A sustainable company must strike a balance between the environmental, social and economic effects and benefits of its operations. These three components are not in competition with each other, but are mutually reinforcing when strategically assessed. Our suite of services includes:

- Assessment
-
Fluid's sustainability assessment services provide a comprehensive look into your company or organization's operational sustainability performance. Fluid draws on our expertise with managing energy efficiency programs as a foundation for our technical sustainability assessment; an in-depth evaluation focused on energy, water, waste, materials, and toxics. By analyzing the use, production and management of these key elements, and matching these with the social impacts of your operations, Fluid provides a complete picture of your operational sustainability. Our sustainability assessment will also provide insight into your associated carbon impact, so you can make informed and strategic management decisions. The result is clear picture of the opportunities for improving efficiency, increasing employee engagement and retention, cutting costs, and improving your bottom line.
- Strategic plan development and implementation
-
Whether you need a long-term operational sustainability strategy, program or product development assistance, or a marketing and partnership development planning, Fluid can help. The Fluid team's experience in strategic planning, product and program development, implementation and marketing allows us to consistently meet and exceed client goals and expectations. That translates into growth and success for our clients.
- Sustainable purchasing policy development
-
For most companies, the two primary sources of their environmental and social impacts are purchasing and supply chain activities. Adaptations to your purchasing policy can help eliminate toxics in the workplace, reduce waste, cut down on energy usage and reduce carbon emissions. Purchasing changes can improve employee health, positively engage your employees and community and protect the environment while maintaining or improving your bottom line. Fluid can help you analyze your current purchasing stream and develop policies that will help your company meet your goals. We can also help you develop environmentally-preferable contracting language and provide training for your purchasing staff to help them implement your new purchasing policy and work with vendors to achieve the desired results.
