EARTH POSITIVE CONSULTING LTD

What EARTH POSITIVE CONSULTING LTD does

Earth Positive Consulting Ltd is a Cambridge, UK-based boutique environmental consultancy founded around 2002 (firmographics lists 2021; the company's own materials cite over 22 years of expertise, implying ~2002). The firm is structured as a UK private limited company with 1-10 employees and is owner-operated, with Mike A. Kiragu Mwangi listed as Director. It delivers professional advisory services across six thematic areas: Capacity Building and Facilitation; Ecological & Environmental Services (including protected-species surveys and environmental/social impact assessments); Project and Programme Management (proposal development through donor reporting); Land Conservation & Restoration (including UK Biodiversity Net Gain support and tropical-region partnerships); Conservation Finance (blended-finance structuring for biodiversity projects and ESG-mandate support); and Climate Change and Sustainability strategy. There is no proprietary software, platform, or AI component; service delivery is one-to-one, bespoke, and quote-based.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with selective client engagement rather than standardized offerings. Customers are segmented into nature conservation organisations, donors and funders, universities and academic institutions, and private companies with biodiversity/ESG interests. Distribution is entirely direct consultation; no intermediaries, channels, or self-serve mechanisms exist. The firm cites strategic affiliations with BirdLife International, the Cambridge Conservation Initiative, the International Land Conservation Network, the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Programme at the University of Cambridge, and TP Staff Providers, which collectively anchor it inside the global conservation-finance and Cambridge-academic ecosystem.

No revenue, funding, or customer counts are publicly disclosed. There are no patents, certifications, regulatory actions, M&A events, or product-launch milestones beyond the firm's 2022 service-portfolio articulation and knowledge-resource publications (APAC Update; Africa Land Conservation at COP). Marketing is limited to the company website and organic social on LinkedIn and X. The business model is straightforward professional-services revenue per engagement, with pricing not publicly disclosed and contracts sized by project scope.
