You’ll start reducing your carbon footprint
Reducing your carbon footprint is the name of the game, after all, right? From day one, you’ll answer a few questions, add just a few easy-to-find data points, then get a ton of action items to help you get to work. Remember though, reducing your carbon footprint doesn’t have to be all about installing a windmill on your roof or buying a fleet of electric vehicles. We’ll take you step-by-step through everything—from getting your teams to switch their computers and phones to dark mode, purchasing energy-efficient equipment, using recycled material in your products, detecting leaks in toilets (yes, that’s a thing), and everything in between.
You’ll have a sustainability strategy
Thinking through every different area of sustainability—especially if you’re not yet an expert—is time-consuming. You could spend weeks reading blog posts, academic research, and chasing your coworkers to ask them all kinds of questions. Forget that—all you need to know is a few topics your business cares about, and we help you create a strategy roadmap with our sustainability management software in just a few minutes. You’ll be able to pick things you can do in days or weeks—like optimizing your waste bin infrastructure and changing dishwashing behaviors—plus a few high-impact, long-term goals like publishing a sustainability report on your website.
You’ll quickly become your company’s sustainability specialist
If you’re looking for ways to stand out at your company and take ownership of something big, starting your sustainability program is a surefire way to impress your boss. Our platform includes step-by-step instructions for starting grassroots programs—like building a green team or concrete steps to actually get people to stop printing their emails—all without having to ask for additional budgets. In fact, a significant number of the activities you’ll do will save your company money (and make you look good for doing it).
You’ll find new ways to get your leadership involved
Making sure your company leaders care about sustainability is key to any sustainability strategy. If you’re unsure how to tailor your message or projects—aside from maybe twisting their arm—we have your back. Every Action on Sustain.Life has a section on stakeholder management, including tactics to bring everyone at your company along on the sustainability journey.
If all else fails, remind your leaders that studies show a positive correlation between ESG performance and stock prices.
