Answering Sustainability Questions in Tenders and Grants
When it comes to bids and funding applications, sustainability matters.
We help you turn your sustainability activity into clear, credible responses that meet tender and grant requirements — and position your business as a stronger, more competitive choice.
More and more tenders and grants now include detailed sustainability, ESG and social value questions. For many businesses, these can be the hardest parts of the application, often due to unclear requirements, a lack of data, and just general uncertainty about how to best present your impact.
That's where we come in.

tender and grant responses
Whether you need a Sustainability Policy or Procedure, support with a specific tender question, or a library of template answers your team can reuse, we have the expertise to tell your sustainability story.
Our skill lies in turning your sustainability activity into clear, credible language that scores well with evaluators and strengthens your overall bid. Whether you're looking for funding or pitching for work, we've got that part of your application covered.
ImpactIO
framework
We can begin with the ImpactIO framework, designed to help you gather and organise your sustainability efforts and get a clear picture of where you stand.
Complete it yourself or share it around the team, and receive a Brace For Impact working session to guide your answers if needed. It’s a practical starting point for beginning to communicate your sustainability story, helping you set baselines, identify gaps and plan your next steps.
Ongoing reporting tools
We build a 12 month framework of metrics to track, so you can keep building on the sustainability work you’ve already started.
By the end of the year you’ll have the evidence needed to pull together a full Sustainability Report or Carbon Reduction Plan, showing clear, credible progress to stakeholders.

Why
now?
For your CUSTOMERS
Consumers want to support companies that are doing the right thing, with 70% saying they want to hear what businesses are doing to be more sustainable.
And for many small businesses, silence doesn’t mean inaction. It often comes from worries about greenwashing, or uncertainty about how to talk honestly about the early stages of a carbon reduction journey.
Don't let your good work go unseen. We bring together your different activities into one cohesive story, giving your customers confidence that they're spending their money wisely.
For your COMPANY
Sustainability is a competitive advantage. From client proposals to sector recognition, a clear, accessible sustainability page helps position your business as a leader, not a follower.
Far from being a ‘nice to have’, a /sustainability webpage is a commercial asset. It shows you’re taking action and making progress, while giving you ready-made content for tenders and bids, PR activities and sales conversations.
For your Employees
Without clear sustainability ambitions, hiring is harder - 22% of prospective employees will now only join businesses that show sustainability is embedded across their operations.
Hiring people that care about the world makes good business sense. Make sure you’re attracting top talent by demonstrating that you are addressing their priorities, providing answers to their questions in an engaging way.
For your Planet
Whether your sustainability efforts are driven by environmental or financial motivations, sharing your impact is good for business and it's really good for the planet.
Open sustainability communications for small businesses encourages knowledge sharing, collaboration and innovation, inspiring the kind of meaningful, large-scale change the world needs.
