Supply Chain Appraisals For A Sustainable Future
Our Business Updated – Time to Appraise Progress
EnabledFuture was founded on October 4, 2016, with a mission to empower organisations in the chemicals, catalysis, critical and precious metals, and advanced materials sectors to achieve optimised technology portfolios for a sustainable future. We remain true to this vision, but we wish to direct our energies to appraising its progress. Therefore, as of December 2025, we have updated our mission statement to “Supply Chain Appraisals for a Sustainable Future”. Under this new remit, we are setting out to evaluate the progress of the industries we have been working with in the last decade and to establish if their business activities – in particular the services they deliver commercially – reflect the sustainability of the technology portfolios in their toolkits.
Vision and Value Proposition – Updated for Accountability
EnabledFuture’s vision has not changed, but we intend to deliver it differently. We now look to deliver “activist consulting” and under this new remit, our services will look to appraise supply chains and to evaluate their commitment to delivering sustainable technologies at scale. It is clear that progress in climate terms is not keeping pace with what was promised, and in fact most company profits in the sectors we cover are still directly linked to the growth in use of fossil fuels.
EnabledFuture does not support the continual addition of fossil-based industrial manufacturing capacity with nothing more than future-based promises of something greener. Our mission was to see green technologies prioritised and implemented without delays or excuses.
Based on this new remit, EnabledFuture will offer the following services:
- Investigation and evaluation of supply chains against their claimed environmental goals and targets
- Objective reporting on the environmental impacts of manufacturing and related supply chain activities
- Development of exit strategy roadmaps to clear the path towards more Earth-friendly supply chain practices
- Fostering supply-chain relationships to improve coordination of activities with a view to meeting green targets
All our activities are guided by the principles of the Circular Economy including the 10 R’s of the Waste Hierarchy. We evaluate the results of our investigations against established sustainability frameworks, including the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
We help a range of clients including activist investors looking for real sustainable growth opportunities, startups who can move in to fill the sustainability gap left by traditional supply chain participants, stakeholder organisations to inform their membership and governments looking to improve and tighten green policies.
EnabledFuture services are delivered through Consulting, Training, Thought Leadership, Multi-Client reports and monthly Industry Tracking. Our activities are organised into four Sector Hexagons: EnabledCatalysts, EnabledCircular, EnabledPower and EnabledMetals.
Our Commitment to Impact – Taking Stock
To date we have championed innovative sustainable technologies —supporting the development and commercialisation of technologies that create high-quality jobs, stimulate GDP growth, and improve quality of life, all while minimising environmental impact. However, we are concerned that supply chain participants commercial scale activities have fallen out of step with their stated ESG goals, science-based targets and other publicly promised climate-friendly ambitions. EnabledFuture has decided it is time to take stock – and ensure that its own role is aligned with its original vision of implementation of sustainable technologies.
