In 2019, Kenneth Hersh, President and CEO of the George W. Bush Presidential Center wrote an essay entitled ‘Capitalism and Social Good Can Co-Exist’. The first paragraph encapsulates the shift that business is undergoing when it adapts a conscious responsible mindset.
“Business models are adapting to include more than just monetary profit as a part of the bottom line. Effective leaders are needed to lead the charge in considering the needs of all stakeholders - including communities, employees, suppliers, customers, and shareholders.”
Circular Economy Methodologies
We explore ways to design products from the start to establish streamlined production, upcycling opportunities, longevity, reuse, and recycling. This approach reduces waste and emissions while strengthening the business model and profitability, improving both user experience and environmental impact.
Green Initiatives Consulting
Our consulting services assist in obtaining various certifications such as LEED, WELL, and B Corps. We also develop sustainable architecture and engineering projects, manage energy, water, carbon, and waste measurement, and provide renewable energy analysis and sustainable materials advisement.
Corporate Strategy and Sustainability Analysis
We review and strengthen your business model by developing a company-specific blueprint to implement practices aligned with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards. This ensures that sustainability is integrated across all components of your company.
Financial and Brand Management
We align responsible business operations with your company’s overall brand as a purposeful entity addressing the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our approach emphasizes innovation and value creation for both the planet and people, while increasing profitability as a long-term mission.
“Corporate social responsibility is a hard-edged business decision. Not because it is a nice thing to do or because people are forcing us to do it... because it is good for our business.”
