Project: Utility Provider

This utility provider was launching its first green team and had not yet made the sustainable business case to leadership in order to attain corporate responsibility funding or executive support.

Sustainable Business Consulting helped the utility formalize its sustainability programming through:

• Conducting a sustainability SWOT assessment to uncover brand-enhancing financial, social and environmental opportunities
• Benchmarking the utility against its competitors in terms of corporate sustainability and social responsibility
• Creating the sustainable business case for internal sustainability efforts & dedicated funding
• Detailing a three-year sustainaibility implementation strategy & budget

The green team was able to secure funding for a full-time sustainability position after making the case to its CEO, and was already equipped with over 30 environmental and social efforts that would both save the organization money and enhance its internal sustainability efforts.
