Welcome
About Us
Our Experience
We set up Sustainability Co. in December 2020 to help local authorities, universities and institutions respond to the climate emergency.
The world’s climate is at a tipping point. We need to act quickly to protect our planet and future generations.
As organisations declare climate emergencies and set stretching carbon reduction targets, many need help on sustainability. Often with limited resources and budgets, delivering carbon reduction at scale is a challenge for many
Sustainability Leadership
Jeff Laidler is the Founder and Managing Director of Sustainability Co. He is a sustainability leader, start-up specialist and speaker with 26 years’ experience in the public and private sector.
Jeff has gained approval for over £100 million investment in two UK city-scale heat networks - Notting Dale Heat and energetik. He has also helped establish five successful UK sustainability start-ups and the OrbisEnergy offshore wind business incubator.
Sustainability Co. fulfils the role of Heat Network Programme Manager for:
1) The Cambridge City Centre Heat Network, working closely with 21 Strategic Partners - Cambridge City Council (lead client), University of Cambridge, Anglia Ruskin University, 17 city-centre Colleges and Cambridgeshire County Council.
2) The Notting Dale Heat Network. Kensington and Chelsea Council has successfully taken this project from feasibility to construction, being selected by government as an exemplar of community engagement. We are putting a green recovery at the heart of a Grenfell recovery, setting the bar for sustainable urban living.
Sustainability Co. has also provided heat network expertise to The V&A, working closely with Imperial College, the Natural History Museum and Science Museum to help decarbonise the South Ken ZEN heat network.
