Involve the right people

Vision and strategy MUST come first!

Vision must be aligned with corporate culture and history

Goals originate from vision

Strategies and metrics align with goals

Reflect corporate culture - no “cookie cutter” solution

Build on what has already been done

Use branding to facilitate communication (internal)

Team approach results in company-wide support and buy-in

Carbon and other footprints can become “the project”
