Strategic Planning for Sustainability
SBC works hand-in-hand with clients to develop sustainability goals and then map out a strategy + timeline to bring that vision to reality. We make sure that we align all of these actions with your budget so that your strategy is realistic and consistent with cash flow.

SBC develops comprehensive sustainability strategies by working with senior management, sustainability champions and/or cross-functional green teams to:

• Benchmark where your company currently stands.
• Identify and set sustainability goals.
• Determine exactly how to achieve your vision.
• Develop metrics to track and manage progress.
• Tie the strategic plan back to your cash flow.

Examples of Our Work

Leading international retailer for outdoor gear and apparel
SBC helped the firm use the Return on Sustainability (ROS) process to sort through hundreds of potential actions and concentrate on those that increased profitability, brand value, and environmental performance at the same time. SBC also worked with the firm to develop an activity-based-costing framework for evaluating the true costs of new environmental initiatives.

5th largest radio broadcaster in the US
We worked with the company’s Environmental Stewardship champions to develop environmental goals and carbon reduction scenarios. SBC then helped refine the internal communications of their sustainability strategy to ensure employee buy-in at all 110 stations across the US.

Metro Parks Tacoma
The Metro Parks Tacoma Green Task Force sought our guidance to take their environmental stewardship to the next level. Using the ROS process, SBC facilitated development of recommended goals, priorities and action items for every level of the organization from leadership on down. Presented with a more clearly articulated set of goals, the Executive Cabinet approved the Green Task Force’s recommendations and the Green Task Force could move forward.
