Environmental Stewardship Projects

"The planet needs profitable, innovative businesses even more than it needs environmentalists. It is companies, not advocacy groups, that will create the technologies needed to save the environment.”

Jonathan Wootliff, former Greenpeace executive

EHS Reporting
Hedstrom Associates continues to provide support to major multinational corporations in developing and strengthening their sustainability reports. Drawing on many years of experience and a strong network of third parties who are involved in rating sustainability reports, we provide guidance on how to position the report for the maximum benefit from external stakeholders.

Long-Term EHS Goals
For a Fortune 250 company, Hedstrom Associates was asked to participate in an internal team developing new five-year EHS goals. Drawing on our experience as a founding member of the Global Reporting Initiative and our insights gained from working with many other companies, we provided what the client called "extremely valuable" support. The CEO accepted the team's proposed goals.

Benchmarking Corporate Responsibility Leadership
As input into a multinational company's strategic planning process, Hedstrom Associates staff conducted a benchmarking on sustainability-related positioning, goals, and actions of competitors, customers, and leaders.

Meeting Facilitation
We are frequently asked to facilitate meetings of corporate EHS staff and have done so for 20 years. We provide proven experience in meeting facilitation with in-depth knowledge of EHS issues and best practices, drawing on insights gained from working with many clients globally.

Environmental Training
Over the years we have conducted hundreds of training sessions in various aspects of environmental, health and safety management. These include: environmental auditing, environmental management systems, and beyond compliance.

Organization Transformation
Hedstrom Associates brings 25 years of experience in helping companies transform their organizations to provide maximum value to their businesses. Gib Hedstrom has led dozens of organization assignments. Gib has helped over 50 companies develop organizations that deliver the right value better, faster, smarter, and at less cost than they did previously.

Management System Development and Implementation
Hedstrom Associates brings over 25 years of leadership in developing and implementing robust EHS management systems. Starting during the mid-1980s while at Arthur D. Little, the EMS work has involved work at dozens of companies and hundreds of operating facilities. Our EMS work involves the full spectrum: developing new systems, evaluating existing ones, conducting ISO 14001 gap analyses, conducting EMS and ISO training, and reporting to management.
