Since our establishment on 4th April 2004 in the Netherlands, our core belief has always been that business is in a unique position to make an incredible positive difference in the world, when they succeed in truly aligning their values with the way they do business.

EMG's Advisory Board is chaired by HH Prince Pieter-Christiaan of Oranje-Nassau of The Netherlands. Members of the Advisory Board include prominent financier Gerrit Heyns and the former Danish Minister of Environment, Ida Auken MP.

Founded in the Netherlands - an advanced approach to sustainable development: The Dutch nation, historically, has an excellent reputation for its high public awareness and advanced approach to sustainable development, and the Netherlands are among the first countries in the world to implement Cradle to Cradle® and the circular economy on a significant scale.

Sustainability strategy, training, implementation & positioning
In delivering sustainability strategies for our clients and implementing them so that they create a stronger business, we make our consulting stronger in return. Our analytics and assessments are powerful tools that will enable your organisation to focus on what matters most, creating a sustainable strategy, transparent reporting and brand positioning that answers the individual needs of your organisation.

It is becoming increasingly evident that the way humankind has gone about its business on this planet is no longer sustainable. For some companies, this is felt in the growing pressure from outside stakeholders, and increased legislation. Other companies however, see Corporate Responsibility as an incredible opportunity to take their business to an entirely new level by truly capitalising on the essence of Sustainable Development, pushing far beyond the traditional benefits of increased productivity, reduced costs or enhanced brand value.

We specialise in the steps that need to be taken to achieve this, transforming sustainability strategy, corporate responsibility values and ambitions into tangible, profitable results.

In 2008 EMG became the world’s first firm with accredited Sustainability consultants for the marketing of Cradle to Cradle®, the closed loop/ circular economy model developed by William McDonough and Prof. Michael Braungart. We are also the first sustainability management consultancy to be a member of the European Sustainable Investment Forum (EUROSIF) and is also a member of VBDO and UKSIF. Our offices are in Cambridge, London and Amsterdam.

With sustainable business models such as the blue economy, circular economy, the natural way, closed loop and other CSR strategies we help corporations achieve tangible financial, social and environmental benefits while building long term success.

Over the years, we have received numerous international awards in recognition of its quality and effectiveness including most recently the American Summit International Leader Award and the Communitas Award for Leadership in Ethical and Environmental Responsibility.
