Stella Sustainability

We are experienced change agents committed to finding ways to rejuvenate and restore our environment. We use the following as our tools to achieve results that help change individual and organizational daily habits: The Natural Step Framework, Triple Bottom Line Accounting, Systems Thinking, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Biomimicry, The Living Building Challenge, Doughnut Economics, Multi-Criteria Analysis, Lifecycle Assessments (LCA) and the Precautionary Principle. As your trusted partner, we will help you negotiate the complexities of Sustainability and help you navigate from overwhelmed to proactive. Then let us help you and your organization create a sustainable world to leave our children. We offer the following: Sustainability & Climate Change Education, Strategic Whole Systems Planning & Visioning for Sustainability, Sustainability Assessments including water, waste, materials, social & energy/carbon, Organic Certification & Sustainable Farming, Greening your Supply Chain & Procurement and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory. WE BELIEVE that every person can make a difference if given the correct set of tools. These tools must include a basic foundation in sustainability, an ability to use a Whole Systems Approach and the enthusiasm to make the process enjoyable. WE BELIEVE that using a Whole Systems Approach is vital to success. In simple terms, this means looking at all the interconnected parts of a system/organization, as well as the elements that feed in and out of this system/organization. It is surprising how often an action that was intended to produce positive results has unintended consequences. We must remember that Sustainability does not have a one size fits all solution. WE BELIEVE each person in an organization is best equipped to identify and then change their own unsustainable practices. We provide each client with a solid sustainability foundation and a mindset to think critically.
