About the Initiatives

GBB initiatives have been carefully crafted by sustainability experts and professionals to reflect the most precise climate science, latest technology, industry standards, and global frameworks. While our initiatives are unique, they are based on global, widely renowned frameworks such as the UN SDGs, SBTI, GRI, B Corp, LEED, ISO, and others. Some initiatives may closely reflect those in these frameworks while others may be combinations of elements of several frameworks. Our initiatives help with compliance while also introducing unique sustainability strategies, so you are not confined to one solution.

We offer hundreds of initiatives, giving you the unique opportunity to build your own sustainability journey. You can select from our main initiative categories to focus on the core sustainability initiatives:

• Energy/Emissions 
• Consumption/Waste
• Water Use
• Transportation 

Or you also have access to our advanced initiatives:

• Community/Society
• Workplace/Culture
• Governance
• Work From Home

You can choose to hide any of the advanced initiatives if you only want to focus on the environmental aspect of sustainability. However, we encourage you to build all three pillars of sustainability, environmental, social, and governance, into your sustainability program. 

One of the most unique features of GBB initiatives is our provided descriptions & key steps. We take the guesswork out of completing our initiatives and tell you how to do it so you can actually see results. 

Points are calculated for each initiative based on effort, impact, and cost and rated low-high in each category. Then, an overall point value is allotted based on these criteria to take into account the total impact of an initiative on your organization and sustainability efforts.
