Read below about our areas of expertise.
Energy & Water Management
The environmental impact of business operations have a direct impact on cost, corporate reputation, supply chain and many other corporate decisions. The need for good environmental practice is increasingly becoming essential in modern business to satisfy investors, regulators, customers, and communities where you operate.
Projective’s sustainable manufacturing services are targeted at the physical manufacturing operations and our aim is to improve how businesses utilise resources, energy, and water. As engineers, our approach is based on engineering principles through analysis of operational information then the delivery of the right sustainable solution. Reducing operating costs, improvement management information and engaging the workforce.
We have extensive experience in designing and delivering sustainability programmes to clients from a range of industries. We adopt a systematic approach to tackling problems by identifying the root causes and recommending solutions based on evidence. Solutions range from one off audits through to full programmes certifiable to ISO50001 or other world standards.
Unlike other consulting companies as engineers, we can deliver all solutions we identify ensuring the savings identified are delivered.

Renewable Solutions
We are very proud of our expertise and achievements in delivering Net Zero Carbon solutions for our clients. Once energy demand is reduced to a minimum practical level, clients must look to renewable heat and power solutions for their facilities.
The myriad of technologies available and how best to deploy and precure these can be a challenge to any business. Projective’s Net Zero Carbon services help to our clients understand these options and help them select, design, procure and build the rest solutions for them.
Together with technology selection and design, Projective can offer full planning and environmental assessment services through partner companies.
Paybacks for renewable solutions can be long and businesses often have competing demands for limited capital with other projects offering more attractive paybacks or they may be a higher priority. To support with this, Projective have developed 3rd party funding schemes where customers can fund the scheme through the purchase of the renewable energy over a 5, 10 or 20 year period. At the end of this period, the renewable asset is handed to the client for further use at no cost.
Where space and resources are accessible at sites, renewables can be directly connected, Projective are able to offer solutions for larger scale systems either connected by private wire/pipe or indirectly through a Virtual Power Purchase Agreement.
Offers Include:
- Solar PV
- Wind Turbines
- Battery energy storage
