Working with us

Our free initial screening includes a preliminary discussion to learn about your needs and situation. We may make a site visit, if necessary.


Initial assessment
We establish baseline information, assess current core competencies, and identify improvement opportunities such as energy usage, material balance, and technological weaknesses.


Solution development
We develop data-driven plans to improve efficiency, reduce waste, or validate clean technologies. Projects typically cost $15K–$50K before subsidies* and take 3–5 months to complete.


Implementation
Solutions are tailored to your project. Common deliverables include design updates, process recommendations, reports, and training workshops.


Follow-up
After implementation is completed, we follow up with you over a 3- to 5-year period to monitor progress and provide assistance as needed.


Education and training
We offer a wide range of workshops and training opportunities to help our clients gain the financial and operational benefits of sustainability.
