Results:  The Ultimate Outcomes We Deliver

Quick Green Assessment

Based on a half-day cross-function meeting of key managers, one-day of meetings with employees, internet research, review of best practices and interviews with 12 stakeholders, the Quick Green Assessment covers three key strategic areas and delivers the following:

• Assessment:  An overview of most pressing environmental issues and a summary of the key business challenges and opportunities they present.

• Stakeholder Snapshot: Green Impact will identify and interview 12 thought leaders from NGOs, customers, suppliers, investors and impacted communities to identify emerging business risks and opportunities, providing a snapshot of what external stakeholders think about your company and the key issues to have on your radar screen.

• Quick-ROI Strategies: Do you know which green investments make the most sense for your business? We identify your “low hanging fruit”–quick wins that will drive quick-ROI, deliver green benefits and bolster your brand.  Key areas to focus on initially might include facilities, fleets, IT, packaging and waste.
