Sustainability - find the right track
Imagine a dynamic yard, full of wagons, locomotives and people unloading and loading, tracks in all directions. It’s a jumble. In the middle of all this, you can see the switching locomotive that calmly and systematically connects wagons and groups of wagons, pushing them to get started, over the switching back and onto the right track. Switching locomotives are usually powered by diesel, but the Canadian company Railpower was early in the process of testing hybrid technology and batteries for their Greengoat model; the sustainable alternative.
systematic and joyful
Greengoat is a sustainability agency that works in the same way. The issue of sustainability is complex and it is not easy to get it right. Greengoat acts as a calm and systematic switcher locomotive. We help, support and push companies and organisations to get started, get over the hurdle and onto the right track.
The founders of Greengoat are three women who tackle complexity and confusion with care, structure, order and clarity. Today, the agency is run by two of the founders, who have long backgrounds in industry and understand the importance of digging where you stand, identifying what sustainability work will be most beneficial for each company or organisation, linking the benefits to core business and business strategy, and systematically establishing goals and action plans that are relevant, challenging and possible. Analysis is needed, targets and instruments are needed, change is needed and communication is needed, both internally and externally. This is the essence of Greengoat.
