Sustainability Strategies

Environmental Management Systems Consulting and Auditing

ISO 14001 is an international standard that allows companies to assess how their operations impact the environment and take proactive measures to minimize or eliminate those impacts.  ISO certification is a symbol that a company is concerned about its impact and has taken steps to address them. 

Companies who adopt management systems find the problem areas in their processes and policies before they can create problems.  This saves time and money and avoids unnecessary business shutdowns and potential environmental and legal liabilities.

We have the capability of either helping you set up an Environmental Management System or if you have one set up, we work with the ISO registrars to certify your system to the standard.

 

Sustainability Indicators

Once you have your new processes and programs in place, you want to make sure they are working and delivering results. We work with you to set up easily monitored indicators that assist you in tracking your organization’s new direction.

People like to be kept informed and sustainability indicators are a great way to let your employees, your customers and your suppliers know that you are committed to making your organization more sustainable.

It is said that we measure what we care about and developing sustainability indicators is a great way to show that you care.

 

Sustainability Reports

Many companies are now publishing annual reports on their sustainability efforts and we can do one for you.

Investors and the public are increasingly looking for companies who understand the issues around sustainability and are responding to them. A sustainability report lets these audiences know you get it and are working to do something about it.

 

Resource Conservation Strategies

We have many years of experience helping organizations reduce their operating costs. We are confident we can reduce yours as well.

We will look at your facilities and current operating expenses to find opportunities to reduce your monthly expenses.

Why give money away each month when those funds can be used to make your organization more efficient and greener at the same time?

 

Green Teams

Dedicated and motivated employees are critical to your business success. We can help you organize your internal green team and get them off to a great start.

 

Green Purchasing, Material Life Cycle and Supply Chain Analysis and Verification

What you buy can be as important to your bottom line as how much you buy. Knowing more about the supplies and materials you use in your business can give you a leg up on the competition.

Greening up your supply chain need not cost you more in the long run.

  • Are you buying the most sustainable products you can?
  • Are the green products you are buying now really green?

We look at what you are currently buying to see if there are greener alternatives that will work for you.

Carbon Footprint Analysis and Reduction Strategies

It is no secret that climate change is the challenge of our generation. It is a multi-faceted problem that will require holistic and system-wide responses. It is also a tremendous business opportunity as it appears likely a regional and national cap and trade system will be implemented in the near future.

Do you know your organization’s carbon footprint and can your organization benefit from future carbon markets?

We can answer those questions.

 

Green Building Projects and Verification

Green Building is no longer waiting to enter the mainstream, it has arrived.

Studies show that green buildings have many advantages:

  • Employees are healthier and more productive
  • Retail sales and student test scores increase
  • Rents and resale values are higher
  • Annual operating expenses are lower

We have participated in the design and planning of many projects in the region and can help you with yours. We also provide verification services for many green building rating systems.

 

Facilitation and Change Leadership

Change is unsettling to many people. When new programs or policies are implemented, there can be resistance and fear.

We facilitate change dialogues and processes with individuals and groups so that change is accepted and welcomed rather than feared and opposed.

Since change will continue to be part of your organization’s experience, why not make it a welcome one?

We can help you do that.
