This is CBSS
Carin Bosman Sustainable Solutions (CBSS) was established in 2007 to provide environmental-, water- and waste governance solutions to the public and private sectors throughout southern Africa. Our solutions include advisory and consulting services, environmental data digitisation and visualisation solutions, and training solutions, and are aimed at identifying and addressing potential problems that could lead to environmental damage and pollution, in order to prevent associated liabilities and reputational damage to our clients..
We are independent, we are the only environmental advisory services company in South Africa that specialises in cooperative environmental- and water governance, and that combines advisory services with digital transformation and training solutions.
CBSS combine years of experience with the latest policy thinking and information technology, to develop implementable solutions that will last beyond tomorrow, and that will lead to better decision-making by government, industry, and civil society alike.
Our Mission
We Deliver Solutions For a Sustainable Future
Our Values
We value fairness in decision-making
If you do not legally require an authorisation, it is unfair to expect you to apply for one. It is also unfair to unnecessarily delay the processing of your application, or to expect you to comply with unreasonable requirements. Environmental- and water governance is all about fairness in administrative decision-making.
We value scientific integrity
We value scientific correctness, because the decisions that are taken based on environmental data (especially water quality and quantity monitoring data), can have serious long term consequences, not only for the environment. We therefore make sure to only use verified and scientifically sound data and information.
We value knowledge transfer
Environmental and water governance is about people, and if your people lack the knowledge to distinguish good governance from bad governance, their decisions will reflect it. Our training courses are designed to provide the skills and attitudes required to ensure that good governance decisions are recognised, and bad ones challenged.
