Project: Utility Provider

This utility company was grappling with declining employee satisfaction levels and needed to revive a sense of sustainability innovation and pride in the workplace.

Sustainable Business Consulting worked with the company to engage employees using sustainability by:

• Conducting a sustainability assessment of the organization
• Surveying employees and conducting six employee focus groups to discuss organizational operation changes, environmentally and in regards to the community
• Identifying opportunities where the company could better engage employees and improve its sustainability performance at the same time
• Prioritizing actions that would first provide the company with quick increases in satisfaction, then continue to drive engagement through long-term green business strategies

Employee satisfaction scores increased over the following two years by over 10%. The company was also equipped with over 45 additional sustainability actions and corporate responsibility initiatives to implement for greenhouse gas reductions and cost savings.
