Animal Welfare & Sustainability Consulting

Shaping
a better
world for
animals

You care
about
animals.

That’s why you’ve devoted your life to working with them.

You want the animals under your care to experience the best lives possible.

You are deeply committed to improving animal welfare, and you’re probably full of great ideas, but maybe it’s unclear exactly where you should start?

We're here
to support
you.

We work with animal care organisations who are keen to improve animal welfare and who want their investments and efforts to be guided by objective evidence from the animals.

We support organisations through the process of building their own science-based animal welfare improvement programs, so they can:

  • Make evidence-based decisions about which improvements to prioritise for the greatest impact on animal welfare,
  • Measure their progress in animal welfare objectively over time, and
  • Communicate transparently about animal welfare with their customers and communities.

It's a collaboration.

We specialise in animal welfare improvement — where animal welfare science meets the practicalities of the real world. 

We support organisations in improving the welfare of the animals under their care continuously, year after year, by facilitating the development of robust, in-house animal welfare improvement programs that are built from the ground up by animal caregivers and are based on ongoing evidence from the animals themselves.

Throughout our collaboration, animal caregivers are equipped with the understanding, tools, and confidence to continuously improve the welfare of the animals under their care. By the end of our process, animal caregivers no longer need to “ask an expert” what to do, because they have become animal welfare scientists, so they can “ask the animal” what to do.

We succeed when animal care organisations become evidence-based, continuously improving, self-sustaining generators of animal welfare knowledge.

Assess Your
Impact

Your decisions have a direct impact on the welfare of the animals under your care, as well as an indirect impact on animals in the wild. We apply a practical, participatory methodology based on the Five Domains Model of animal welfare assessment and the latest evidence in animal welfare science to support you with an objective assessment of your total impact on animals’ lives.                                  

Improve Your
Strategy

The more you understand about the impact you’re having on animals, the better you can strategise about how to improve. We work with you to set long-term goals and identify short-term actions that will improve animals’ lives and will be successful in the context of your organisation. We then support you in implementing these strategies and tracking their impact on animals’ lives over time.

Communicate Your Commitment

We know how important it is to your long-term viability that your customers understand how committed you are to animals and what you’re doing to improve their lives. That’s why we support you in communicating the science of animal welfare and environmental impact— including your evidence-based strategies for continuous improvement— in plain and simple messages, graphics, and videos that are targeted to your audience.

Do this and you'll have...
