GreenThink! ©

GreenThink! © is a process that aims to support companies in developing more sustainable solutions through existing and new products and services. Through the SUSCIN programme, a number of eligible small companies in the South East will benefit from this free service, provided by experienced consultants at The Centre for Sustainable Design (CfSD).

    

The GreenThink! © process is based on a clear understanding of your needs in relation to your existing/new product development and/or innovation processes, followed by an open idea generation (GreenThink! ©) session based on the information provided. The ideas are then filtered, analysed and presented to you in a succinct report with follow-up consultancy.

Support can help with:

   

  • greening of existing products or services
  • development of new greener products or services

    

This might include:

   

  • identifying opportunities to reduce costs through environmental improvements
  • identifying new market opportunities
  • developing new product and service concepts
  • identifying the implications of product-related environmental legislation
  • exploring opportunities related to low carbon product or services

     

   

"The GreenThink process helped us to identify new marketing opportunities and ways to develop these into successful commercialisation plans. The interactive sessions were also most enjoyable."

"GreenThinks allowed us the time to focus on important issues and generate workable ideas for future business opportunities."

"It was the best piece of business consultancy I have received in the last ten years. It has really opened up my eyes to what can be done."
Waqas Ahmad, Managing Director, Eco-Comply Ltd

    

"The GreenThink! process has helped our business discover new areas for development, and identified possible directions to move forward. The day was organised to stimulate discussion, offering up lots of differing opportunities and perspectives to explore further. A real ‘must do’ to refresh the thinking behind your projects and provide further areas of focus."
Richard Simmonite, Managing Director, Eco Geek Design Ltd
