Why Sustacon?
Engaged
We are not mercenaries. We only work for companies with whom we match and can only deliver our best results if there is mutual sympathy and trust between the management and us. This is how our unique and fine long-term relationships with our clients are.
Love Brand
We consciously choose to be a boutique consultancy, where everyone is involved with the client. This is because we get energy from working with you and among your people. This is why you will love us.
Added Value
We guarantee that our advice is carefully underpinned so that our projects add value and margin to your organisation. We adapt to each context and ensure that advice is given in the client's language and culture.
Idealistic
We believe that companies can provide solutions to many social and environmental problems when they address them from their core expertise and with a scalable business case. We want to help you do that!
