Case Studies

J. Gowdy Consulting works with clients to achieve optimal sustainability: a level of sustainability that aligns with the company's business framework and financial structure. We achieve this by layering strategic business analysis, an understanding of simple and complex business models and a rare depth and range of environmental perspective..

A business can improve its sustainability in its supply chain, waste stream, physical plant, energy load, human resources and hundreds of other places. Few companies can afford them all – and no company can survive them all at once. J. Gowdy Consulting works with management to identify the changes that will do the most to reduce resource use, waste, cost and risk while also increasing profit and improving brand reputation. We then design the optimum sequence and timing of changes to minimize organizational transition stress.

Coupled with our strategic systems approach is our deep experience in environmental sustainability. Our founder, Jeff Gowdy, has worked on the launch of both GE's ecomagination and the roll-out of Walmart Sustainable Value Networks. Our firm has also worked on the sustainability strategy launches for Bridgestone, the world's largest tire company, and Ingram Barge, America's largest inland waterways transporter.
