FOUNDING DESIGN PARTNER PROGRAM
Help shape a sustainability system built around real operational work
We are inviting a small group of growing companies and sustainability practitioners to help test assumptions, examine workflows, and influence how OCEANS™ Sustainability develops.
What a design partnership means
A design partner may:
- Share current sustainability workflows and pain points
- Help identify where spreadsheets, evidence, and ownership become disconnected
- Review early workflow concepts or product capabilities
- Provide structured practical feedback
- Help determine which improvements create meaningful operational value
We do not promise free software, discounts, exclusivity, priority support, or guaranteed product influence as part of this program.
Who this is for
- Sustainability managers
- EHS leaders
- Operations or facilities teams
- Finance and procurement stakeholders
- Growing companies building their first repeatable carbon-accounting process
- Companies replacing spreadsheet-led reporting
- Teams facing customer, investor, or regulatory information requests
What participants should expect
- 1
Initial fit conversation
A short conversation to understand your context and whether there is a reasonable fit.
- 2
Workflow discovery
We look at how your team currently collects, calculates, and reports sustainability data.
- 3
Agreed participation scope
We agree in writing what the collaboration will and will not involve.
- 4
Structured review or pilot activity
Hands-on work against the agreed scope — reviewing concepts, testing workflows, or both.
- 5
Feedback and next-step decision
We review what was learned together and agree on a sensible next step.
Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance.
What OCEANS™ will protect
- Respect for participants' time
- Clear meeting objectives
- No request for confidential operational information through the public form
- Agreement on what may be shared
- Honest distinction between current product capabilities and future direction
Apply to become a design partner
This application is more qualifying than a general enquiry, but still concise. Please do not include confidential operational information.
