WE ARE PRIME.™

We are PRIME. We believe that sustainable success in business is measured not only with balance sheets and income statements, but also by the impact we can make on our environment and society.

The PRIME Principles

PRIME Principles for environmentally-sustainable and responsible business.

We’ve developed a suite of PRIME Principles to help guide decision-making, management and procurement decisions throughout each organisation.

These represent statements of intent that, we feel, epitomise and clarify ESG’s (Environmental, Social and Governance considerations) for SME’s.  To help explain what they mean, each PRIME Principle has a corresponding set of ‘indicative behaviours’, that demonstrate the sorts of behaviours that satisfy the relevant Principle.

PRIME Self-Assessment

If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.

We have created the first industry-agnostic management tool to support SME’s in quantifying their ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance considerations) development and progress.

The scoring system is carefully calibrated to reward continuous iterative development (constantly making small improvements), rather than encouraging ‘set and forget’.

This is not a box-ticking exercise.  To make a real difference, we believe that the PRIME Principles need to become engrained in the organisation’s everyday culture.
