The sustainability manager your business needs — for a fraction of the cost.
Get an experienced sustainability professional working with your business every month — answering questions, setting priorities, finding efficiency gains and getting the work done.
For Australian businesses that need ongoing sustainability capability without adding a full-time role.
No full-time hire. No vague advice. Practical progress that can reduce operating costs and keep the work moving.
Your first conversation is with Penny or Jane, real people who will take the time to understand your business.
The work is already there. The missing piece is someone to own it.
Sustainability work often lands with an owner, operations manager or office manager who already has a full-time job. The result is stop-start progress, unanswered questions and tasks that only become urgent when a customer, tender or reporting deadline arrives.
Someone is finally responsible
The work no longer belongs vaguely to everyone and practically to no one.
Questions are answered sooner
You have someone who knows the business and can respond without beginning from scratch each time.
Progress becomes consistent
Small actions continue between larger projects, rather than sustainability disappearing until the next deadline.
Better information, better decisions
Usage, costs, actions and evidence become more visible to management.
Cost savings are part of the brief
From the outset, we look for avoidable costs in energy, water, waste and materials alongside the wider sustainability work.
Agree the priorities. Get the work done. Keep moving.
Most engagements begin with a three-month plan and an agreed allocation of monthly hours. The plan gives the work direction; the ongoing relationship gives it momentum.
Understand the business
We start with what is changing, what keeps landing on your desk and where work is getting stuck.
Agree the plan
Together, we set the priorities and expected outputs for the next three months.
Deliver the work
Your sustainability manager completes the agreed work, answers questions and adjusts priorities when something urgent arises.
Review and reset
We show what has been completed, what has changed and what should happen next, then agree the next cycle.
More than advice. Someone who owns the work.
You get a named sustainability manager, an agreed plan and a set number of hours each month. They become the person you call when a question lands, a deadline appears or an important piece of work needs to move.
Your sustainability point person
A real person who gets to know your business, answers questions and helps you make well-informed decisions.
- Human judgement, not an automated answer
- Someone who understands the history and context
- Access to wider TEG expertise when required
A clear plan and steady momentum
We agree what needs to happen over the next three months, tackle the highest-value priorities and keep progress visible.
- Priorities agreed in advance
- Work completed rather than continually deferred
- Regular progress and next-step reviews
Flexible capacity without a full-time hire
Choose the level of monthly support that suits your business. Priorities can change when urgent work arises, while the overall workload remains clear and agreed.
- Monthly capacity matched to your needs
- No salary, recruitment or employment overhead
- More support available when circumstances change
Find savings while getting the sustainability work done.
One of the first things we look at is how your business uses energy, water and materials, and manages waste. Better monitoring, stronger controls and targeted changes can uncover avoidable costs that have been hiding inside day-to-day operations.
In some businesses, the efficiencies identified may offset part or all of the cost of the service.
Let's look for the savings →Work matched to your priorities.
Every engagement is different, but the work usually falls into three areas.

- Templates for recording data, incidents and follow-up
- Staff guidance and training
- Procurement policies and supplier practices
Find and track efficiency gains
- Energy, water, waste and materials monitoring
- Identifying quick wins and avoidable costs

- Researching equipment and operational improvements
- Tracking actions, savings and implementation
- Simple dashboards for management
Respond to customers and reporting demands
