Vantage Point

Vertical Green

INTRODUCTION

Vertical Green™ is the business transformation process we have designed to help companies prepare for the future risks and potential opportunities of climate change.  It is an integrated process to bring emissions awareness and energy use into the heart of the company, and then reduce that impact.  The idea is to amplify these issues out to customers and suppliers, so that companies become both agents of change and pro-active in maintaining value.  The process gives our client companies access to our expertise in strategy, research, PR and green-focused initiatives.

 

The main tenets of Vertical Green™ are:  Mobilisation; Foundation; Develop Programme and Implementation.  Each section builds upon the other in order to create a ripple effect through the company.  Vertical Green™ is a flexible tool that can be integrated to the needs and requirements of each of our client companies.
