Sustainability Strategy Solution

Your Starting Point for Sustainability

If you're a grower, shipper, processor, or industry association just beginning your sustainability journey or unsure how to move forward, you're not alone.

This solution is built for fresh produce organizations that are:

  • Facing growing sustainability expectations

  • Unsure where to begin or what to prioritize

  • Balancing sustainability with other business objectives 

  • Working with limited time, internal expertise, or budget

If that sounds familiar, we’re here to help you move forward with clarity, structure, and momentum.

Sustainability Strategy for Fresh Produce Farms and Growers

Why Start with Strategy?

Jumping into sustainability without a plan can lead to confusion, delays, wasted time and resources, and missed opportunities.

Starting with strategy helps your organization:

  • Clarify what matters most

  • Create early wins and internal buy-in

  • Build a foundation to scale from

  • Align sustainability with business goals

  • Feel confident in, not overwhelmed, by the process

We make sustainability manageable, practical, and achievable, no matter where you're starting.

Produce Sustainability Consulting

What We Deliver

This isn’t just another checklist or compliance tool. Over 8–10 weeks, we work collaboratively with your team to:

  • Inventory current sustainability efforts

  • Identify 2–3 strategic priorities aligned with your business

  • Build a 6 to12 month roadmap to guide your next steps

  • Deliver an executive summary of your current state, priorities, and action plan

You’ll walk away with a clear, actionable strategy without unnecessary complexity or overwhelm.

Who This Is For

The Sustainability Strategy Solution is built for produce industry organizations that:

  • Are new to Measure to Improve

  • Are early in their sustainability journey

  • Have sustainability “on their plate” but not yet in their plan

  • Feel pressure from retailers, buyers, or industry standards but don’t yet have a roadmap

Often, sustainability lands on someone who is also responsible for food safety, marketing, or operations. Not only do we help them make sense of it all, we empower them to take action and lead their sustainability efforts.

The Value of Starting with Strategy

Our Sustainability Strategy Solution is a fast, focused, and cost-effective way to:

  • Understand where you are and where you want to go
