A Sustainability Program is the integration of existing programs such as pollution prevention, water conservation and energy management with an environmental management system in consideration of social performance, supply chain management and global climate change.  A Sustainability Program is based on the concept of continual improvement and includes goal setting, management review of performance, corrective actions and reporting.  RTP can assist with one or all of these activities to make your Sustainability Program a success.  RTP offers the following Sustainability Services:

  • Comprehensive Sustainability Development
  • Environmental Management System (EMS) Development, Implementation and Training

In today’s global market place, public awareness and involvement in environmental issues has caused companies to reevaluate their commitment to environmental stewardship.  Being viewed as “Green” is no longer enough.  Companies must implement sustainable business practices and document program results in order to satisfy public scrutiny.  Implementing any new management program requires time and resources.  Implementing Sustainability Programs have provided positive results.  Prior programs have demonstrated both tangible and intangible benefits to implementing sustainable business practices.  These include financial benefits from waste reduction, energy savings and efficient use of resources, as well as enhanced company reputation and brand image.
