Developing sustainable business practices is also one of our greatest strengths. Through an exploratory process, GCG will uncover green practices that exist within a company and then work to generate effective initiatives that meet the needs of the organization. Tangible milestones are determined through a collaborative approach. Examples of work products include: guidelines for tenant improvements, policies for operational purchasing procurement, green housekeeping programs, energy benchmarking, waste management plans, and greenhouse gas emissions inventory with reduction strategies. Climate services have extended from corporate clients to higher education institutions and municipalities interested in understanding their operation-wide greenhouse gas emissions and developing a roadmap to meet set goals or commitments.  GCG develops the climate action plan based on emissions reduction targets.
