About Us

How it started…

Future Shift was founded in 2019 with a bold mission: to redefine sustainability for businesses. For us, authentic sustainability isn’t just an ambition—it’s the driving force behind everything we do.

Since our founding, we’ve partnered with leading brands like Dunelm and Bostik, and delivered impactful talks across the UK, inspiring businesses to elevate their environmental performance. Working across a range of industries, we pride ourselves on delivering real, measurable change and empowering organisations to improve their impact.

Our journey began in Bristol, but in 2024, we made the bold move to East London, where innovation and creativity thrive. Now, you’ll find us in dynamic co-working spaces like ‘Second Home’ and ‘The Conduit.’

We are B Corp Consultants

We’re passionate about making sustainability work for businesses, and we know that achieving B Corp certification is one of the most powerful ways to achieve this.

Our secret? A winning combination of expert consultants and innovative software designed to seamlessly guide you through the process.

With years of commercial experience, we want to help you unlock real value from day one. From boosting your BIA score to driving stronger customer loyalty, we leverage the B Corp framework to deliver tangible and lasting impact for your business.

We’re proud to have successfully guided over 100 businesses to B Corp certification.

We Have Our Own Carbon Accounting Software

Our goal is to empower organisations to manage their environmental impact by providing the tools and insights needed to drive meaningful change. To achieve this, we developed a software that helps businesses stay compliant, take control of their impact, and reduce costs.

But why should your business conduct a carbon assessment? Beyond helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change, a personalised Carbon Footprint assessment offers several key advantages:
– Meeting the expectations of eco-conscious customers, particularly younger generations.
– Identifying inefficiencies to manage costs more effectively.
– Attracting investors who prioritise sustainability in their decisions.
– Staying ahead of evolving regulations that are shaping the future of business.

We are guided by our values

At Future Shift, our mission is simple: to help businesses drive meaningful, lasting change. As a proud B Corp, we believe in practising what we preach, holding ourselves to the same high standards we set for our clients.

We’re also passionate about supporting causes that matter. That’s why we dedicate 5% of our company’s time to not-for-profit activities, empowering our team to champion their personal missions. If you’re a charity or organisation in need of support, we’d love to hear from you.
