About Us
The Centre for Sustainable Innovation & Technology (CfSIT) is a non-profit dedicated to
advancing sustainability through new product R&D/NPD, collaboration, and actionable insights.
Operating from the UK, with an office in the USA and Mainland China, we bring together experts,
businesses, policymakers, and change-makers to drive meaningful innovation that balances
economic growth with environmental and social responsibility.
We believe that innovation is key to a sustainable future. Whether you are developing circular
economy solutions, transitioning to cleaner technologies, or integrating sustainability into your
business strategy, the CfSIT works to provide the knowledge, resources, and connections
needed to accelerate your journey.
Why We Do It
Sustainability challenges are complex, and solutions require a multidisciplinary approach.
Finding credible, up-to-date, and practical resources can be difficult for organisations and
individuals striving to make an impact. The Centre for Sustainable Innovation serves as a central
hub, curating research, best practices, and case studies to empower businesses, governments,
and innovators to develop and implement sustainable solutions more effectively.
We exist to bridge the gap between sustainability ambition and action, equipping our partners
with the insights they need to drive real change in their industries and communities.
Our History
The CfSIT was founded by a group of professionals passionate about embedding sustainability
into business and policy decision-making. Recognising the need for a dedicated space where
sustainability challenges could be tackled with rigorous research and collaboration, we
established the CfSIT as an independent think tank.
Our goal is to provide evidence-based guidance, connect diverse stakeholders, and inspire
actionable change. Since our inception, we have engaged with industry leaders, academic
institutions, and government bodies to drive meaningful progress toward sustainability goals.
Who Runs The Centre for Sustainable Innovation?
The CfSIT is managed by a dedicated team of sustainability experts, researchers, and industry
professionals. Our work is guided by an advisory board consisting of leaders from the corporate
sector, academia, and policy-making communities who share our commitment to innovation and
sustainability.
We collaborate with global organisations, businesses, and policymakers to ensure our research
remains relevant, actionable, and impactful. Through partnerships, workshops, and knowledge-
sharing, we strive to be the trusted resource for organisations looking to integrate sustainability
into their operations and strategies.
Every aspect of our work is designed to support and enable meaningful change—because the
future depends on the innovations we create today.
