Creating Green Cultures

Your organization has made an important commitment to help the environment -- and ensure its own sustainability -- by adopting climate protection and energy conservation strategies.  That’s great, but without a plan to integrate those new practices into your existing culture, your best intentions may wither on the vine.  Changing long-established behavior takes effort, time, training, and continual support.  We understand; we’ve gone through the process of becoming a Certified Green Business. 

Creating a green culture, one that embraces environmental and organizational sustainability at all levels of the organization, is a worthy goal.  We can help you make that goal a reality with a practical, step-by-step program designed to engage every member of your team, and communicate your greening efforts to your audience, be they customers, donors, board members, or the general public.

5-Step “Be Green” Program

1. Assessment – What is the vision for change?
2. Alignment – Are leadership and management aligned with the vision?
3. Integration – What resources and incentives are needed for a smooth integration?
4. Evaluation – What process is in place for continuous evaluation and feedback?
5. Communication – How do you communicate your practices in a meaningful way?
