Sustainability Consulting

Responsible, collaborative and competitive

Sustainable businesses strive towards a perpetual state of socioeconomic and ecological prosperity. We are responsible for human impacts on our environment, and as such, organizations are best positioned to shift thought and practices towards a convergence of concern for people, planet, and profit - also known as the "triple bottom line". Many organizations are not currently equipped to establish a clear path to sustainability. We can help you translate today's current business 'language' into a sustainability plan worthy of your future.

Services
Business, non-profit, and government entities alike are realizing significant gains from expert consultation in the art and science of maximizing the triple bottom line. We connect your organization with innovative, cost-effective experts in both the theory and practice of sustainability. Our consultants have successfully advised Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, local, state, and federal government agencies, non-profit foundations, even NGO's. We specialize in the identification and conscientious application of measures that fit your resources, culture, and organizational mission.

Process
Our process begins  with a section of our collabora-engine™. The purpose is to understand your goals, time line, and budget. From our initial assessment, we recommend one of our consultants with expertise specifically matched to your project's scale and scope. Consultants then work directly with your team to further specify requirements and develop a concrete plan of action to execute. Benefits to sustainability planning include:

• Competitive advantage in the marketplace - customers want your business to exemplify long-term thinking
• Incorporating the real costs of doing business into your model - don't wait for unpleasant surprises later
• Adds value to business planning process
• Provides competitive advantage (lower RE liabilities, improved productivity and responsiveness)
• Can increase compliance on several levels
• Considered "the right thing to do" for key stakeholders, investors, and regulatory agencies

The business world is waking up to an inevitable truth: Our global economy, society and environment are inextricably linked. New evidence is growing that human activities are systematically weakening virtually every system on earth.

In order for us to achieve statis with our world, we must change. This reality is changing the ground rules of our lives and offers opportunity. Companies writing the new rules we live and work by will reap the benefits - and avoid the risks - created by rapidly shifting global trends and strategies.

Our perspective is environmental & social issues are indeed an integral part of business models which has far too long been absent from modern business plans. Engage us to advance your plan in this new reality.
