourages problem-solving, accountability and teamwork to set the foundations for employees to be successful in a business where "the sky's the limit."
