Sustainability.
Made fluent in the languages of your teams.

  • A design-led sustainability consultancy.
  • Based in Wales. Global reach.

We take sustainability commitments that most organisations struggle to operationalise and turn them into services that work.

Our approach

Sustainability is the discipline of designing for the long term

Sustainability works best when it lives inside how the organisation runs. Not in a document. Not in a separate function. Not in a quarterly report.​
​
We design how sustainability strategy actually gets delivered. The work that turns commitment into how every team plans, decides, and operates.​
​
That includes environmental impact, social value, and the communities you serve. ​

In practice

A new hospital is straightforward to certify as green. The more important question is whether people can reach it without a car, and whether the brief makes space for public transport before a large carpark becomes the default answer.

  • Translate sustainability into the language every team already uses
  • Design what good looks like, then stress-test it before you commit ​ ​
  • Build social value into how you deliver, not into a separate report
  • Design for the long term, not the quarterly report​
  • Build capability that lets change continue after we leave
  • Digital estate audits
  • Carbon-aware service redesign
  • Lifecycle assessments for digital products
  • Sustainable-by-design product development
Why Lantela

What we bring to the work.

Design Council Skills for Planet qualified trainer

Through Cory Hughes, Lantela is qualified to deliver Design Council Skills for Planet training. The qualification is national, issued against a published blueprint. It is the foundation of our Design for Planet training offer.

Evidence before commitment

Most sustainability programmes ask you to commit before you have proof. We work the other way around. Lantela designs in increments you can evidence now, stress-tested before they scale across the organisation. So your next move is a considered path, not a leap of faith.

Welsh roots, global reach

Wales has pioneered some of the most ambitious sustainability legislation anywhere, from the Well-being of Future Generations Act to the Procurement Reform Act. We work with these frameworks in practice, and we understand what it takes to translate their principles into operational change.
