We’re people first

We’re proud to be a second generation, women-owned and led business. Our people are passionate in what they do and make us what we are.

Sustainit was founded by Charlie Stockford, who spotted a gap whilst working in the corporate world.

In 2006, it was fast becoming a requirement for companies to implement CSR strategies and report on their non-financial data. There was a disconnect between the in-house teams doing the reporting and the software they needed to use. Huntstock (as the business was originally known) was born with the aim of bridging the gap between clients and their data management systems.

Charlie’s experience navigating family life as well as a running her own business has meant our foundations and values have been built to support women looking to come back to work after having a family but also support those just starting out in their career.

Women in tech and data

As part of our commitment to women in business, we provide entrepreneurship skills and a strong mentoring programme to help young women develop their data, tech, and sustainability careers.

We’re also proud to be part of the women in sustainability network and as founding signatories on the Motherboard charter, we’re working to deliver significant long-term impact for working mums and on a mission to create a more gender balanced industry.

It has been my privilege to work with so many hard-working, courageous and creative women over the years, and I hope to continue to support more of them well into the future.

– Charlie Stockford, Sustainit Founder

Supporting young people

We love to help young people get ahead with their digital, tech and science careers and since the business began, we’ve always welcomed work experience students in. Over the years we’ve welcomed in scores of graduates through our internship programme covering everything from data analysis to communications and graphics. This is something we’re very proud of and will continue to do in the future both directly and through Young Enterprise Southwest.

If you’d like to intern with us, please contact us and tell us about yourself, what area of the business you’re interested in learning about why you think you’d be a good fit here.

As an intern at Sustainit, I’ve had the opportunity to learn from experts who are happy to share their knowledge. The space for flexibility and development means I’ve been able to find my feet in the team and work out where my interests and skills lie!
