Crafted around holistic impact. Tailored to your mission.
Our Services - The 7 Cs
Compass
Before you set a course, you need a heading. Compass is where every engagement starts: a structured baseline assessment across Planet, People, Transparency, Accountability, and Governance, using our Sustainability Snapshot or Drop Evaluation, that maps the gap between where your brand is today and where you want it to be—then turns that gap into a prioritized, sequenced roadmap your team can actually execute.
2. Circularity
From raw material to end of life, we help you close the loop: sourcing organic, regenerative, or recycled materials, redesigning packaging to be recyclable or compostable, diverting production waste from landfill, and building take-back or resale programs so your product's story doesn't end at checkout.
3. Climate
We measure your carbon emissions and help with reduction planning and setting science-based targets. It's the same work that carries a path toward Climate Label Certification through the Change Climate Project.
4. Conduct
We map out your supply chain and evaluate your suppliers' practices pertaining to compensation, health and safety, worker rights, and gender equity to build an actionable social impact strategy.
5. Certifications
We help you pursue the certifications that validate your social and environmental practices. We specialize in B Corp and The Climate Label, managing the assessment, documentation, and verification process from first application to final certification.
6. Compliance
We review your sustainability claims against the FTC Green Guides and emerging regulations like the EU's Green Claims Directive and CSRD, so what you say publicly is something you can always prove privately.
7. Content Creation
We help you tell your impact story: website copy, impact reports, investor and retailer decks, and press.
