Edenark Group’s Best You Can Be Supplement Program Pre-Launch Notice
One of the unique aspects of the Edenark Group ISO 14001 sustainability certification program is its attention to people. One of the discussion points at the recent COP26 global gathering was the need to incorporate a ‘people piece’ into corporate sustainability.
We appreciate the rest of the world realizing how important the corporate employee health/happiness / wellness/performance component is, to a complete sustainability program. Our ‘A Better World Starts With Me’ program helps people be the best they can be.
Your sustainability certification program MUST have an employee performance / health / happiness / safety component. Given that your employees are likely your biggest expense, certainly your biggest opportunity, and clearly the executional side of any decisions on sustainability, or anything else for that matter, a sustainability program that does not incorporate employee performance, health, happiness and safety, is not a true sustainability program.
The Edenark Group Best You Can Be program and our Gym For The Brain facility are both designed to help corporate employees and individuals become happier, healthier and more productive.
To that end, the Best You Can Be team has been working for four years on improving our customized supplement program and this post is a pre-launch notice that those products have been created and will soon be on the market!
Using Environmental Sustainability to Differentiate
We are honored to have Food Logistics Magazine, Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine and DotCom Magazine all publish our article on how SMEs (small to mid-sized enterprises), who need ways to stand out from their competitive peers, can benefit from “Using Environmental Sustainability to Differentiate”
Supply & Demand Chain Executive
Consumers (both B2B and B2C) want their vendors to be certified sustainable. 7 out of 10 will move their business if they find a certified sustainable company offering the same product or service. In becoming certified sustainable under the Edenark Group ISO 14001 program, the SME does the right thing for the environment while satisfying consumer demand. The result is lower costs and higher revenues, profits, employee performance and brand image.
Tessomo Technologies Will Pursue Edenark Group ISO 14001 Certification
Tessomo Technologies, Ltd, an Ireland-based waste technology company, has chosen to pursue the Edenark Group ISO 14001 sustainability certification.
“As a waste technology company that processes waste into alternative energy, Tessomo Technologies wants to walk the talk, and ensure that, as it builds its operation, it follows the world’s premier sustainability certification standard,” said David Goodman, CEO of Edenark Group.
SMEs will use Sustainability Certification to Recover from Covid-19 Impact
We believe the Covid-19 virus will impact how SMEs go to market. The historical sales-centric approach, with competitive differentiation being tied to an individual (founder, key sales rep, leader), will be impacted by reduced one-on-one interactions. The organization will therefore need to move brand identity from a person to the organization, like larger companies do. But, to evolve into marketing-centric branding of the organization, the SME will need to create differentiation for the organization. Sustainability certification will be one of the key tools to accomplish this

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.
“We provide ASHRAE energy audits and are a leader in energy efficiency credentialing, commissioning, and sustainability consulting”, said Mike Modica, principal in com-ESCO. “We intimately know the sustainability space and via our various companies, provide products, services, auditing and credentialing, to a large number of clients, domestically and internationally.

“When an organization pursues, and attains, the Edenark Group ISO 14001 sustainability certification, they are not just doing it to see their costs go down and revenues and profits go up. They are setting a higher bar for their organization and sending a signal to all those around them,” 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.”

GYM FOR THE BRAIN opens first retail location!
Edenark Group, the world’s premier environmental sustainability certification program, believes sustainability starts with people. As we explain in this PPP, if your sustainability program does not have an integrated and advanced ‘people piece’ that addresses the performance, health, safety and happiness of your employees, you do not have a complete sustainability program.
To address the above, our Best You Can Be operation, which uses proprietary supplements and advanced technology to help employers, employees and families be happier, healthier and more productive, supports an organization’s desire to not only be sustainable, but also to improve its most important asset – its people.
As part of this program, we are pleased to announce the retail opening of our first Gym For The Brain, a training facility that uses oxygen to improve brain and body health.
As to the value of oxygen training, here are some key quotes from Anti-Inflammatory Oxygen Therapy, by Dr. Mark Sircus.
Edenark Group Partners with Intengine to promote its Certified Sustainable Clients
Edenark Group, the world’s premier environmental sustainability certification program for SMEs (small to mid-sized enterprises) has partnered with Intengine, the world’s largest database of social and environmental certifications, to provide an additional channel for Edenark Group ISO 14001 certified organizations to promote their services to B2B/B2C consumers seeking certified sustainable alternatives.
“7 out of 10 consumers will move their business to a certified sustainable company if they can find one,“ said David Goodman, CEO of Edenark Group. “Besides helping our clients become certified, we also help them promote that certification. This partnership with Intengine furthers that cause by giving our clients more exposure to consumers looking to move their business to certified sustainable alternatives.”
“We love the Edenark Group model,” said Ravi Virpal, Director of Sales & Partnerships for Intengine. “They don’t just assist their clients on the expense side of the P&L by helping lower costs; they also help on the revenue side of the P&L. This matches up perfectly with intengine; we have global reach, +120,000 registered companies on our platform, +200,000 individuals in monthly outreach, and 52% of these people are corporate decision makers.”
Virpal continued, “Edenark Group is getting its clients in front of thousands of decision makers looking to move their purchases to certified sustainable companies. We support this. Putting our money where our mouth is, we are offering Edenark Group clients significant discounts on our various programs, enhancing the ROI benefit to them.”
Added Goodman, “Three-quarters of Gen X and Gen Z – that account for 64 percent of the world population – consider a business’ sustainability to be more important than its brand. 25% of consumers have already made purchase decisions based on a company’s proof of sustainability, which is why certified sustainable companies are growing so much faster than their non-certified peers. The next 25-35% of consumers, the Early Majority, are in play right now. We appreciate the partnership with Intengine as it puts Edenark Group ISO 14001 certified companies in front of corporate decision makers who want to move their purchases to certified sustainable vendors due to consumer demand, client demand, regulatory demand….or just because it is the right thing to do.”

Mandatory ESG Disclosure Has Arrived – Will this be an Opportunity for Your Business?
As we have posted for a while, and as this article confirms, the SEC has published “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures” (ie, proposed rule changes) for both domestic and foreign public companies.
These rule changes create requirements for public company disclosures on climate-related Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions.
So, if you are not a public company, should you ignore this?
No, you should not ignore this, as there is both risk and opportunity for you.
As to your immediate risk – For those public companies that either believe Scope 3 emissions are material to investors, or that have included Scope 3 in their emission reduction targets/goals, they will be required to seek sustainability-program carbon emission Scope 1 and Scope 2 data from their value-chain (both upstream and downstream)….and this will cause them to adjust their selection of all organizations in their value chain, likely impacting you.
As to your future risk – The number of public companies that follow the above and include Scope 3 will grow quickly, having a greater impact on you.
As to your immediate opportunity – As a certified sustainable private company with a carbon neutral program, you will be able to support your existing clients who seek Scope 3 information.
As to your future opportunity – As the SEC states at the bottom of page 217 – “In addition, large companies that are voluntarily disclosing Scope 3 emissions information currently are also working with suppliers to increase access to emissions data and improve its reliability which could have positive spillover effects for other companies that use the same suppliers.” – those suppliers who proactively become sustainable and have a carbon neutrality program, and participate in helping their pubic-company clients with their Scope 3 reporting, will be in demand by other public companies facing the same issues.
Edenark Group can help you become environmentally certified sustainable and help you develop your carbon neutral and ESG programs.
IPCC Climate Report Prompts Comment from Encompass Trading
The recent IPCC report on global warming brings the global business community nearer to the “Y” in the road regarding the choice between being part of the solution or remaining part of the problem.
Encompass Trading (PTY) Ltd, of Pretoria South Africa, has made the choice to be part of the solution. The company has decided to pursue the Edenark Group ISO 14001 environmental sustainability certification.
Here is a quote from the below release –
“The Encompass Trading team has been excited about the program since we started discussing it. But this past week, after seeing the new IPCC report on global warming, we felt even more committed to being part of the solution, rather than being a company that looks the other way. Edenark Group met with us on zoom late last week and we discussed ideas for us to consider, to become more sustainable. Some are operational and have no cost. Most looked easy to administer and fun to execute. We realize there are many things we can do, with little to no personal or organizational hardship that will have a positive impact on the environment. We’re looking forward to having fun, doing good, and holding our heads high as an organization that is on the right side of tackling this problem,” said James Ojo, Director and CEO of Encompass Trading (PTY) Ltd.
The Edenark Group ISO 14001 is the world’s premier environmental sustainability certification program and allows SMEs (small to mid-sized enterprises) the ability to attain the world’s most popular environmental sustainability certification standard via a program designed and priced specifically for them. Edenark Group also helps clients pursue carbon neutrality and ESG compliance, using the Edenark Group ISO 14001 as the foundation.
