About Us | Terrafiniti

Terrafiniti loops Logo - terrafiniti.com


As a sustainability consultancy with an outstanding track record in innovation and best practice, Terrafiniti is dedicated to helping organisations manage their sustainability and ESG/CSR challenges with innovative, creative and effective tools that deliver results.

We help companies achieve results by developing strategic responses to build long-term value and uncover new opportunities.

Typically we work with leaders and sustainability teams in ambitious or leading companies who:

  • Need to develop a strategic and planned sustainable approach based upon business risks and opportunities – but are unsure where to start
  • Have a number of sustainability/ESG/CSR initiatives, but find they are largely reactive, not joined-up and not providing results
  • Are concerned they can’t communicate progress made in a structured way
  • Find it difficult to respond to customer or investor requests.

With 45+ years collective experience in consulting, our two partners have worked with blue-chip companies, SMEs, NGOs and government agencies around the world.

Terrafiniti’s Consultants

Dr Dominic Tantram | Founding Partner

Dr Dominic Tantram | Partner, Sustainability Consultant

Unlike many sustainability/ESG/CSR consultants, I’ve helped people identify the real social and environmental issues they need to tackle to reduce risk and build business value.
My approach is based upon tackling issues at their root, not treating the symptoms.

I’ve worked with sustainability managers, managing directors, CEOs, technical and operational staff and many others to cut through the complexity of sustainability and build realistic and tangible actions.

What can I help you do?

  • Build support across the organisation
  • Explore and identify a ‘corporate’ business case
  • Help integrate Sustainability/ESG/CSR across functions
  • Develop plans with your leadership/board.

What can I help your company/organisation do?

  • Identify and prioritise social & environmental issues
  • Examine issues in the context of global trends and your business situation
  • Develop vision
  • Explore ambitions
  • Establish priorities
  • Set goals, targets and KPIs
  • Engage stakeholders
  • Advance implementation plans.

Some headline facts

  • I’m a qualified and recognised sustainability expert with over 25 years experience in consultancy

What does Terrafiniti do?

We work with you to help make your business more sustainable; identifying risks and opportunities, focusing on the things that matter and helping you define your approach (strategy) and practical changes at an operational level (embedding and implementation).

What steps can we help you take?

We can:

  • work with you to identify priorities and to establish or refine your sustainability agenda. More on sustainability strategy >>
  • help ensure that you are fully up to speed on current regulatory requirements and keep you abreast of current thinking and wider trends.
  • work with you in identifying actions you can take to help towards a sustainable future and meet your social responsibilities.
  • design and implement management, monitoring and reporting mechanisms, to drive performance and communicate progress. Sustainability reporting >>
  • develop and implement sustainability training about the issues, skills and behavioural changes required to address them.

We also work extensively in sustainability R&D, with companies, universities and NGOs and can bring the benefit of this experience to you.

How we work

Our approach is friendly and open, working with businesses to provide advice and support that’s useful. If we don’t think we can help you we’ll tell you.

We provide a mixture of consultancy, research, training, coaching and benchmarking services. We determine the mix you might need after discussing your objectives, what you want to change and the results you want.

But if you really want to know more about us – just contact Dominic or Joss for a chat – we’re not scary (not really!).

Are we right for you?

Ambitious

We like to foster ambition – in sustainable impact and business success. That’s challenging and not for everyone.

Sector specialism

Some people think their business sector has unique challenges. You’re the expert on your business, we’re the experts in sustainability. We’ve worked with manufacturers, food, agriculture, packaging, finance, fashion, IT, gifts and charities from local to global.

Size

We’ve chosen to remain focused, specialised and networked. If you don’t like that then go to the big four. We’ll welcome you back later.

Cost

Our fees reflect our deep experience. Some don’t see the value in the bespoke support we provide. It’s a good test of commitment.

Change

We want you to achieve results, this typically involves asking difficult and uncomfortable questions to get beyond symptoms to underlying causes. Not everyone is up for the journey.
