Commercial Sustainability Workshops & Advisory
I help businesses & leadership teams build commercial sustainability strategies through workshops followed by advisory to make them stick.
Hello, I’m Gavin Miller and I’m a Commercial Director working with leadership teams to turn sustainability from a growing business pressure into clear, commercially grounded strategy.
I design and run commercial sustainability workshops, supported by diagnostics and follow-up advisory, focused on where sustainability actually shows up: business models, operations and supply chains.
The work is live and hands-on. Workshops are used to align teams, tackle real commercial briefs, test ideas and embed sustainability into day-to-day operations — not to deliver generic ESG theory or reports.
This isn’t training or traditional sustainability consultancy. It’s facilitated, live-action strategy work designed to create clarity, momentum and outcomes that stick.
I work with founders, MDs, senior leadership and sustainability teams who want sustainability to support commercial performance, not sit alongside the business.
