In advising companies on sustainability, Esty Environmental Partners uses a rigorous methodology that proceeds through four critical stages: analyze, strategize, mobilize, and optimize.

Analyze: During the analysis phase, we assess a company’s environmental impacts and its sustainability challenges, benchmarking its performance against major competitors and stakeholder expectations. In the process, we identify gaps and opportunities along with immediate priorities. <Analyze Services>

Strategize: Based on the priorities, we help companies design initiatives to reduce their environmental impacts, exploit growth opportunities, and make sustainability more integral to their brand. <Strategize Services>

Mobilize: Putting sustainability strategy to work requires a detailed and well-coordinated action plan, with a clear and strong CSO role and a governance structure. Employees, stakeholders, and partners need to understand the company’s environmental goals and the metrics for “keeping score.” <Mobilize Services>

Optimize: Getting the most out of sustainability initiatives requires constant performance measurement; evaluation of what’s working and what isn’t; continuous operational improvement; and transformational change. <Optimize Services>
