Sustainability commitments introduce new challenges.
To achieve goals, focus on means, not measurement and reporting.
LET'S MAKE SUSTAINABILITY WORK
WORKING
TO BUILD A BETTER WORLD
Is your organization serious about contributing to sustainability?
If so, then all staff need an accurate view of your industry in the global context and the confidence to apply that knowledge in day-to-day decision-making.
The world is remade daily by our decisions and their outcomes. Building competencies in sustainability into the work assures that people are making a better world every day that they are on the job.

I help organizations implement sustainability informed by lean thinking. Developing your people to understand and confidently apply sustainability insights in their daily work.
