How We Do It

Our process combines the best of metrics consulting, strategy insight, and change management to help clients create lasting value. We work with our clients to create customized programs that help you:

Delve into your current practices and performance – map resources, measure impacts, assess operations, review culture and markets – to identify opportunities, goals, risks and key leverage points.

Engage
Connect with your internal and external stakeholders collaboratively to clarify aspirations, commitments and contributions to set measurable targets.

Strategize
Design and plan pragmatic actions, with associated sustainability and financial metrics, that are profitable, implementable, and scalable to make sustainability operational in your unique circumstances.

Measure

How do we get you results? We rely on three areas of specialty:

Sustainability Metrics: clear metrics, measurable outcomes, tracking
We use our technical expertise to create appropriate, effective, and measurable solutions for sustainable performance. We help you determine the right actions to pursue based on their financial and sustainability characteristics. Whether you aim to reduce water use, become more energy efficient, or green your supply chain, we analyze your potential actions and create a set of financial and sustainability metrics for each. With this informed comparison, you can make the right decisions for optimized business value.

Business Insight: analysis, strategies, opportunities
We work with clients to assess the current situation at your company and your extended supply chain network – creating baselines, setting benchmarks, identifying short and long term possibilities for making sustainability operational in your business model. With this information, we help you design new ways to build profit, resilience, competitive position, share value, and satisfaction for shareholders, customers and employees.

Change Management: organizational development, aligned action, thought leadership
We believe that real change and value innovation begins with creative, people-centered strategies. Inspiration needs to come from the top down and from the bottom up. It grows from the inside out through education, inspiration and action. So we work with our clients and their employees to improve sustainability practices while achieving performance goals. We motivate company leadership to take bold, smart action. We educate, inspire and empower your employees so they feel personally connected to the broader company journey. EcoShift is here to help your organization take aligned action to realize significant and quantifiable results.
