Sustainability Consulting

KUZUKA has provided strategic sustainability planning services in a number of industry sectors, including agriculture, wineries, manufacturing, and tourism. Organizations that invest in comprehensive sustainability planning will position themselves with a competitive advantage. KUZUKA can identify potential opportunities and risks for our clients so that they can emerge as leaders in the low carbon economy. Our strategic planning services are tailored to meet the needs of the individual client, but could include an assessment of the following:

• Regulatory Implications of GHG legislation (cap and trade, carbon taxes, mandatory reporting)
• Relationships with product distribution channels (e.g. Walmart Sustainability Index);
• Life cycle assessments of products;
• Developing corporate sustainability plans (vision-building, action items, implementation);
• Marketing of products and services to increasingly eco-conscious consumers;
• Strategies for implementing sustainable management practices in an organization;

KUZUKA can also provide training sessions (on-site or on-line) or other educational resources to introduce the concepts of sustainability to your organization. KUZUKA president Steve Boles is the lead instructor for GHG management courses through the respected Sustainability Learning Centre. KUZUKA has also presented custom training courses on sustainaibility for numerous individual companies. KUZUKA is also experienced at developing other kinds of educational resources specific to the needs of an individual company or industry sector, such as the sustainable manufacturing toolkit we are developing for the manufacturers of Huron County and the environmental scorecard we developed for a major Ontario tourism association.
