Sustainable Consulting

for Every Organization

Sustainability is more than a buzzword, it’s an essential element of a successful organization. However, beginning your transformation into a sustainable organization can seem complicated and intimidating. Breaking Ground’s sustainable consulting services make it easy for organizations of every type and size to implement sustainable practices into your operations.

Small Business

Most small to mid-size businesses simply can’t afford a full-time Sustainability Officer. Save money and valuable resources by letting Breaking Ground implement and manage your customized sustainability program for you.

Non-Profits

Non-profit organizations have a lot to gain by implementing sustainable practices into their operations and culture. Breaking Ground can help your board to improve efficiency and minimize your environmental impact.

Corporations

Even large corporations with dedicated sustainability personnel often need help improving and refining their programs. We work with leadership teams and program managers to improve corporate responsibility and resiliency.
