What We Do

We provide strategy, technology and product design and development consulting services to firms who want to leverage the power of sustainability. We help clients design custom systems achieving financial and sustainability goals. By guiding self-assessments, we help you identify the real opportunities and the tough problems. We then recommend innovative solutions involving your people, processes and products.

People

Sustainability starts with people. We work with organizations to help their people become more environmentally aware. Together we build a sustainability culture of lasting value that aligns with your organization’s business strategies. Involving people in developing the organization’s business case for sustainability, building a sustainable business ecology, designing renewable products and services, and understanding and valuing ecosystem services helps people become committed and aligned around organizational, business and branding strategies.
