Eco-Assessment and Benchmarking
Where do you stand against your competition? How do you compare to industry leaders? What actions do you need to take to become a leader in sustainability in your industry?
We will work with you to create a baseline profile of your organization’s existing practices, including energy, water, waste, procurement, training, education, and supply chain management. As a result of the assessment, you will have a list of actions, prioritized by cost, environmental impact, and level of effort, to help you determine your short-term and long-term sustainability goals.
