Green enterprise maturity model seeks to reduce carbon footprint

Santa Rosa, Calif.-based operations consulting firm The Results Group (TRG) says its Green Enterprise Maturity Model enables companies to assess green maturity relative to their industry, set up green initiatives, and create a road map for building a dominant competitive position.

The model characterizes company readiness and the ability to capitalize on new opportunities by profiling organizations at four levels of maturity—Complier, Dabbler, Consistent Improver, and Enterprise Optimizer—across all enterprise operations, including supply chain, customer support, and product development.

“We see a lasting sea change around sustainability. Now is the time to build competitive advantage with the most effective green initiatives,” says Bill Schneiderman, CEO, TRG. “Winners see opportunities to offer products that meet evolving customer preferences, and to intelligently maximize the value of scarce resources. Our Green Maturity Model [is targeted at] companies that are not satisfied with the status quo and see green as a key element for winning.”
