We believe that Sustainability is only truly sustainable if it affects the triple bottom line: the people, the planet, and an organization’s profitability.
Most organizations need help in achieving ambitious sustainability goals. The Okapi Environmental Services team have created successful programs for broadly diverse groups, from kindergarteners to rabid soccer fans to high-tech campuses. Experience with this range of clients equips us to guide and empower organizations to achieve their sustainability goals
With a unique skill set, Okapi Environmental Services provides end-to-end, turn-key, sustainability solutions through Strategic Development, Tactical Executional Support, Advanced Reporting, and Data/Performance Analysis.
We provide consulting services to map out a playbook for your project, breaking it into smaller pieces and utilizing an approach that combines accountability, transparency, and teamwork to achieve permanence in a brand’s value advancement.
It is imperative that progress in a brand’s value system be organic – not driven from the top only but also accepted from the bottom up. We call that change “from the C-suite to the street.” Okapi Environmental Services is about shifting paradigms and affecting change.
Leading change that transforms the people, the impact on the planet, and the profitability of organizations whose focus is on a triple bottom line. We see our role as a sherpa: a guide to walk with you as a partner, to navigate the path from the status quo to a truly-sustainable, better organization, elevating the value and loyalty to the brand from the C-suite to the street.
