EcoStrategy Group helps companies to navigate the business risks and opportunities associated with environmental sustainability.  We pride ourselves on our pragmatism and our ability to align and incorporate sustainability strategy with other aspects of your businesses processes.

Sustainability Communications Plan

Client Problem

How does a business communicate sustainability efforts and accomplishments to key stakeholders in order to receive appropriate credit, while simultaneously avoiding greenwashing?   It’s a challenging path for companies to navigate.

Solution

EcoStrategy Group creates a strategic sustainability communications plan based on quantitative company performance that can be integrated into overall corporate communications and investor relations efforts.  We identify which information to communicate, how and when to communicate it, and to whom.

Stakeholder Relationship Management

Client Problem

Organizations need to avoid costly surprise attacks on the company’s reputation, brand, or operations.  Success requires that companies take the initiative to develop and maintain strong relationships with influencers inside and outside the business.

Solution

EcoStrategy Group identifies key stakeholder groups that can most help or harm the company.  Once we have identified and prioritized the key stakeholders, we provide clients with a blueprint for engaging them and managing the relationships critical to their business.

Managing the Change Process

Client Problem

Change is hard.  Sustainability plans can fail if processes and behaviors do not change with them.  Initiatives that make conceptual sense will founder if the organization is not aligned around specific, measurable goals.

Solution

EcoStrategy Group identifies the key processes that must be established or modified in order to support the achievement of the strategic goals.  We recommend high-level process changes that may be necessary, advise internal project leaders on change management, and develop plans to roll out changes across the relevant organizational units.

Sustainability Strategy Development

Client Problem

Companies today face a wide array of environmental issues, yet most businesses do not have a coherent plan for addressing them.  Without such a plan,businesses expose themselves to unnecessary business risks and miss out on opportunities to reduce costs and to improve revenue and reputation.  If environmental initiatives are piecemeal and uncoordinated, they will not deliver the desired results.

Solution

EcoStrategy Group works with companies to establish goals and tie together disparate sustainability initiatives in order to build a cohesive, executable plan.   We map the sustainability initiatives to the organization’s strategic vision and goals, and identify business risks and opportunities.   Our Sustainability Playbook guides the organization’s employees in implementation of the strategy.
