What we do
Native Sustainability loves digging into the details to figure out what makes your business work, and what motivates you. We’ll meet you where you are - whether you have a comprehensive sustainability plan or just the seed of an idea and a desire to change. Getting to know your unique needs is part of the fun.
Waste
Waste is expensive. We like to get our hands dirty—often literally—working with businesses to reduce and repurpose waste in ways that save money, and divert material from the landfill. We employ a hierarchy of use model that explores ways to help people first (for example, diverting food waste to feed the hungry before implementing a composting program). Services are tailored to your industry and business needs can includes:
Material audits
Reuse and diversion
Material donations
Organic waste management
Sourcing and procurement
Water
Water is a natural resource and a valuable business resource. We analyze our clients’ operations to identify ways to reduce water use, capture runoff and treat wastewater. This can include:
Efficiency planning through fixture modifications and upgrades
Onsite stormwater treatment
Beautification and retention
Innovative Stormwater management
Energy
Climate change is a global challenge. We believe that all of our efforts add up, and everything counts. Large-scale energy efficiency overhauls and small, everyday savings are equally important. We pull in outside experts to help guide our clients through:
Operations analysis
Energy audits
Renewable energy generation
Fleet conversions and upgrades
Employee engagement programs
Social responsibility
Social responsibility is about the triple bottom line: making improvements for the planet that are both profitable and beneficial to people. Being transparent about your work showcases your company as a good neighbor, helps retain good employees, and communicates your values to your customers. We can help you with:
Marketing and storytelling
Employee engagement
Social giving
Connections to health and wellness programs
