The Gagliardi Group LLC offers sensible, workable approaches your company can use to achieve its most ambitious environmental leadership goals at the lowest possible cost. By differentiating your company as an environmental leader you will:
1) Solidify stakeholder confidence in your corporate sustainability commitment;
2) Leverage your ability to turn potential market-based environmental pressures against your company to your advantage;
3) Build the value proposition you offer your customers.
We can help you develop common sense environmental solutions -- programs, systems, policies and communications -- that truly demonstrate your company’s sustainability without undermining your business model or jeopardizing your profitability. In practice, building sustainability can mean anything from adopting new corporate goals or developing a strong environmental purchasing policy to upgrading facilities or forging environmental partnerships. But how can you be sure you're making commitments you can live with for years?
More important, how can you be sure that the steps you take actually represent a net improvement for the environment? You need answers now, because the world’s top corporations are requiring their supply chain partners to meet sustainability standards, and a new non-governmental movement is demanding a role in dictating these business decisions to you.
The Gagliardi Group can help you sort through the competing voices and increasing complexities of today’s environmental landscape and create programs that meet customer and other stakeholder expectations -- while yielding real environmental benefits.
The Paper Consumer's Guide to Climate Change
Business managers at U.S. firms have more leverage to reduce climate change than they may realize because nearly every firm purchases vast amounts of paper products, and their choice of which kinds of paper to buy can either raise or lower the emissions of greenhouse gases that lead to climate change. In their new guide, “The Paper Consumer’s Guide to Climate Change,” The Gagliardi Group and non-profit Metafore describe the role that paper and its forest-based lifecyle play in the absorption and release of greenhouse gases and show how paper purchasers can take the initiative to tip the scales toward lower emissions. The guide offers business people a plain-English, four-step process that explains the science and economics of climate change, shows how managers can cultivate their own “internal compass” to help them independently sift through the often conflicting expertise they hear, identifies the best tools to adopt to account for and lower their paper-based greenhouse gas emissions, and cuts through the clutter about carbon offsets.
