Our mission is to help businesses and investors successfully navigate the transformation through applying affordable ‘value’ based approaches to help sustain and enhance value for their shareholders and wider stakeholders.
Our purpose is to help create a more sustainable and resilient planet, allowing people, nature and businesses to thrive for generations to come.
We are honoured to have been voted ‘One of the UK's Leading Sustainability Consultancy Firms’ by clients and peers, every year from 2017 to 2021 in the Financial Times Management Consultancy survey. This is perhaps helped by the fact that the majority of our work is from repeat clients, highly satisfied with the service we provide.
An international network-based consulting business
Lead consultant, James Spurgeon set up Sustain Value in 2011 after 20 years building environmental economics practices in several international consulting firms.
By drawing on a pool of independent experts from across the globe, Sustain Value has over the past 10 years worked on an exciting variety of assignments for a broad range of clients.
Recognising the breadth and complexity of approaches needed to deal with issues such as portfolio analysis, climate change scenario analysis and achieving carbon net zero, Sustain Value has developed partnerships with specialist providers offering complementary services.
Between 2016-19 Sustain Value joined the Advisory Panel for the Natural Capital Coalition, an international collaboration uniting the global natural capital community. After this organisation merged with the Social & Human Capital Coalition to form the Capitals Coalition in 2019, Sustain Value has since been honoured to be on their Strategic Partner Advisory Panel.
From 2017 to 2022, Sustain Value co-organised the Net Impact Approaches conference with Consciam. This was a pioneering annual event that focused on impact measurement, valuation and target setting for net zero, nature positive and social equity impacts - i.e. Net Positive.

In all projects we apply rigorous analytical approaches that are ‘fit for purpose’ to ensure sufficiently robust practical solutions.
Flexibility
We are independent and open to providing our clients with whatever approach, tool and budget best suits their needs.
Affordability
We provide high quality outputs at affordable rates with minimal overheads using our cost-effective network-based business model.

We love working together with our clients, partner organisations, associate experts and others to best harness relevant knowledge and skills.
