Verdis Group, a certified B Corp, provides consulting services for climate action planning and implementation for the architecture and engineering industry, higher education, municipalities, zoos and aquariums, cultural institutions, the financial services industry, and airports. B Corps meet highly verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability and – unlike traditional corporations – B Corps are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on all interested parties: customers, workers, communities, and the environment.
Our team is led by its two owners and founders, Daniel Lawse and Craig Moody. Functionally, our team operates as a nimble network—quickly adapting to the changing world around us while ensuring organizational resilience. We are effective communicators, purpose driven, and transparent.
We have completed dozens of climate action planning projects in the past 13 years. Our knowledge of climate impacts and vulnerabilities, combined with our ability to collaboratively develop strategies, allows us to offer an unparalleled level of service. Our team is trained in Technology of Participation (ToP) methods to facilitate engaging workshops that enable groups to build consensus and achieve a shared vision. Our Analytics Team specializes in greenhouse gas accounting, decarbonization planning, and creating systems to track progress over time.
In addition to our planning prowess, many of our clients retain us to help them implement strategies that emerge in the planning process, giving us wide-ranging expertise on issues such as climate resilience, emissions reduction, community engagement, waste management, purchasing, transportation, behavior change, and much more. Our implementation work helps to ensure that the climate action plans we help create are grounded in the realities of execution, which ensures our clients are poised to take action.
Conducting scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas inventories is squarely in our wheelhouse. We have a 6-person Analytics Team that is deeply familiar with the GHG Protocol, and the Team conducts sophisticated analyses to project business-as-usual emissions for many large and complicated clients. They model carbon reduction scenarios and work collaboratively with each client to determine the best pathway to decarbonize—one that considers the goals set out by the Science Based Targets Initiative and the financial implications.
Our purpose is to create a thriving and resilient world. We believe a thriving and resilient world is an equitable one, and we are committed to upholding our values in all that we do. This includes both our internal practices and policies and the way in which we deliver our work. We are committed to centering inclusive and equitable participatory decision making in our work, and driving toward decisions and actions that benefit human and non–human parts of nature. In our planning work, our commitment to environmental justice, equity, diversity and inclusion shows up in many ways. Of particular note is our process of stakeholder mapping and ensuring that all voices are represented at the decision–making table, including those that have historically been absent.
