From materiality studies to data collection to roadmapping, the team discuss what steps to take (in what order) for a smooth start to sustainability.

Every Friday morning, we have an all-team meeting that includes 15 mins of learning. "Learning" is a broad term that applies to personal topics of interest, local nonprofits telling us about their work, new sustainability start-ups, and Ted Talks we thought people might enjoy.

We're kicking off monthly deep dives on our Foresight Forum!

Multiple divisions in your company need the same energy and sustainability data, but they're probably all doing the work repeatedly to gather it (and they're paying for it). Here's a look at a better approach.

We typically think about this around organizations, buildings, and products.

Here's how Foresight is uniquely positioned to support all aspects of your sustainability journey.

Until now, industrial organizations have largely been insulated from the mounting pressure for carbon reporting and sustainability work, but that's shifting -- fast.

We're here to make complex energy and sustainability topics simple, approachable, and fun.

Every organization, regardless of industry or size, uses energy in one form or another. For decades, utility invoices were another bill to be paid and forgotten about, but as markets shift and evolve, energy consumption is becoming a vital metric to understand and track. We outline 4 reasons your organization should consider adopting an Energy Management System (EMS). Before we discuss that, though, what is an EMS?

Last month I had the opportunity to attend Fast Company's Innovation Festival in New York City. Over three days, I attended various panels, events, and interviews all focused on a specific dimension of business innovation. While it is fun to imagine tomorrow's great advancements, I left the festival focused more on today since that is – after all – where it all begins!

Maybe you've heard someone say, “we vote with our dollars.” The basic idea is this: we are told that - to be sustainable consumers - we should buy plant-based products that are compostable or recyclable where we live (insert any number of sustainable marketing terms here). It puts the onus on each person to use their purchasing power to drive climate change, one compostable product at a time.

We believe in the power of transparency to drive change. When companies are open, honest, and accurate about their ESG efforts, stakeholders can engage in improvement on all levels. Certifications and standards provide unifying frameworks for reporting these efforts, building accountability and consistency in the marketplace.

At Foresight, we love the adage, “you can’t manage what you don’t measure.” Without actual data, you can’t make strategic decisions for the good of your company - and others agree. While there are a host of reporting frameworks for companies, the CDP is one of the most comprehensive frameworks with unique benefits. Because of its layered scoring structure, though, it can be challenging to get a “good score.” Here’s a look at how it works.
