About
Pinpoint was established in 2015 and has grown into a trusted business working with multiple organisations including NGOs, national Government departments, businesses, research organisations and international entities. We provide independent research, advisory, strategy development and facilitation services. Our focus is on corporate responsibility, adding value to supply chains, sustainable food systems, environmental and social economic research, green skills and sustainable livelihoods.
Pinpoint is founded on the principle of collaboration, and through doing so, works in partnership with various delivery bodies, institutions and individuals to aid in the positive transformation of our country.
