At Foley Business Support, we help business owners and managers turn sustainability ambitions into clear, practical steps that make a real difference to your organisation, your people, and your community.

Whether you’re working toward B Corp certification, preparing for Sustainability Reports, or developing a Climate Action Plan, we provide hands-on support and expertise tailored to your sustainability goals and organisation size.

How We Help

We work with you to make sustainability achievable — not overwhelming.

Every project is built around your business needs — practical, credible, and designed for real impact.

Our Approach

Our approach is collaborative and practical.

We start by understanding your operations, identifying what matters most, and setting goals that fit your capacity and resources. From there, we help you design strategies and actions your team can confidently implement — step by step, with clarity and structure.

Our goal is to take the complexity out of sustainability standards, turning them into meaningful, achievable progress.

We're currently working with Deirdre to get B-Corp certified. She is really great at simplifying the process.

Deirdre came into my company and simplified the word 'sustainability' for me. We are a small company of 18 people but we now have a Green Team set up who take ownership of various elements of our new sustainability action plan. Everyone has bought into the strategy and enthusiastic about the future.

Here are some of the most common questions we get from clients

Do you only work with businesses already focused on sustainability?

Not at all. Many clients come to us at the very start of their sustainability journey. We tailor our support to your current stage, helping you take practical steps that make sense for your size, goals, and resources.

Can you help with B Corp or CSRD certification?

Yes. We provide guidance and hands-on support for both B Corp and CSRD processes — from gap assessments and policy creation to data collection and reporting. We’ll guide you through each step to make it achievable and stress-free.

Is sustainability consulting only for large organisations?

No — SMEs play a crucial role in building a sustainable future. Our services are designed specifically for smaller and medium-sized businesses that need practical, manageable actions without unnecessary complexity.

How do we know where to start?

We’ll begin with a simple discovery session to understand your current activities, challenges, and goals. From there, we’ll create a roadmap outlining the most effective next steps for your business.

What’s the main benefit of sustainability consulting?

Beyond meeting regulations, sustainability can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance your brand reputation. It’s a powerful way to strengthen credibility and show leadership in your market.
