Create comprehensive sustainability assessments with FuturePlus

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB)

The ECB is the national governing body for all cricket in England and Wales, supporting the game at every level – from grassroots to elite level. 

The ECB is on an ongoing journey to further its Environmental, Social and Governance commitments across environmental sustainability; equity, diversity & inclusion; social impact; and good governance and has been working with FuturePlus to pilot a programme to understand the collective impact of the ECB and its key suppliers and stakeholders across these areas. 

Its long-term ambition is to be able to track and monitor its broader impact using the same metrics as all of its suppliers, no matter their size, sector or geography. By communicating joint rather than individual sustainability and social impact using standardised metrics, the ECB will be able to demonstrate to its passionate supporter base the power of collaboration as an impact-driven, future-thinking group of companies.

Grind

Today, Grind makes more than two million cups of coffee a year across its London cafés, and twelve million more are made at home and elsewhere. That's one every three seconds.

FuturePlus’ work with Grind Coffee has ranged from helping to set up Grind’s charitable foundation, Better Coffee Foundation, to co-ordinating an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) for its iconic compostable coffee pods. An LCA analyses the environmental impact (and increasingly the economic and social impact) at every stage of a product’s life cycle – from raw material extraction (“cradle”), manufacturing and processing, transportation, use, and retail, through to waste disposal, reuse, or recycling (“grave”).

Graphite Capital

​​Graphite Capital is a leading UK mid-market private equity firm with an exceptional record of generating strong returns over many economic cycles. 

Graphite appointed FuturePlus with the shared belief that when the incentive exists to report both the sustainability impact and ambition, businesses will change in a way that benefits the environment and society. The FuturePlus measurement and management tools serves both consumer demand and the private equity industry’s data requirements, allowing Graphite to monitor its investment against industry standards, ESG indexes, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals across the five key themes of Environment, Climate, Social impact, Economic impact, and Diversity & Inclusion.
