Aspey Associates is proud to be a member of Business Declares and the fast-growing network of businesses that acknowledge the Climate and Ecological Emergency.

As founder and leader of the company, my ongoing commitments include:

  • Speaking out and raising awareness about the climate, ecological and social crises that are driven by a "business as usual" model of rampant consumerism, constant growth and lack of connection to the wider Earth and all the diverse life forms we share it with.

  • Becoming a net-zero business by 2025, reducing general consumption and carbon emissions (both in business and personal life) and making a positive impact on biodiversity through our sponsorship of various environmental causes.

  • Providing regular, free emotional and psychological support to climate activists - many of whom take huge personal and social risks in speaking out, taking action - putting pressure on government and industry leaders to take remedial, large scale, urgent action.

Business has a significant role to play and I gladly support organisations at any stage in their journey. I love to work with people who want to regenerate our world and have a genuinely positive purpose and impact, and who do not put profit above people and planet. I do not work with "climate deniers" or organisations that continue to do significant harm with no view to making a credible plan to transition to a better way. Because there is a better way!

Run by an amazing, ambitious and passionate team, JUST ONE Tree is making a difference, and helping us to do the same. From mid 2021 up to December 2022, Aspey Associates has planted 1,300 trees - each one representing a new client, a coaching session, a course participant and days on OD projects. JUST ONE Tree has:

-A real focus on the right trees in the right place
-A passion for combating climate change and restoring biodiversity
-Restoration projects both on land and in the oceans
-Brought innovative, engagement environmental education into schools as well as businesses. .
