About

What is a Green Audit?

A Green Audit is a holistic sustainability audit that assesses your organization’s climate impact and identifies opportunities to become more sustainable and climate resilient.

The Process

How do we do it?

Together we will establish an earth team made up of organization members and provide them with climate education and information sessions. In addition, we conduct assessments and analysis of the organization’s building and operations. This holistic process evaluates six areas of climate impact:

  1. Building & Energy
  2. Transportation
  3. Waste
  4. Food
  5. Water Conservation
  6. Green Infrastructure

Outcomes

What can you expect?

Through this process your team will be equipped to guide your organization in reducing its climate impact. You will receive a final report with the Green Audit’s findings and a climate action plan created in collaboration with the earth team. The climate actions will be prioritized based on their feasibility and climate benefit to help you continue your organization’s sustainability journey.

Receive a climate action plan for your organization, compiled in a final report of the audit.

Have an established Earth Team within your organization to implement climate actions!

Greater knowledge of climate change and the steps your organization can take to help mitigate its effects!

Green Audit Packages

While we believe in the holistic approach of the full Green Audit, we also recognize that some situations may be better suited to certain elements of the Green Audit. Below we have listed the three packages we offer to our clients. If one of the options below doesn’t quite fit your organization’s needs, please contact us so we can determine a plan that works for you!

THE FULL GREEN AUDIT

The Full Green Audit includes an analysis of the six areas of impact listed above. This is best suited to an organization that owns or rents their entire building or property since there is generally a greater potential to implement climate actions in the areas of building efficiency, green infrastructure and water conservation.

TENANT'S GREEN AUDIT

The Tenant’s Green Audit is designed for organizations that want to take climate action in their office or rented workspace. This package covers waste, transportation and food. The audit process develops ways to reduce emissions and climate impact for an organization in a tenant’s situation.

WASTE REDUCTION GREEN AUDIT

The Waste Reduction Green Audit is focused specifically on the organization’s waste. This Audit includes presentations on waste and food and covers ways to reduce and manage waste better. It includes a waste audit and a climate action report.

Waste Audits

A waste audit is one area we evaluate as part of the Green Audit. If you’re interested in a partial audit, we offer waste audits as a stand-alone option. Please contact us to discuss what a waste audit could look like in your context.
