MISSION
We exists to make you stand out. We steer companies to operate with the best environmental, social, and governance-based metrics they can. We specialize in sustainability consulting and the Certified BCorp Assessment and Verification.
PROCESS
When you chose to work with our team, you will receive a hands-on approach addressing your current structure and processes. Once we walk through your current practices and operations, we develop a strategy to implement the necessary steps to affect the required organizational changes.
Discovery
Our team examines your current organizational practices to understand your business inside and out. In these meetings, we identify your business goals, areas where you would like to improve and learn why a B-Corp Certification is right for your business.
Strategy Development
We tailor our approach based on the specific needs of your business.
Findings
No one project will look like the next, and we know take the time to present a customized roadmap in order to adopt organizational changes which you can present to your leadership team.
Implementation
Our team works closely with your leadership team in your organization to implement the necessary changes. We complete your sustainability assessments side by side, and ramp up our efforts to package together the best representation or your business.
Complete the Application
Once the necessary organizational changes have been completed, our team will work with your leadership team to pull together the formal application to submit and track on your behalf. Once we have completed the review and approval process, it is time to ramp up the announcements and celebrate your achievement!
Continued Management
For clients who chose to retain our management services, we meet with your leadership periodically as needed to ensure everything with your sustainability assessment is up to date, you are making the necessary improvements outlined in your improvement matrix, and assist with the recertification process.
