We Are Orchard Ltd
Orchard is an association management company. Our goal is to drive the change needed to ensure we can live on this planet sustainably. We do this by facilitating the growth of sectors that can make the biggest difference, with our biggest focus today on the anaerobic digestion/biogas industry. The biogas industry alone can reduce global emissions by at least 12% by 2030, largely through recycling all the organic wastes we humans generate directly or indirectly, turning a waste problem into valuable products such as green gas, bio-CO2, bio-fertilisers, and other valuable bioproducts. We support our partners to help drive those sectors forward, by helping them communicate their sector’s value, win government support, access new markets, attract investment, and amplify their R&D programs. We offer strategic advice, a full range of association management services (policy, membership, events, publications, and finance), and practical support to help our partners be as effective as possible. By demonstrating the potential of the industry, and by supporting the development of such things as best practice, training, the standardisation of carbon reporting methodologies, and accreditation on a global level, we can facilitate our biogas association partners deliver that potential.
