Find and see the best corporate environmental sustainability news, posts and stories here, at Edenark Group’s “IN THE NEWS.” Let us know if you have environmental sustainability news you would like us to add.
Are you part of a supply chain? If so, prepare for sustainability compliance audits.
As we have reported for some time, and as this article explains, if you are part of a supply chain, prepare for your clients to conduct due diligence audits to confirm your environmental sustainability commitment and compliance.
Just saying you are sustainable is not going to satisfy the compliance audits by your clients, as they have their own reporting obligations. You will need to be verified/certified under a program that is accepted/respected.
Follow the recommendations in this webinar and you will be happy.
Gym For The Brain has renewed its Environmental Sustainability Certification through 2023
Gym For The Brain (https://www.gymforthebrain.com/) a Florida-based brain/body enhancement center that includes high-altitude EWOT (exercise with oxygen training) and six other enhancement tools, has renewed its environmental sustainability commitment by extending its Edenark Group ISO 14001 sustainability certification through 2023.
The Edenark Group ISO 14001 is the world’s premier environmental sustainability certification program and allows SMEs (small to mid-sized enterprises) a program designed and priced specifically for them.
The program, which allows companies to progressively improve at a pace that works for their needs, helps the organization define how it interacts internally, externally, and with the environment. It incorporates energy/waste/water, employee health and performance enhancement, community involvement, procurement and suppliers, compliance and regulations, emergency/security, and stakeholder engagement. Benefits include creating a culture of continual improvement, stakeholder engagement, lower costs, higher revenues and profits, improved employee performance, and…… doing the right thing for the environment and current and future generations.
“People suffer from toxins ingested from the air, from food, from things they touch. Disease is due to a deficiency in the oxidation process to remove these toxins. Gym For The Brain helps its clients remove the toxins their bodies take in. But, when they leave our facility, they are going back into a toxic would. We want to help reduce those external toxins, which is why we decided to pursue the Edenark Group ISO 14001 certification program,” said Michael Cohen, Co-Founder of Gym For The Brain.
“Gym For The Brain is doing wonderful work by helping people remove toxins, reduce inflammation, increase body and brain strength, and improve health. Sending those people back out into a toxic world is frustrating. The Edenark Group ISO 14001 sustainability certification program allows Gym For The Brain to not only help people while at the Gym, but also when they leave the Gym, by proactively participating in improving the environment via internal and external environmental sustainability actions,” says David Goodman, CEO of Edenark Group. “They are agreeing to adhere to the world’s Gold standard for sustainability certification; are choosing to be a leader and part of the solution, not the problem; and are joining an elite fraternity of over 300,000 organizations, in over 150 countries, that have committed to continually improving in every way.”

Why an Authentic Sustainability Strategy Will Win the Talent War
As this article explains, the seismic changes to people’s lives wrought by COVID, the climate emergency and the cost-of-living crisis have all reshaped the demands employees are making on the companies they work for.
Per a 2020 study, 83% of workers believed their employer was doing too little to address climate change and 65% of workers are more likely to work for a company with strong environmental ethics.
This data is consistent with other studies and if these studies are correct, and you are not a legitimate/certified sustainable company, how much will you need to pay in premium, to keep your employees from leaving you in favor of a certified sustainable company? Further, while they stay with you, how motivated and passionate will they be about their work?
At the end of the day, you will lose the top performers, as they will be able to find work in companies that align with their environmental views and you will pay more than market to retain the balance of your employees.
Or, you can become environmentally certified sustainable, do something good for the planet, make more money, and be one of the companies winning top talent.
Contact us. We are happy to help.

ESG is good for business
As we have commented on in the past, there is a difference between what is happening at the company operating level due to ESG versus the political football surrounding how the financial markets have packaged and sold “ESG” funds.
This article is not about ESG funds. It is about the impact of ESG for companies, at the operational level.
Per this article:
- Companies that promote the importance of ESG have seen revenues rise 9.7% versus only 4.5% for those that do not support ESG. That’s a 2.15x gap.
- Companies that promote the importance of ESG have seen profits rise 9.1% versus only 3.7% for those that do not support ESG. That’s a 2.46x gap.
- Companies that promote the importance of ESG have enjoyed 9.9% headcount growth versus only 4.8% headcount growth for companies that do not support ESG. That’s a 2.1x gap.
We’ll let the politicians debate the value of how the financial markets create, audit and manage, ESG funds on Wall Street.
But on Main Street, where companies live and die, incorporating ESG into your operation helps you grow twice as fast as your peers that do not have ESG in their operation.

Wellness Magazine Promotes Best You Can Be™ Supplements
The most important thing you should look for in a vitamin/supplement is its absorption capability. A long ingredient list is meaningless if your body is not absorbing the product. Most of the off the shelf vitamins/supplements pass through you in roughly the same form they went in, as your body is unable to fully break them down and absorb them.
Besides being produced in a FDA-registered and cGMP registered facility that is also third-party certified by NSF, the Best You Can Be™ supplements that are part of Edenark Group’s A Better World Starts With Me™ program, have Enhanced Absorption Technologies™, allowing them to be fully absorbed by your body.
We believe our Best You Can Be™ supplements are the best on the market. We were pleased when Wellness Magazine sent us this article on health, where they promoted our Best You Can Be™ multi-vitamins for men and women. They told us they had done a market study and chose our products.
If you would like the best supplements for your body, consider Best You Can Be™.
