At 4xi Global Consulting, we’re dedicated to protecting the planet for future generations. Through our Sustainability Simplified© practice, we champion the belief that doing the right thing is always the right thing to do. That’s why we’re stepping up to create meaningful, tangible change.
Earlier this year, we took a significant step forward by launching our first reforestation project in Madagascar, partnering with trusted sustainability platforms to make an impact. For every project we complete, we plant trees on behalf of our clients and our team - a gesture that symbolizes our shared commitment to a healthier planet.
Real Impact, Tangible Results
To date, we’ve planted over 160 trees, offsetting 160 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
Madagascar’s mangrove forests hold immense ecological value - with 4X the carbon sinking power per hectare compared to rainforests. Unfortunately, these forests are rapidly disappearing, with 20% lost in recent decades.
By contributing to their restoration, we’re helping:
Prevent coastal erosion: protecting over 1.1 million acres of mangroves.
Support local ecosystems: where 30% of coastal fish species rely on mangroves at some stage of their lifecycle.
Fight climate change: by capturing and storing CO2 effectively.
A Shared Journey Toward Sustainability
We take pride in turning our words into action. Every tree planted not only makes a difference but demonstrates our unwavering commitment to sustainability. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to continue growing - one project, one tree at a time.
Together, we can make a difference. Ready to join us on this journey?
ACTION + IMPACT
I’ve made it my mission to provide businesses with simple, concrete steps they can take to become more sustainable. As part of a variety of initiatives to raise awareness, education, and translate the often complex into easy to consume information. I launched the webcast ACTION+IMPACT this month.
The first in the series was an extremely insightful broadcast on upcycled foods - the equivalent of 1.8 Billion meals fails to leave the farm gate every single year! Upcycled foods plays a hugely important role of innovating ways and products that get these valuable resources introduced into the food chain.
In addition to ACTION+IMPACT, each week, I’ve been releasing 10 actionable steps for businesses to take in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs offer a structured framework for acting across a range of environmental and social issues - whether it's reducing food waste, adopting clean energy, or promoting responsible sourcing. These weekly steps make the global SDGs more approachable for organizations, offering clear, digestible actions they can start implementing today.
RESOURCES: Publications, webinars & podcasts
See below a series of publications, webinars and podcasts that will help you on your journey to a sustainable future:
