About Us

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.

Tracking & Reporting

The EcoVisor sustainability reporting tool gives customers more robust access to important recycling information and diversion reports. Clients can access different versions of their data depending on the complexity of the reporting required and the manner in which they would like the information to be delivered.

The EcoVisor platform allows customers to:

  • Track diversion statistics for one or multiple locations
  • Document tonnages that are recycled or composted
  • Calculate diversion percentages
  • Calculate mitigated green house gases saved (determined in accordance with the EPA’s WARM formula) by diverting materials rather than sending to a landfill
