Mission & Values

Our Mission

To help our clients to journey towards sustainability while enhancing their profit, quality and value.

Our Values

SustainEdge is a values-driven company that strives to embody the very principles of sustainability that we bring to our customers.

SustainEdge Economic Values

• SustainEdge makes a priority of ensuring that our clients obtain a reasonable and maximized return on investment from their sustainability initiatives.  We realize that organizations have many priorities and limited resources.  That's why we only deliver products and services that meet this criteria.  This applies to all strategies and tactical courses of action that we may recommend that will require other vendors or a client's internal resources. 

• SustainEdge products and services are priced very aggressively to ensure that value is maximized.  Sustainability requires resource efficiency and that it be pursued in the most cost-effective ways possible.

• SustainEdge is managed in such a manner that operating costs are kept to a minimum.  Not only does this help us weather the inherent cycles in the advisory industry, but it also ensures that we can keep our fees lower than many competitors.

SustainEdge Social Values

• SustainEdge attracts and retains a best-in-class quality team through its offering of competitive compensation, benefits, and personnel policies. 

• SustainEdge works as a team.  We believe that a high-functioning team where all members' input is solicited and valued is not just good business, but is essential to providing the best service possible to our clients.

• SustainEdge is actively involved in the communities in which it does business.  We serve our communities in many ways.  Some examples of this are by contributing monetarily and through service to values-aligned local charities, participating in civic organizations, promoting livable communities, and facilitating networks that promote adoption of sustainable practices within businesses, governments, and not-for-profits.

SustainEdge Environmental Values

• SustainEdge limits its market to areas that can be served within a few hours drive from our associates' homes.  Unlike many consulting firms, we do not jump onto planes in an effort to capture every possible engagement.  We believe that our local market is sufficient to grow and prosper.  If an engagement lies outside of our geographic base, we will work to deliver our services remotely where possible - or refer the work to one of our trusted partners in our business network.
• SustainEdge has a rigorous Green Purchasing Policy and an active recycling program to minimize depletion of the world's natural resources.  We thoroughly research products purchased and vendors utilized to support our business.
• SustainEdge operates in an energy-efficient manner.  We use only Energy Star certified office equipment and light our workspaces with energy-efficient lighting systems.
