Resilience Building
Business and community leaders are facing an unprecedented uncertainty on a geopolitical context. This poses significant implications to supply chain with fluctuating costs and stability. There is now a need for us all to bridge the profound knowledge maturity gap at board and senior leadership level on what resilience and future value creation looks like.
Be Better recognise that climate is not just an ideological risk it is an economic threat. We create tailor made and off-the-shelf solutions for C-suite and leadership to confidently navigate the fiduciary responsibilities linked to physical climatic impacts.
We work with private and public sector across multi stakeholder groups including NHS England, Cambridge Institute of Sustainable Leadership, Reset Connect, WEX Global, and sectors such as legal, risk, compliance, marketing water, and health.
We bring 30+ years in strategic advisory services including 20+ years of socio-political and environmental knowledge.
Advisory Services
Retainer Support
Bespoke strategic advisory services. Including; physical materiality, beyond compliance or carbon, impact audit, value chain or greenwashing health checks, resilience oversight, stakeholder assessments and compliance.
We are industry agnostic working with clients across law, risk, marketing, compliance etc.
Board / Leadership Briefing &Workshop
Curated sessions to open dialogue on evolving issues and how core stakeholders are addressing them, the hurdles they are experiencing and how collaborative approaches increase value.
These sessions tend to work best as part briefing and part chaired roundtable/board discussion. These discussions are bespoke to your geography, industry or supply chain.
Leadership Roundtables
For 5 years we have successfully undertaken R&D and delivery of tailor made Board Training to join the dots on climate and fiduciary responsibilities.
These include regional or industry specific material analysis across value chain nuances.
Clients include NHS England rolled out across the whole of SE England ICB’s.
Keystone Voices - Fireside Chats
In a fast evolving leadership space it is critical to hear from multidisciplinary experts. I curate Fireside Chat’s with Keystone Voices (those individuals whose work is the glue or the rule setting for future value creation).
Members are invited to join the otherwise exclusive conversation, to ask questions as they relate to their field.
Speaking at UCL is always a highlight of my year, the richness of knowledge in the room is inspiring. This year I spoke on ‘Sustainable Business in Practice’ with Claire Brady - Savills and Michaela Neto - Burberry. As well as chairing the ‘Tackling Water Sustainability’ panel with the brilliant Kathryn Pharr - Women in Water and Eleanor Pendle - Waterscan. Here’s what I learned…

Climate and Water Coalition for Business and Community
We are thrilled to announce that Be Better CEO Illana is now Chair of the ‘Climate and Water Coalition for Business and Community’. The importance of water as a single break point risk for economic growth at national regional and organisational level is increasingly in the spotlight.
This requires a new multi-stakeholder discourse on access, equity and economic stability. The Coalition addresses resilience both inwardly at UK River Basin health and outwardly at the UK’s role in driving best practice stewardship up and down global value chains.
We are soft launching with a roundtable discussion alongside our strategic partners London Climate Action Week and Reset Connect. This event will be at Reset Connect on 24th June 2026. Contact us for more information event, coalition including partnership and stakeholder enquiries:
