Our Approach
Our approach is based on the thinking that there are two distinct elements to office greening – the human element and the business element. The human element calls for open communication, experiential learning, the fostering of sustainable behaviors, and team building. The business element requires careful auditing, monitoring, skilled measuring, developing a plan, and reaching agreed upon targets.
We bring these vital, connected pieces together to deliver programs and behaviors that make office greening successful.

Discover
We begin with a process of discovery; a comprehensive Green Audit to find out exactly where you stand. We create baselines for energy consumption and consumables using our Green Office Calculator. Green Targets are set and progress towards them is monitored for the short and long term.
Collaboration
We help you form an effective Green Team with the right people and a clear purpose. We provide your team with the tools necessary to lead successful green initiatives. We also foster sustainable company-wide behavior using our own proven methods. We can guide you in communicating your efforts externally so you can harness the marketing benefits of being a greener firm.
Plan
Greening your office requires a plan that is both specific and prescriptive. We create a customized Green Roadmap that is the blueprint for your greening efforts. It also helps ensure that your Green Targets are met. The Green Roadmap is supported by a Green Statement as well as written policies and procedures in the form of a Green Office Policy.
Focus
The Green Roadmap allows you to focus your greening efforts on the no- and low-cost initiatives first. This allows you to have the biggest impact in saving money and reducing your impact on the environment.
Celebrate
Celebrating when your Green Targets are whole-heartedly pursued and met is important to lock in the efficiencies gained and boost company-wide collaboration. We also assist you in communicating successful office greening results to your clients and the business community with a Green Report.
