Our purpose
AstonEco was formed to build the partnership gap between projects and their host communities.
We have seen that businesses, communities and government bodies win much by understanding each other’s fears / concerns / interests and addressing them before decisions are made and designs are done. Our job is to help this happen.
Why we do what we do
Each potential project can support or undermine local sustainable development. We need to understand what a community’s sustainable development journey looks like, and from this project designers need briefs that help deliver on this.
What we bring to the table
We understand business
We worked as engineers, community developers, entrepreneurs, communicators, analysts, project developers and stakeholder engagers. We know the challenges first hand.
We understand technical and environmental design
We partook in the design and implementation of innovative natural resource projects internationally.
We address perceptions and opportunities
We understand that project risks are about perceptions as much as (or sometimes more than) about facts. We know that projects need to address perceptions, outrage and mutual opportunities, as well as risks, hazards challenges.
We understand community partnerships
We have facilitated many developer - community interactions. We know how to make partnerships that work for both developers and host communities.
We are facilitators and project-co-designers
We're industry leaders in engagement that delivers agreements that empower a sustainable future for both developers and host communities.
