A word about waste… SMC’s definition of waste extends well beyond what lies in the dumpster out back. We’re talking about “financial waste.” It’s anything that prevents your company from achieving the highest level of efficiency in manufacturing, customer service or profitability. It’s all of those “little” things that have a “big” impact on your bottom line.

Our Approach

SMC’s approach includes an initial assessment of your corporation, government agency, educational institution or sporting venue/event to evaluate current programs and processes, and to elicit the most effective plan for cost-saving environmental footprint reductions. 

Our High-Impact Sustainability Assessment identifies key short term opportunities for improving ROI.  Thorough systems audits are conducted to identify specific areas of waste and inefficiency in energy systems, water usage, employee behavior and operational practices, just to name a few.

Our primary goal is to identify no-cost, low-cost, and short ROI improvements that will deliver the highest financial return in the shortest possible timeframe. Areas of opportunity might include lighting retrofits, cleaning and maintenance system audits or employee awareness and engagement activities.  Initial assessments may also unveil a number of long term environmental stewardship targets that can deliver value through increased brand awareness and corporate responsibility ratings and incremental sales and marketing opportunities.

We design and implement our short and long term sustainability action plans to fulfill your specific needs. Our strategic and tactical plans are developed in a way that allows you to understand, prioritize, frame, and then incorporate them into a new sustainability vision that will fit neatly into your strategic business plan.  On-going communications and training programs are also available to help ensure you receive the necessary internal and external stakeholder buy-in to implement your new vision.
