The ADAS Tree project
One of the reasons we started ADAS as a punchy little consultancy was because we enjoyed how straight forward it was to bring our principles to work with us. We can sit down with a cup of coffee and make a decision as a team, and have it ready to roll by the end of the day. It’s the spirt of love and care that we bring into all of our projects with us.
That’s why we were delighted when we identified an opportunity to partner with JustOneTree, a community interest company that work to ensure that we make sure that the planet has a seat at the table! Check out ADAS’ pledge with JustOneTree, and take a look at how working with us has a direct positive impact on the climate.

Why did we get involved?
If there’s a key word for systems thinkers like us who like to build safe and secure systems, it’s ‘sustainability’. Sustainability is the ability to maintain a given thing at a reasonable or healthy level, it’s what keeps a good thing rolling, year after year – regardless of the system and it’s features. When we’re talking about keeping a business cyber secure, sustainability is the aim of the game; our controls need to make sense and be effective proportionately to our risk appetite, our resourcing ought to not stretch us too thin, and most importantly, we need to produce a team culture that people feel comfortable to do their best work in.
Zooming out a little, the real truth is that there’s a system to secure that takes priority – and that’s the Earth system. Our planet is a fixed and finite resource that is affected by industry in a feedback loop that is currently completely unsustainable. Deforestation, over farming, and over extraction of natural resources to produce unnecessary products are all symptoms of a big broken system. The impacts aren’t abstract either: The climate crisis is going to affect animals, infrastructure, seasonal climate, and most importantly: human lives.
