How You Benefit
Helping You Change With The Climate
The priority for the Verdantix research team is to deliver relevant, timely information and advice to speed up and support your business decisions. We help you to:
- Enhance financial performance with your climate change strategy. Climate change is an important business issue but for company executives the priority is financial success. Our research is designed to help firms grow profits with their climate change strategy taking into account uncertainties like oil prices, regulations, extreme weather events and carbon taxes.
- Improve margins with validated cost savings. Greenhouse gas emissions targets, growing investor and customer pressure and high energy prices force firms to mitigate climate change impacts. Verdantix helps you to identify best practices, plan for future challenges, select suppliers to assist your mitigation program and benchmark your performance.
- Exploit adaptation opportunities for topline growth. We believe that company profitability is essential to fund the transition to a low carbon economy. By accessing Verdantix research you benefit from a continuous stream of market analysis, survey data, forecasts and throught leadership that will enable you to define and launch adaptation plans that generate topline growth.

Saving You Money
Business challenges triggered by high oil prices, climate change legislation and shifting customer preferences will force firms to spend money on change projects, strategy development and reputation management. Our syndicated research model is designed to:
- Offer cost effective advice. You can benefit from advice to craft your response to climate change but advice can be very costly. We are a subscription-based research firm so we spread the cost of data gathering, analysis and advice generation across multiple clients. The economics of our business model mean that you benefit from a much more cost effective service than alternative providers such as consultants, industry events or custom research.
- Leverage best practices. We conduct best practices research projects that identify cost savings in detailed waterfall charts in areas such as energy management, purchasing renewable energy, carbon trading and supplier selection. Our objective is to help you save money on the projects you launch by documenting best practices.
- Avoid reinventing the wheel. As spending on climate change mitigation and adaptation increases, firms risk investing in projects which fail to take off. For instance, many areas of "cleantech" such as biofuels, fuel cells for passenger cars and carbon capture and storage are commercially unproven. Our research and advice can help validate major decisions as well as question the likelihood of success. Failure avoidance can save your firm millions of pounds.
Challenging Conventional Wisdom
Verdantix is an independent research firm. We ensure that our advice is not sugar-coated. When our analysis contradicts conventional wisdom we go right ahead and publish our findings. From experience we know that people leading change projects in large firms need independent analysis to:
- Overcome internal roadblocks. Climate change is a global phenomenon and its impacts will be felt in regions far away from the global HQ. Our independence, integrity and data-driven insights help you to overcome internal inertia. We develop bold business ideas to help you wake up sleeping executives.
- Critique questionable business cases. Using our data and expertise Verdantix helps you critically vet business cases as a set of "third eyes" free from company politics. We offer research clients a half-day or full-day customised decision support service to jointly tackle the toughest business problems.
- Provide independent thought leadership. Whether or not you believe in the advent of a low carbon economy the reality is that a wide range of ambitious multi-billion pound projects have been launched to profitably tackle climate change. Verdantix can provide you with big ideas to stimulate the strategic thinking in your firm.
