From Now is the sustainability consultancy within the emc3 Collective, helping organisations embed sustainability into the heart of how they operate, rather than treating it as a bolt-on. Working across business strategy, operations and live events, From Now supports clients in turning ambition into action with practical, measurable and commercially relevant solutions.
That includes helping clients set tangible sustainability goals, integrate them into event planning and delivery, strengthen community impact, and create the internal engagement, communications and tools needed to make progress stick.
From Now believes sustainability should be built into every level of a business and reflected in the experiences it creates, with an approach that considers environmental impact alongside social responsibility, inclusion and long-term cultural change.
