Our Services

Strategic Planning
We work with private companies, public agencies and nonprofit groups to guide development of mission, vision, goals, tactics and metrics for sustainability. We use SWOT analysis and the concept of the “triple bottom line” to determine the best strategic opportunities for your situation. We identify and engage diverse stakeholder groups to ensure successful outcomes. And we work with you to determine how to measure and communicate your successes over time.

Program Development
We help develop and launch new program initiatives that focus on resource efficiency and conservation, identify the partners and financial resources available to support your efforts, and determine timelines and metrics to guide implementation.

Performance Metrics
Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a baseline measurement for greening operations. We identify and manage expert technicians to help you measure performance and improve areas including:

• Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
• Waste and Materials Reduction
• Land Use and Transportation Strategies
• Human Resource Policies
• New Capital Investments (equipment, buildings and infrastructure)

Public Policy Analysis and Development
We provide research, analysis and recommendations for public policy development, incorporating cost-benefit analyses, social equity and political considerations.

Research and Writing
We help synthesize information and present it clearly. We bring solid writing, editing and publications experience and can also write speeches and talking points for specific needs.

Institutional Capacity-Building
Successful multi-party projects often require the development of operating agreements and administrative mechanisms. We can help you understand and choose among options to ensure desired outcomes, and plan for related staff development and training needs.
