Sustainability Assessments

Our assessments build upon our Sustainability Opportunity Field Assessments methodology, SOFA. Our SOFA enables us to identify the current sustainable state of your company, the gap(s) to sustainability, and recommend short, mid, and long term actions required to achieve sustainability. The recommendations are based on an assessment of such factors as level of effort, costs, time, and risks. As a general guideline, we use the following framework:

• Services and Products: Created by your business and provided to your customers
• Service Elements: Supporting infrastructure to develop, support, and deliver your products and services, such as customer support
• Back Office Elements: Infrastructure and other cost items required to support your business, such as office space
• Metrics: Sustainability Indicators (SIs) associated with the sustainability of your business, such as the carbon footprint components
• Analysis and Instrumentation: The analysis required once the appropriate tools are used to extract information to measure your businesses SIs
• Reporting Mechanisms: The reporting template and processes to get the right information to the right people
• Accountability: Identifies who or what is accountable for monitoring, creating, and reporting on sustainability
