A BETTER WAY FORWARD

Sustainability is thorny. Our systems have not been set up in a way to be sustainable. We are stuck in a system that has taught us to throw things away, make things as cheaply as possible, not consider what happens when we sell things. Our KPI is sales aka how much trash we can send out into the world. Consumer model. Raw mats consumed. Planet has not been considered in the equation.

But we want to be better. You want to be better. Your customers want you to be better. We just need to know how. It takes a partner to help get you there.

Apply our unique skills to help you, help our community, help the planet. It’s about being a good neighbor, a good citizen. It’s the right thing to do. MFA, GLOBES fellow, published. Best research and methodologies.

Designers, engineers and architects have enormous power to shape the world around them, from creating the objects we use to the environments we inhabit. We have a responsibility to use our creativity and skills to pave the way to sustainable consumption.

Today’s buyers are driven by more than price – they’re looking for brands that align with their own values and needs.
— Paul Magel, President of Business Applications, CGS

THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A LEADER

Companies large and small have put these principles into practice and have been lauded by both customers and industry experts alike.

Beyond the value inherent in preserving the environment, customers are responding at rapidly growing rates in the marketplace to companies that share their health, social, and ecological standards.

This leadership is reflected in market share, industry awards and recognition, employee retention, investor confidence, and high-value acquisitions.
