Working
with Us
Serious PFAS transitions require serious partnerships. Here's what working together looks like: deliverables, shared responsibilities, and how we set projects up for success.
Clear expectations. Mutual commitment. Zero ambiguity.
How Engagements Work
PFAS transitions succeed when both sides know exactly what's happening, who's accountable, and what success looks like.
Scoping
Free discovery call. We assess fit—both ways. If we're right for each other, you get a statement of work within 48 hours.
Deliverables, timeline, pricing, success metrics. Everything defined upfront.
Delivery
Alternative candidates appear in weeks. Platform shortlists, workflow documentation. You test using your protocols.
Flexible & modular: engage with the services you need, when you need them.
Handover
Everything transfers to you: supplier relationships, documentation, system configurations, workflows.
You own the capability. We don't create dependency.
What You Walk Away With
Tangible outputs you own completely.
PFAS Alternatives Sourcing
Validated PFAS-free alternatives
Performance-tested in your application, not just claimed
Direct supplier relationships
Contacts, pricing, contract terms—all yours
Testing documentation
Protocols, results, specifications
Transition roadmap
Your team executes independently
PFAS Management Advisory
PFAS Platform evaluation
Independent review of software to match your needs
Workflow creation / documentation
Clear, repeatable processes for your team to follow
Data architecture
Structuring your data for compliance and reporting
Supplier engagement protocols
How to request, track, and manage supplier declarations
Implementation support & roadmap
A clear plan for rollout and team adoption
You own everything. We don't retain access, IP, or operational control after handover.
Who This Works Best For
We specialise in complex technical PFAS alternatives sourcing and independent PFAS management advisory. This approach works best when certain conditions align.
You're building internal capability, not seeking ongoing managed services
Your challenges require specialist intervention, not commodity solutions
Decision-makers can commit to validation and implementation phases
You want focused PFAS elimination expertise, not broad sustainability consulting
If this describes your situation, we should talk. If not, we'll help you find specialists better suited to your needs.
Partnership Requirements
Successful PFAS transitions depend on contributions from both sides. Here's what we need from you to deliver results.
Decision-making authority
Projects move when we work with people who can approve alternatives, commit to platforms, and validate workflows. Multi-layer approval processes slow transitions—direct access to decision-makers keeps momentum.
Technical team engagement
Sourcing requires materials specialists for validation testing. Advisory needs IT/systems leads for integration assessment. Your technical teams don't need to be available full-time, but consistent access is essential.
Transparency about constraints
Budget limits, timeline pressures, internal politics—share these upfront. We'll design within your constraints or tell you honestly if something isn't feasible. Hidden limitations derail projects later.
Openness to change
PFAS transitions mean changing materials, systems, processes. If current approaches must remain unchanged, alternatives won't solve the problem. Progress requires flexibility.
Investment
Project-based fees tailored to your specific requirements.
PFAS Alternatives Sourcing
Investment varies with:
- — Number of materials requiring alternatives
- — Technical complexity
- — Geographic supplier requirements
- — Validation depth needed
PFAS Management Advisory
Investment varies with:
- — Advisory modules selected
- — Platforms requiring evaluation
- — Integration complexity
- — Implementation oversight scope
Duration depends on project complexity, your decision-making speed, and testing protocols. Our advantage: we typically deliver up to 50% faster than in-house teams because this is our specialty, not an occasional project.
We work on fixed project fees, never commission. Our recommendations serve your requirements, not vendor incentives.
Shared Success Factors
Complex interventions carry inherent risk. Here's how we navigate challenges together.
If alternatives underperform?
We source multiple candidates assuming suitable alternatives exist—trials often run in parallel. Phase 3 validation in our PFAS alternatives sourcing service tests performance before production commitment.
If initial candidates don't meet requirements, we source additional options until we find solutions that work. This iteration is built into project scoping.
If suitable alternatives don't exist in current markets, we explore solutions with material science institutes. If nothing proves viable, we communicate this early—transparency saves time for everyone.
If platforms don't integrate properly?
Rare, because requirements mapping happens first in our PFAS management advisory. If integration breaks or workflows don't match operations post-selection, we pivot to alternatives or refund advisory fees. Forcing failed implementations helps no one.
If you need to exit mid-project?
Defined exit points exist at each phase. You retain all deliverables completed to that stage. No ongoing obligations or penalties. Sometimes project priorities shift—we understand this.
If delivery isn't meeting expectations?
Speak up immediately. If we can address it, we will. If we can't resolve concerns, we'll help you transition to another specialist rather than prolonging an ineffective engagement.
Practical Details
Geographic reach
Global sourcing networks covering Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific. We've established relationships with 350+ verified PFAS-free suppliers across regulated and emerging markets.
For management advisory, we track platforms globally but focus on solutions viable for companies operating in EU, US, UK, and other major regulated markets. Most engagements happen remotely—on-site presence rarely necessary.
Confidentiality and IP
Standard NDAs precede any detailed technical discussion. We describe requirements generically to suppliers and vendors during initial evaluation—your material specifications, formulations, proprietary workflows, and data structures stay confidential until you approve specific contacts.
All documentation, testing data, workflow designs, system configurations, and supplier relationships transfer to you completely. We retain no rights to your technical information or solutions we develop during engagement.
Collaborating with existing consultants
Yes. We've worked alongside sustainability consultants, regulatory advisors, and implementation teams on client engagements. Clear scope definition prevents overlap and conflict.
We handle PFAS alternatives sourcing, and PFAS management such as software platform selection, workflow design, and implementation oversight. Your other consultants handle broader ESG strategy, regulatory filings, or their specific expertise. Specialist collaboration works when everyone knows their role.
Mid-transition intervention
We assess what's working and what's stalled. Often we join when initial alternatives failed validation, platform implementations underdeliver, timelines slip, or workflows don't match operations.
We don't require restarts. We address specific gaps: source alternatives for remaining materials, correct platform selection mistakes, redesign ineffective workflows, accelerate testing protocols. Pragmatic intervention targeting actual problems.
Start with Discovery
Invest 30 minutes. It's free, confidential, and without commitment. Let's determine mutual fit before any commitment.
What Happens Next
- 1
You describe your PFAS challenge.
- 2
We assess mutual fit—both ways.
- 3
If it's a match: detailed proposal follows promptly.
- 4
If not: we'll connect you with better-suited specialists.
What to Prepare
Ideal scenario:
PFAS materials list, regulatory deadlines, testing capabilities, decision-maker availability.
Starting with less:
Many clients begin with partial information. Part of discovery is helping you map what matters most.
