Our Sustainability Consulting Services

When Everything Matters (WEMCo) thrives at bringing possibility into the world and then helping business convert ideas into action. We coach leaders. Together we imagine the future, communicate a compelling vision of that future, and engage others to co-create that future. Inspired by biology and ecosystem science, WEMCo places companies into the context of their business ecosystems. Defining company objectives in the context of local, regional, and global social-and-economic development turns business activity into a powerful force for scaling-up Sustainable Development.
Through Corporate Sustainability, we pair long-range, corporate goals with global megatrends in ways that create multiple benefits with lasting solutions. Our work focuses on three critical intertwined core areas: Environmental Strategy, Cultural Integration, and Innovation. |
[When Everything Matters brings] positivity, high energy...the ability to understand the various facets of a many-sided issue and interpret them clearly to all of the stakeholders in a non-confrontational manner. [Also WEMCo is great at] assisting in setting, mapping the route and achieving goals that contribute to a happy workplace. |
Environmental
Wayfinding
WEMCo helps companies internalize what used to be externalities i.e. move environmental issues from a cost of operations to a profit driver. We help leaders see Sustainability as profitability and move it from “Bolt On” initiatives to “Built In” practices. Strategic Planning We lead the planning and design for efficient Environmental & Social Impact Assessments, Scoping and Feasibility Studies, and Environmental Management Systems. (Through our broader network, we can also draw on technical experts to conduct these regulatory studies.) Through goal-setting, based on a wide array of environmental science, we can help companies set long-range goals and quick-win targets to both minimize negative impacts and maximize profitability. Benchmarking We review Sustainability frameworks and benchmarks and help leaders choose what metrics to track, monitor, and report. |
Cultural
Leading
WEMCo prepares Senior Leadership with the concepts needed to transform strategic thinking into engagement, commitment, and achievement. Navigating Uncertainty Based on the science of natural and human disturbances that force change on ecosystems, we guide companies to navigate uncertainty and lead for the future. In nature, ecosystems do not always remain in balance. Environmental changes alter the stability of an ecosystem. This sort of imbalance can be opportunity or harmful or both. The same holds true for disturbances in a business ecosystem. WEMCo can help you restore balance. Stakeholder Balance We assess current stakeholder engagement programs for their effectiveness. Through best-practice frameworks, processes, and business models we position companies as both industry leaders and as global solutions leaders. |
Innovation
Design-thinking
WEMCo brings design-thinking to all aspects of a company. The process starts high-level and looks at all aspects of the business through social and environmental lenses. With an all-inclusive blend of theory and practice, we take companies on an organizing journey that designs new and different ways of doing business. We design institutional change that strengthens the organization, builds brand equity, and increases profits. Alliance Building We find external resources whose skills and experience complement the clients’. This leads to unimagined opportunities, mutual benefits, and increased social acceptance. Whole-Systems Value Creation We discover complimentary opportunities that create value that is bigger than the sum of its parts. |
