Sustainability Reporting identifies, quantifies and can predict the economic, social, and environmental factors that affect your business today. Creating a Sustainability Report for your organization takes time and effort, and the benefits are measurable and meaningful, resulting in benchmarks or baselines for continued improvement year after year. The first steps in this process are defining a vision of what a sustainable future looks like for your organization, and composing a declaration of your company commitment to a sustainable future. This involves measuring and disclosing your company’s accountability on the path toward sustainable operations to suppliers, clients, employees, and shareholders. It communicates that your business is serious about documenting its environmental impacts and illustrates your plans for related improvements and cost saving strategies that are sustainable year after year.
Energy efficiency and the reduction of consumption have become the focus of virtually every company around the world today. Decreasing direct emissions from operations, the electricity and fuel your business consumes, employee commuting time, travel plans, and/or suppliers and product use, are considerations that factor both directly and indirectly into your Carbon Footprint. We can help you measure and quantify these options for your use in developing a Carbon Management Plan or Sustainability Plan for your business.
At EnviroProfit, we are passionate about the energy efficient solutions we offer and making alternative energy an affordable and accessible option. Our knowledgeable team brings to light any and all prospects to reduce your carbon impact while lowering operating costs. If you are looking to reduce your energy bills through lower electricity consumption, or to learn how to generate your own clean electricity, or simply want to “green-up” your operations, we can help. We will facilitate the discussion with your team, working to prioritize the cost paybacks and return on investments for each reduction strategy.
Our team keeps up-to-date on legislation and trading opportunities that may soon create carbon trading markets, which could also provide a gain in your company’s balance sheet.

Companies’ approach and response to Corporate Sustainability initiatives have been significantly influenced by the “tone from the top”. CFO and CEO attention to sustainability and its initiatives has escalated the focus to risk management functions nationwide. Senior management has come to realize, especially when viewed through the lens of risk management, that sustainability needs to be tightly integrated into the organization: in finance, operations, procurement, facilities, human resources, supply chain, logistics, finance investor relations, marketing and communications, and more. Additionally, a growing movement has been pushing companies toward reporting key sustainability data in a much more investor-friendly approach by combining financial reporting with key sustainability metrics. In a recent survey, 43% of respondents indicated that integrated reporting would be “extremely” or “very” helpful in areas such as breaking down the silos, involving the CFO/finance team in sustainability-related initiatives and reporting, and validating the existence and importance of non-financial information reporting.
There are many aspects to consider when writing your Sustainability Report, including; Budgets, Timelines, Initiatives, Benchmarking, Barriers, Accounting, Tools, and Policy. Below are some sample Corporate Sustainability Reports. We encourage you to review the samples and discuss with us how to develop one best suited to your particular situation.
Any definition of a “Corporation” will explain that they enjoy most of the rights and responsibilities that any individual may possess. As individuals we are closely linked to the environment for survival, so, simply stated, this is also true of corporations. Some businesses have more obvious impacts on the environment than others. Often, a business will choose a location specifically to capitalize on the availability of abundant natural resources. Regardless of how obvious, all businesses have some environmental impact, through the products they manufacture or purchase, the resources, energy and water they use, the transportation associated with employee commutes, and many other factors.
Improving your company’s environmental performance is good for business. Implementing a Sustainability Plan for your company makes financial sense because it focuses on improving efficiencies. Waste indicates inefficiency: the more waste your business produces, the less efficient it is. By producing less waste, consuming less paper and energy, and using resources more efficiently, your business can cut costs while enhancing the sustainability of its operations. In addition, acting responsibly toward the environment promotes Goodwill among customers, shareholders, and employees.
Committing to sustainability will not only enhance your enterprise’s environmental performance, it will positively affect your bottom line. Certain categories of sustainable retrofits and upgrades are permanently lowering costs by more that 80% and showing ROI’s well under 2 years. Finding sustainable and ecologically preferable products and services that meet your company’s standards and needs can save money, free up working capital and increase sales. Maximizing efficiencies in energy procurement has become a significant cost saving measure for businesses, while exploring alternative energy sources or cogeneration is increasingly providing viable operating expense relief. All of these things have one thing in common: EnviroProfit. When money is made or saved and the environment benefits that is EnviroProfit!
