Meaningful support for deep green goals.
We help great companies identify and manage the risks of sustainable innovation so they can do great work without the surprises.
Innovate. Stay relevant. Reduce risk.
There’s always risk in doing something new - but we weigh that risk against the cost of inaction and the very real risks of a rapidly changing climate. Grounded in this ethos, we develop mindful and well-reasoned strategies, so great companies can keep innovating. We leverage collaborative opportunities and connections to engage stakeholders and we manage risk by creating meaningful educational content that resonates with diverse audiences.
Unique Solutions for a Changing Context
We apply a legal and risk management lens to cutting-edge projects. We leverage our numerous sustainability credentials (LEED Green Associate, WELL AP, Fitwel Ambassador, EcoDistricts AP) along with more than ten years of past experience practicing construction law to identify, analyze and manage risks - before they become problems.
Innovation is Essential
To stay relevant, meet consumer expectations for sustainable, healthier products and services and comply with evolving regulatory requirements, companies must innovate.

At Sustainable Strategies, we have studied the research, cases and regulatory guidance to date. We combine this knowledge base with our experience and sustainability credentials to support identification and resolution of project and product specific goals and challenges. We are thought leaders in this space and have consistently been on the leading edge of extrapolating lessons learned to new markets, including “healthy” building materials and other consumer products.
Put simply, we help companies position their sustainable goals and results in an authentic and reasonably defensible way that minimizes manageable risks. We also provide tailored trainings for clients and teams, because ensuring that all project team members have a baseline understanding of the issues, best practices and goals can be an effective way to manage the overall risk portfolio of a project.
