The Management Consultancy Built to Unf*#! the Planet

Our Mission

We believe in our generation’s ability to shift the climate story from disaster to triumph and that doing this requires deploying climate solutions at speed and scale. 

Our Mission is to help the world’s largest companies become the world’s largest solutions to the climate crisis.   

We do this by working closely with sustainability leaders within Fortune 500 companies to identify, address and reverse the environmental impacts of their operations and supply chains.

Our namesake is based on the most prolific pollinator in the forests of Patagonia, the firecrown hummingbird. This keystone species nurtures a critical relationship with its surrounding flora and fauna, championing a healthy ecosystem of sustained abundance that, without its presence, would ultimately collapse. It has an immeasurable impact on the world around it during its relatively short lifespan, reminding us that we must act quickly to solve the world’s most pressing issues.

This colorful hummingbird inspired us to create a keystone company vital to the success and resilience of our corporate sustainability partners. 

Our next 10 years are dedicated to empowering sustainability leaders at the world’s most iconic brands with the expertise required to achieve ambitious climate goals across their real estate and truly move the needle on solving our planet’s environmental challenges.
