Sustainability Management and Planning
Create a sustainability vision along with goals, strategies, and a plan of action.
Whether you are starting from square one or are far down the road in your sustainability initiatives, Brendle Group can help you get to the next level. We do this by taking stock of your existing footprint and practices; developing metrics to measure your success; benchmarking your progress against your peers; and helping you create a sustainability vision along with goals, strategies, and a plan of action. Our expertise in facilitating staff training and organizational change also means that the success of your sustainability strategy will endure long after our work is done.
Sustainability Inventories and Benchmarking
Brendle Group’s engineers and planners will help you take stock of your sustainability progress and practices with targeted inventories of resource use and greenhouse gas inventories, documentation of current practices, and benchmarking against peer organizations.
Sustainability Management Plans
Using a facilitated, inclusive process, Brendle Group’s planners, engineers, and facilitators help governments, education institutions, companies, and organizations develop sustainability visions and goals, quantify strategies, target funding, and create a path to implementation through a unified sustainability plan or system.
Integrated Sustainability Strategies
We help communities integrate sustainability into their planning processes and codes, as well as lead development of industry-level sustainability initiatives, from sustainability charters and best practices guidance to member incentive programs.
Implementation and Monitoring
By helping develop specific implementation plans and performance metrics, we help clients make sure their plans translate to tangible action on the ground.
