We are honoured that the Useful Simple Trust has been named ‘Consultancy of the Year’ at the edie Net-Zero Awards.

The Awards celebrate organisations across all sectors driving measurable, systemic change toward net zero. What makes them significant is their focus on real impact: projects and businesses that are genuinely moving the dial on climate action. Being recognised among this year's winners reminds us of the scale of ambition needed, and the collective effort underway across UK industry. 

With our work spanning corporate carbon strategies, operational energy, and embodied carbon, the real measure of success isn't just in tonnes reduced. It is in the wider co-benefits we deliver, the industry collaborations we foster and the long-term shifts we help embed in how businesses and infrastructure projects approach decarbonisation. 

Jo Dobson, our Director at Useful Projects, reflected: “This recognition reinforces our commitment to driving meaningful industry change, partnering with businesses, major infrastructure, masterplans, and estates to achieve carbon reductions in ways that are both ambitious and achievable given their specific context.”   

Thank you to our teams across Useful Projects, Expedition Engineering, and Useful Studio, and to our clients who continue to push the boundaries of what is possible. There is still so much to do, but moments like this remind us why this work matters – and the importance of continuing to push forward together.
