Per this article, Sustainability = Higher Profits

• Energy cost reduction
• Waste reduction
• Cheaper access to capital
• Premium pricing
• Attracting and keeping top talent
• Driving innovation
• Improving processes
• Reducing climate risk
• Reducing regulatory risk
• Reducing reputation risk
• Reducing supply chain risk
• Winning new business from clients/customers that want sustainable vendors

And finally, after you improve your valuation via the benefits of the above….

• The majority of investors will give up to a 10% price premium for companies with a mature sustainability program

So, if you become certified sustainable, not only will you improve your profitability and valuation, but you will also get a bonus premium for having a mature sustainability program.

Not bad.

If this is appealing, read this on what you want in a sustainability program, watch this master class, and contact us.

Per this study, 68% of Americans, across all demographic groups, will pay more for sustainability.  (This is consistent with many studies over the past few years.)

Here is the caveat – trust, clarity and value determine if they follow through.  (Again, consistent with prior studies.)

• If you claim you are sustainable, but are not certified/verified, don’t expect results.
• If, due to you not being certified, your claims are confusing, again, don’t expect results.
• If your offer is simply not a good value, don’t expect results.

Net, before you say this, and all the other studies saying the same thing, are wrong, you might want to test it.

• Have your company become certified sustainable.
• Have the entity that got you certified help you craft and publish your messages.
• Make sure your offer is a competitively good value.

Do you have a globally ranked blog/website helping you promote your business?

What if you could get that just by doing something good?

Per this press release, Edenark Group, a global provider of environmental services, wellness services and green project financing services, including the world’s premier environmental sustainability certification program for SMEs, the Edenark Group ISO 14001, will finish 2025 as the world’s 23^rd ranked corporate blog/website, per Feedspot.

Besides helping clients become environmentally certified sustainable under the Edenark Group ISO 14001 program, Edenark Group also helps its clients promote their certification, for competitive differentiation and brand benefit.

“We start promoting our clients right after they sign up, even before we get them certified. The first one discusses the client’s pursuit of sustainability certification. Given our reach, the value of this single post / press release exceeds the cost of their certification. Net, they achieve a positive ROI even before they are certified,” states David Goodman, CEO of Edenark Group.

“The value continues for our clients as we help them write and publish posts and press releases, as part of our service to them, for the entire length of their association with us. We have many clients who have been with us for years and we continue, as part of our service, to help them promote their company being certified sustainable,” added Goodman.

“For a small to mid-sized business, finding a way to cost-effectively differentiate from competitors is critical to survival and success. Per many studies, roughly 70% of all consumers, across all demographics, will move their business if they find a certified sustainable company as an option. Nielsen converts this to financial success, saying a certified sustainable company can grow its margin 5x faster than its non-certified competitors. But for this to happen, people need to hear about your company being certified. That’s why we provide promotion as part of our service. We help get the word out. For a SME, having the 23rd ranked corporate blog helping to promote your company being something most consumers will move their business to is a powerful benefit,” concludes Goodman.
