Iceberg Group
Action Sustainability is recognised as providing organisations with the very best advice and support in the field of sustainable procurement.

The Iceberg Group is a subscription service designed to enable you to benefit from year round access to the UK's leading practitioners of sustainable procurement in an affordable and easily accessible form. The menu of services offered aims to provide organisations with the capability and confidence to understand and maximise the benefits of procuring effectively and responsibly.

"Think of your work in sustainable procurement as being at the tip of an iceberg, you are pioneering new things and it can feel pretty cold and lonely up there. The Iceberg Group provides you with strength in depth beneath the water. You will be supported by Action Sustainability, a unique and expert social enterprise whose core business is to inspire sustainable procurement. More importantly, you will enjoy the mutual support of like minded organisations who are learning how to procure more responsibly. Joining at any level will provide you with the support and confidence to take this important agenda forward."

Shaun McCarthy - Director, Action Sustainability
