Sustainability Assessments

Getting a clear picture of where you are now and where  you want to go is a critical step on the path to incorporating sustainability into your organization’s decision-making.

Using business principles, we determine key environmental and social impacts and present an action plan with time-oriented goals to help you organization move to the next level.

Strategic Planning

Making sustainability part of the company culture entails embedding these concepts into the organization’s vision.  We can help you formulate a vision and develop a strategic plan with measurable goals to achieve it.  Most importantly, we’ll help you quantify and communicate the business advantages realized as a result of moving the organization in a more sustainable direction.

Communications and Reporting

Communicating the proper focus regarding sustainability - that it is a business opportunity, a potential revenue source, and the right thing to do - is critical to the success of your sustainability initiatives.  We develop communications pieces, whether the intended audience is employees or shareholders, in a way that helps your organization realize the advantages of its efforts.  We also offer training for key stakeholders in your organization regarding the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and can draft GRI reports for public reporting of your progress, using this sustainability framework.
