EcoConsulting - UK & Lebanon

What EcoConsulting - UK & Lebanon does

EcoConsulting is a specialized Environmental and Circular Economy consultancy founded around 2003-2004, operating from a headquarters in Saifi, Beirut (Lebanon) and a second office on Seagrave Road, London (United Kingdom). The firm is built around a small core team of specialists in circular economy, green building, sustainable design, agroecology, and environmental education, supplemented by external experts per project. It serves start-ups, SMEs, organizations, industries, and communities across the Mediterranean region, helping clients adopt eco-building and eco-design criteria, reduce ecological footprints, and improve environmental stewardship. Its portfolio includes the first LEED Gold (March 2013, International College Elementary School) and first LEED Platinum (M1 Building) certified buildings in Lebanon, alongside ongoing policy and education work for institutional partners.

Service offerings are organized into five tracks: Circular Economy Transition, Environmental Education, Green Building Consultancy (including LEED advisory and carbon footprint analysis), Other Eco-Services, and Support to Eco and Social Entrepreneurs. The firm delivers these via direct enterprise consulting engagements and through training programs delivered on behalf of regional initiatives such as SwitchMed, GIMED, STAND Up!, FANTASMEEM, and UNDP, including a UNDP-authored curriculum on Climate Change and Environmental Awareness for youth in Arab States. Notable named clients include BLC Bank, Taqa, Nabil Gholam Architects, and Ladkani Office Solutions.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue, augmented by productized knowledge assets such as The Circular Hub educational platform, Snake & Ladder environmental games, the co-delivered Switchers Toolbox for green entrepreneurs, and recent (2024) policy papers co-published with Cewas. Pricing is quote-based and customized per engagement with no public disclosure. Go-to-market is dominated by enterprise field sales supported by content marketing through The Circular Hub, social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), regional eco-competitions, and institutional partnerships. The firm is privately held, founder/team-owned, with no disclosed institutional investment or M&A activity, and was recognized with the WeMed Award 2023 for sustainable and circular economy work in the Mediterranean.
