Our Story of Growth and Impact
Our Story of Growth and Impact
Eight Versa’s story is one of a purpose-driven growth. It began over 17 years ago as a specialist consultancy focused on the built environment, making buildings and construction projects inherently sustainable and compliant. This foundation gave us a deep, technical understanding of environmental science.
Over the years, we recognised that true impact required a broader scope, so we expanded our expertise to provide multiple, holistic sustainability services across a wide range of industries, shifting from a niche technical consultant to a full-spectrum sustainability partner.
- From Built to Corporate: We now offer comprehensive solutions for the entire corporate enterprise, covering everything from Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) strategy to Net Zero Carbon implementation.
- A Track Record of Success: In those 17+ years, we have successfully delivered over 4,000 sustainability projects, including numerous award-winning schemes. This is a powerful testament to our effectiveness and expertise.
- Pioneering Innovation: Our growth includes founding our partner company, Natural Carbon Solutions, which focuses on providing credible certification and verification for Net Zero commitments. We’re actively involved in innovative projects, such as using biochar for sustainable agriculture and coastal resilience in places like Kenya and São Tomé.
When you join Eight Versa, you’re not just joining a consultancy, you’re joining an experienced, multidisciplinary team – including architects, engineers, ecologists and environmental specialists that are dedicated to translating a passion for the planet into pragmatic, impactful results for every organisation we partner with. You become integral to the legacy of growth that is directly shaping a more sustainable future.
