We help our clients turn sustainability into competitive advantage. Whatever the objectives—whether they be improving products and services, developing a climate change strategy, integrating social responsibility into core business functions or developing an environmental management system—Five Winds International can assist.
Our services are distinguished by five hallmarks:
Strategic Consulting
Working with industry, government and academia in countries around the world gives us a broad perspective on current trends and issues. We apply this knowledge and experience to understand business implications and identify business opportunities, helping our clients maximize the economic and environmental benefits of their investment in sustainability.
Custom Solutions
Each client has unique needs and challenges. We engage our clients upfront in interactive, interpretive discussions to identify their challenges and opportunities, and work with them to develop customized solutions. We build specialized teams to create the right mix of skills and expertise required for each client and project.
Global Perspective
Our international operations and reach give us a global advantage on current thinking in our clients' industries. We value regional differences in approaches and use these differences to enhance our strategic and technical work.
Systems Approach
We understand that our clients' products and services are the result of a complex and organized system of materials, energy and people. With our assistance, clients take advantage of the forces that influence their systems by identifying environmental, social and economic opportunities for improvement.
Focus on Implementation
We implement our solutions at all levels, from vision and strategy development to program and system design and implementation through tool development, information management and data collection. We ensure long-term successful implementation of our projects by including a focus on knowledge transfer and building our clients' internal capacity.
