Sustainability for SMEs
Helping Small and Medium Businesses Thrive in a Low-Carbon Economy
About Us
We work with the change makers, the sustainability leaders, those that know something has gotta give and something must be done....
If not you, then who? If not now, when?
But now, like no other time in history, is the time
to act. Why?
Why sustainability? In 2025 sustainability is a subset of quality assurance for your business – because it connects your business with the realities our society and our economies are facing and that has financial, legal and governance impacts. It is also worth noting that businesses that are not across this, voluntarily accept increasing business risk, and with the pace of change and disruption, this inherent business risk increases, year on year. But the flipside of risk is opportunity. Embedding sustainability as a business strategy opens the door to competitive advantage in increasing efficiencies and lowering cost, in engaging staff and enhancing workplace culture, in becoming an employer of choice and improving brand appeal in a burgeoning green economy upon us, esp now when Sustainability Disclosure Regulation has come into effect across Australia Jan 2025 rapidly changing the market.

Roslyn Holmes, Director, Holmes Architects.
We started this journey after joining Architects Declare, we wanted to go down this road as a learning opportunity to understand what we could do in our business to make a difference. We are passionate about designing environmentally friendly homes that are more sustainable - and if we can then bring that sustainability to our business practices then we are walking the walk. It was good to measure emissions in our operations and realise where we can improve, and then seeing the big picture through things like the SDGs - it's not just about built environments - there are many ways we can make a difference.
