Welcome to Northbeam Collective
Sustainability for small businesses
In a world that’s shifting faster than ever, small businesses are under growing pressure to be more sustainable.
But what does that actually mean?
Where do you start?
Do you know your Scope 1 from your Scope 2 emissions?
And why does it even matter?
That’s where Northbeam Collective comes in.
Northbeam Collective is here to guide small businesses through the sustainability spectrum, from the basics to the boardroom. No jargon, no lectures. Just clear, practical advice that makes sense.
Let’s be honest, most business owners aren’t sat at their desks wondering how to meet the UK Government’s target for EPC B-rated offices by 2030. You’re thinking about sales, clients, cashflow – and maybe why that new air conditioning system cost so much.
But what if your biggest client starts asking awkward questions about your supply chain?
What if they suspect there’s a modern slavery risk in your operations?
What if they want proof that the timber you’ve used is legally harvested?
Sustainability is full of questions like these. It can feel like a minefield. But with the right support, it becomes a map – and Northbeam is here to help you read it.
Take refrigerants. If you’re installing a new AC system, do you know its Global Warming Potential? Would you know to ask for an R32 system over an R410a one? You don’t need to be an engineer – you just need someone who’s done this before.
Or what about that office refit? Fresh paint on the walls might look great, but is it low in VOCs – Volatile Organic Compounds – the stuff that can trigger headaches and harm indoor air quality.
We’ll break all this down for you, one step at a time.
Northbeam Collective is about more than compliance. It’s about confidence.
Northbeam Collective a boutique solution for small business owners.
Confidence that your business is making smart, sustainable choices – without the fluff.
Thank you for visiting Northbeam Collective.
I’m here to support your sustainability needs.
