Our Approach
1) Benchmarking: Many organizations have developed sustainable business practices in a wide variety of industries. We will research and report on the environmental, social and financial best practices that will be relevant for your sustainability planning process.
2) Engage Employees, Customers, Vendors, and other Stakeholders: Real-time change begins with a conversation that inspires your key stakeholders to look at their own practices, behaviors, and systems differently. This process may use a variety of formats, from carefully crafted surveys, to an organizational peer-to-peer strategy of interviews or focus groups.
3) Identify Patterns & Possible Strategy: Sifting through information and creating a meaningful picture is a process best taken on in partnership with the client, so that both the consultant as well as the champions gains the best possible advantage of insight. This may happen in partnering on reports, in face-to-face meetings or in a retreat setting.
