What NET POSITIVE SOLUTIONS LTD does

Net Positive Solutions Ltd is a UK-based sustainability consultancy registered as a private limited company in the United Kingdom, founded by Nitesh Magdani to help organizations in the built environment sector deliver net positive environmental outcomes. The firm serves real estate developers, construction firms, property owners, local authorities, and corporate clients across the UK, Netherlands, France, Germany, and selectively in Asia (Japan), with engagements spanning ESG strategy, circular economy implementation, net zero roadmaps, sustainable design, and Pre-Demolition / Pre-Refurbishment Audits. Marquee engagements include the London Borough of Enfield Meridian Water programme, Sage Homes ESG strategy (2021), ABN AMRO-funded CIRCL pavilion, Marks & Spencer retail sustainability, Edge / Matsui Fudosan in Japan, and the City of London Pre-Redevelopment Audits delivered with Excess Materials Exchange, 3XN, and GXN in 2024.

The firm delivers services through a small core team augmented by a network of senior Associates operating on a project basis, giving it specialist depth without the fixed-cost base of a larger consultancy. Its proprietary assets include circular materials and sustainability frameworks, Pre-Demolition / Pre-Refurbishment Audit methodologies, charter and declaration development, and facilitation workshops on materiality, science-based targets, embodied carbon, and social value. The founder is a RIBA/ARB-certified architect with 20+ years of built environment experience, including his prior role as Group Director of Sustainability at Royal BAM Group, where he led flagship pilots (Brummen Town Hall, CIRCL, Circular House, Bijlmerbajes). The firm's reputational assets include subject-expert contributions to British Standards BS 8001 and BS 8895, co-authorship with Arup on circular business models, the UKGBC Natural Capital chair role on the Value Toolkit, and features in Nature, Autodesk Redshift, and Ellen MacArthur Foundation podcasts.

Commercially, Net Positive Solutions operates a professional services, project-based consulting model with multi-year engagements and custom pricing disclosed only via direct enquiry. Revenue, headcount growth, and contract value are not publicly disclosed; the firm carries no external funding and no parent company. The go-to-market is referral-driven and thought-leadership-led, leaning on content marketing, industry publications, podcasts, and workshops, with direct enterprise sales as the primary distribution channel.

Core offering

Net Positive Solutions is a sustainability consultancy that helps organizations in the built environment sector develop and implement ESG strategies, circular economy frameworks, and net zero carbon roadmaps.

These services are delivered through various engagement formats including facilitation workshops, co-creation strategy sessions, and stakeholder charter development. The company also publishes insights and case studies as a knowledge resource. All offerings are human-delivered consulting services focused on the built environment and construction sector sustainability.
