Do you need help with carbon footprinting?

As pressure mounts from consumers, investors, and regulators, businesses are increasingly expected to measure and reduce their carbon footprint. Understanding and reducing your carbon footprint doesn’t just make environmental sense, but in 2024 it also makes business sense.

That’s where our Complete Carbon Footprinting Service comes in. We’re your trusted partner, providing expert guidance and actionable insights to help you quantify your environmental impact and achieve your sustainability goals.

We’ll help you understand your environmental impact, develop a data-driven plan for reduction, and unlock a world of opportunities – all while saving you money and boosting your reputation.

Value led Virtual Assistant Service for Ethical SME's

By delegating to a team of Virtual Assistants (VAs), we will help you free up time to work on growing and scaling your sustainable business. 

Time that your team can use to focus on business operations and strategy.

Time to work towards your sustainability goals and make a bigger impact with your ethical business.

Time to go on holiday, relax or do whatever you choose.

Are you Ready to Grow your Sustainable Business?

Running a business of any size is difficult and as someone with personal experience starting from scratch, I truly understand how hard it can be to keep all the plates spinning

Running a business an eco-friendly ethos adds yet another plate into the mix. So how on earth do you keep all of the plates spinning whilst also growing your business?

That’s where we come in.

Having a team of dedicated VAs that are passionate about your success will allow you grow a profitable business and have a positive impact on the world at the same time.

As your Virtual Assistant, Planner Bee VA Services can help you to keep the plates spinning and we understand that not everyone is at the same stage of their sustainability journey. That’s why we meet businesses where they are and help them take things to the next level, professionally and environmentally.

Wouldn’t you be buzzing if you had a few extra hours in the day? Well with a few more worker bees at your disposal, you can have those extra few hours whenever you need them!

Our Purpose

Awards:

Do I need an ethical Virtual Assistant?

Is all or most of your time spent maintaining rather than progressing?

Are you and your team stressed trying to stay on top of everything?

Are you having to turn down clients and potential business (or are you growing a long waiting list) due to lack of time?

Do you need marketing support, but don’t want to take on a full-time employee?

Are you spending lots of time on tasks that you don’t enjoy and aren’t within your zone of genius?

Do you feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done?

Are you too busy working IN your business to have time to work ON your business?

These are all solvable problems that my team and I can help you with. 

I know it can be difficult to delegate and let go of full control when you have put your soul into what you do. But there is no need to worry! Absolutely nothing will be finalised without your stamp of approval, we’ll just do all the heavy lifting so you can focus on other things. We will work with you to create a personalised plan to delegate some of your workload and create a partnership that you can feel confident and excited about!
