Emerald Gap Analysis

Clients, vendors, partners and board members are increasingly interested in understanding the environmental impact of your business. With pending regulations from the SEC encouraging transparency around climate impact, it's important for any business operating in the global economy to measure and report on their environmental performance. Obtaining LEED Operations + Maintenance (O+M) certification for existing buildings is a way to demonstrate your commitment to sustainable operations and provide concrete data on your environmental performance.

Many don't know where to start on this journey and that's where we come in. We can help assess your current state and give you the guidance to achieve your goals with the Emerald Gap Analysis.
