We help organizations manage their environmental impacts while improving profitability by aligning sustainability initiatives with budgetary and Return on Investment guidelines.</p><p>In our environment and energy conscious era, organizations require robust sustainability planning for regulatory compliance, risk management, cost reduction, market competitiveness, customer retention, and environmental credibility. Sustainability initiatives have become a &ldquo;must have&rdquo; business imperative for organizations and are strategic differentiators that can set an organization apart in the marketplace. A well-directed Sustainability Plan proves an organization&rsquo;s concrete action on GHG management to shareholders, regulators, trade associations, employees, NGOs, customers, and citizens.</p><p>The business case for sustainability is usually easily made from an examination of relevant environmental and social trends. How might these trends threaten your ability to operate? What opportunities do these trends present for distinguishing yourselves in your industry or for inspiring innovations? What would happen if you didn&rsquo;t respond at all to these trends? What would the cost be of doing nothing?<sup>1</sup></p><p>Some of the services offered under sustainability solutions include: </p>
<ul>
	<li>
		<strong>Sustainability Plans</strong><br />
		Developing or revising Sustainability Plans for organizations delineating their sustainability policies, targets, and implementation actions. These plans provide a framework for transforming broad goals like environmental and social stewardship to actionable sustainability measures that shrink the organization&rsquo;s environmental footprint and improve bottom line. Organizations can include measures ranging from being supplied partially or wholly by renewable energy, creating reduced or zero waste, to buying and/or selling products and services that sustain our resources and the environment. The measures are reviewed and selected on basis of environmental benefits, reduction effectiveness, technological availability, logistical feasibility, first and life-cycle costs, and market acceptance.<br />
		<br />
		We educate and engage important stakeholders and top management in this process and provide a more proactive, integrated approach to addressing environmental issues compared to the reactive, ad-hoc, and end-of-pipe ways adopted traditionally.<br />
		<br />
		We also provide strategic counsel on current and anticipated environmental regulatory policies affecting company&rsquo;s core business practices and recommendations on how to address these policies in a timely, systematic manner.<br />

</ul>

	<li>
		<strong>Sustainability Marketing &amp; Branding Strategies</strong><br />
		Creating or expanding companies&rsquo; branding and marketing strategies to take advantage of sustainability focused market trends. These strategies aim to promote the sustainable aspects of the company&rsquo;s products/services, enhancing brand reputation, and boosting profitability. We advise on brand strategy, alignment, and valuation. We help organizations market green business initiatives in a credible and effective manner while minimizing costs and ensuring&nbsp; exemplary status within the given sector and/or region.</li>
