Our Mission
Helping Businesses Navigate
Their Sustainability Transition
Alice T-S & Co was created to address the catch-22 faced by Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs). The desire to travel a more sustainable path whilst lacking knowledge, time and budget to put their ideas into action.
SMBs account for 99.9% of the UK business population. They’re the backbone of our economy. So why do they lack the right support when it comes to adopting more planet positive ways of working?
Purpose driven organisations are not only planet saving but they outperform their competition. From inspection, to navigation and demonstration, we’ll help chart your journey to better future.
All our services are aimed at unburdening you as much as possible. Help you maximise the opportunities provided by being sustainable – gaining you competitive advantage whilst simultaneously making the world, and your business, better.

How we work
What makes us different
Who we work with
As the David in the corporate Goliath’s story, we think SMBs deserve a little extra TLC. The ‘big guys’ have an army of resources available. SMBs, in comparison face the challenges of limited resources, time, and knowledge.
But, we know they have secret powers! Unlike sluggish big business super tankers, (that find it hard to change), SMBs are agile, free-thinking vessels, much more able to innovate and swiftly adapt.
We guide businesses towards a greener future – because every small business having a positive impact is a victory for our shared journey toward a better planet!
Extending your own team
Your business may want to make the changes needed for a more positive impact, but the process can seem overwhelming. When employees are already challenged and stretched, releasing the resources and hours to take a sustainable course of action may seem exhausting and difficult to prioritise.
Use us as much or as little as you need. We can offer anything from a one off sessions – talking through your options through to us becoming a part-time extension of your team (without the permanent headcount) – integrating our work directly into your existing processes and systems, avoiding unnecessary expense and complexity.

Our approach isn’t templated, it’s tailored. We believe success lies in listening, understanding – creating goals and solutions unique to your business.
You can expect us in your corner cheering you on, giving step-by-step instructions, meeting with managers, inspiring teams and answering questions every step of the way.

Doesn't matter where you are
in your journey
Whilst they’re awesome and we learn lots from them, we don’t only team up with established eco-warriors. We’re on a mission to support anyone that wants to sprinkle a bit of goodness into their business.
Whether you’re new to sustainability, need an expert on hand. Maybe you have tried starting a program without much success. Or you have got an established sustainability programme but need help talking about it.
We’ll help you make changes that can save you money, outshine your competition, give your stakeholders the transparency they crave and give you a purpose beyond profit.
Our attitude to
Frameworks & Accreditations
You might have heard of the UN’s SDGs, B-Corporations and other sustainable accreditations and feel pressured to “get one”.
We’ll help you get on the path to something great. That might include using a recognised framework or working towards an accreditation, but only if it’s right for your business.
That being said, undertaking a B Impact Assessment is a fantastic way to find out more about your impact. You can do the assessment to test the water – without having to get fully certified.
There’s no fear mongering or forceful tactics involved – just suggestions of what you can manage as a business.
SMBs we work with face
Common Challenges
- They know it’s important but worry about how much its going to cost them
- They’re too busy focusing on the practicalities of growing a business to make sustainability a priority
- They’re tired of umming and aaahhing every time a customer or stakeholder asks about their environmental commitments
- They want to talk about sustainability but don’t know where, or how to start
- There’s a lot of noise in the sustainability space – trying to figure out the dos and don’ts is a full-time job in itself
If you’re done with treating sustainability as a problem and are ready to turn it into an opportunity, let’s get to work.
I have over 15+ years experience of in sustainable and socially responsible transformation and communications. In SMBs like Red-Inc, Charities like Say Aphasia through to large multinationals like Lucozade Ribena Suntory and Grundfos.
After working in the corporate world I found myself drawn to work protecting the environment and society. This ambition led me to achieve an MSc degree in Corporate Environmental Management.
Back then I still found myself in a world where sustainability was still seen as a nice to have, a box ticking exercise used to bolster a company’s image. Travel forward to today, where that attitude no longer exists and thankfully, the world is a very different place.
The world is at breaking point and people, businesses and governments are realising the size of the challenge ahead. But, we can all be involved in becoming part of the solution.
Having worked on sustainability projects for companies of all sizes, I grew frustrated seeing countless SMBs being left out of the conversation. Some companies get more support than others.
Yet, when they contribute so much, what about the little guy? Everything was aimed at big businesses who have more money. I saw an opportunity to help.
Every step that a small business takes on its journey to net zero adds up – not only in protecting the future of our planet but in future proofing their business, reducing costs, attracting customers and creating new opportunities for growth.
That’s why I created Alice T-S – to give ‘the little guy’s the opportunity to make the right changes and talk about the results with pride!
