Client Overview

The Wright Group, a progressive and values-driven organisation, has embraced sustainability as a core pillar of its business strategy. With strong leadership and a committed team, the company proactively implemented environmental best practices, setting a standard for others in their sector.

The Challenge

The Wright Group faced the challenge of building a robust sustainability strategy within a complex operational structure. With indirect delivery routes and reliance on third-party logistics, calculating accurate Scope 3 emissions, particularly around mileage and packaging it was a hurdle. In addition, early engagement with suppliers revealed inconsistencies in sustainability data and practices, requiring a cultural shift throughout the supply chain.

The Solution

Working alongside CG Business Consulting, The Wright Group carried out a detailed carbon footprint assessment and successfully achieved ISO 14001 certification. This process included implementing strong environmental management systems and tightening supplier requirements around emissions data and sustainable packaging.

Consultants from CGBC, including Caroline and Manuel, were praised for their responsiveness and dedication throughout the project. Caroline's personal involvement during the audit process was particularly

appreciated, with the client noting her commitment to ensuring everything ran smoothly.

Key Outcomes

• ISO 14001 Achieved: A recognised international environmental certification that now sets the company apart in tender processes and among peers.
• Enhanced Supplier Accountability: The company introduced stricter certification and packaging standards for suppliers, leading to stronger sustainability alignment across the value chain.
• Public Recognition: Sustainability milestones were shared via internal communications and social media, generating positive feedback and increasing employee and stakeholder engagement.
• Cultural Impact: Sustainability is now deeply embedded in the company’s ethos, thanks to leadership from project champion Michael, whose passion for reuse and waste minimisation inspired a broader mindset shift within the team.

Looking Ahead

Currently progressing through the Origin Green programme, The Wright Group is exploring further certifications and initiatives, including occupational health and safety management. Their early adoption of environmental standards puts them in an excellent position for future regulatory developments.
