Focus on Sustainability

Edward James Consulting* is a new flourishing enterprise design consultancy.  We help our clients take a systemic approach to architecting their response to the multi-faceted opportunity and risks that is sustainability – environment/planet, social/people, economic/profit.

6. *In a nod to the intergenerational nature of sustainability the firm is named after the founder’s paternal and maternal grandfathers (Edward F. Upward and James A. Hitchin).  Our logo is the shape formed at the intersection of the nested systems of sustainability:  the environment that wholly contains society, that wholly contains the monetary economy, overlaid with stylized letters e and j.   The colours blue, green, and yellow for water/sky, plants/life and the sun.
