Since 2007, Avieco has been inspiring, helping, and empowering organisations to become more sustainable, working with global corporations and national businesses, government departments and international institutions, as well as local councils and individual communities, to create a sustainable, low carbon economy and society.
We are also conscious we must lead by example, and demonstrate our clients and stakeholders what a truly sustainable business looks like. We rigorously assess our own environmental impact every year, and we are committed to the Science-Based Targets Initiative as well as to the Pledge to Net Zero.

Our
Mission
To make sustainability more than a word.
Truly sustainable businesses must set a direction and a strategy, adopt targets and messages that really hit home with all stakeholders, and take the right action in a proportionate and effective way. In every market, sustainability now means more than just talk, we stand ready to turn your sustainability words into action.
Our Values
Brave
We are not afraid to ruffle feathers, to be controversial, to stand out. We will raise our head above the parapet, and we will be visible. The sustainability challenge that we all face requires us to be bold.
Charismatic
We have important things to say about the impact of business on the environment, and we are honest enough to tell people what we think.
Intelligent
We own our clients' problems and provide smart and effective programmes for business change. Our people are experts in their field, providing high value insights and solutions. We are respected by our peers, trusted by our stakeholders and partners, and consistent in our delivery of results that drive change.
Personable
We are a nice bunch. Empathetic to the challenge that sustainability presents to our clients. We are the human face of sustainability support, with an approachable, warm and personable team. This ethical and friendly approach extends to the way that we run our business, treat our colleagues and work with our suppliers and partners.
MEET OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM
Ben Murray
CEO
In 2006 I took a life changing decision; leaving behind a career in industry, I founded Avieco (then Carbon Smart) with a mission to help UK and international businesses be smart about sustainability. Do the things that make a difference to the world and for themselves – business and sustainability can be a great mix. Why did I do it? Quite simply, as a father of two, it was time to play my part in ensuring they could look forward to a sustainable future. Thirteen years later, the awesome team at Avieco is doing just that with hundreds of great UK and global businesses.
Louise Quarrell
COO
The natural world, and how it evolves, have always held a fascination for me. Finding the right balance between human development and protecting species, habitats and landscapes is the biggest challenge of our time. On leaving university I chose to focus my career on helping to solve this issue, and spent several years working at consultancies primarily centred on sustainability in the domestic and public sectors. In 2010, I was looking for a new challenge and when Ben asked me to join him in owning, growing and leading Avieco I jumped at the chance. I’m hugely proud of what we’ve achieved to date – as a company, with our clients and for our team. There’s still much to do, and I can’t wait to get stuck in.
Ian Bell
Director
As a strategist, I am excited by how sustainability will become a primary lens for how companies, of all shapes and sizes, future-proof their business to address societal concerns about both their environmental impact and their ethical behaviour. As a director at Avieco, I help businesses to successfully navigate these challenges, assessing the risks and opportunities in this sustainability context, helping them to identify the areas of material risk where they need to act, but equally the opportunities for innovation, enhanced efficiency, and value creation, be it in their business model
Julie Craig
Director
I lead our expert reporting service, advising clients on legally required and voluntary environmental and social disclosures such as SECR, TCFD, Non-financial legislation and CDP. What your business says and does about its environmental performance matters. If you report the right information at the right time, your business can gain competitive advantage, attract investment and avoid penalties. I’m an expert in the non-financial reporting landscape, particularly where legislative requirements and guidance/frameworks overlap, conflict or compliment.
