Strategic Relationships

Alongside our consultancy activities we have developed strategic relationships to meet the needs of our clients and further inform our work.

LearningHouse is based on New North Road in Islington. Our space is built to engender openness, professionalism and creative thinking, creating a uniquely inspiring and safe environment for learning and change.

Achilles Ltd
Achilles has been providing supplier data management systems in the extractives and utilities sector for over 15 years. Their business model is based on collaboration across industries, bringing efficiencies to both clients and suppliers. We have worked with Achilles on the E-TASC system being deployed under the Electronics Industry Code of Conduct to the IT and telecommunications industry as well as enhancing industry solutions in the utilities and extractive sectors.

Business Leaders Initiative on Human Rights
Supporting leadership | We are honoured to be connected to the leadership shown by BLIHR’s member companies. We have played a key role in the founding of BLIHR, acted as the secretariat during 2006/07 and are currently advising to the process. Member companies are ABB, Alcan, Arreva, Barclays, Coca-Cola, Ericsson, Gap Inc, General Electric, Hewlett Packard, National Grid, Novartis, Novo Nordisk and Statoil.

Knowledge to Action LLP
Measuring economic impact | In 2006 we formed a relationship with K2A founder Justin Sacks (formerly of the New Economics Foundation and with extensive experience in public procurement/regeneration) and colleagues to help companies understand the realities and opportunities regarding their economic impact on their geography of operation. We see this as way for a company to make the argument for their license to operate, support basic economic welfare, create a sensible basis for their community investments and use their purchasing power/practices to achieve development goals.
