EarthShare


Company Visited: EarthShare

Where: Seattle, Washington

Website: www.esw.org

Mission per company’s website:EarthShare Washington (ESW) plays a vital role in promoting environmental education, volunteerism, and charitable giving by partnering with businesses across Washington.”

Final Thoughts:The site visit was EarthShare an approach to sustainability. We met with this person was Jeff Whiton. This is what was said the company is the federation of other environmental nonprofit agencies. It focuses on employee engagement and where they educate employees about environment. There are 21 local charities and 44 national/international charities. They offer sustainable workbooks and software to promote sustainability within employees. The company actually started a funding organization. There are no fees for services provided. The things I gained were to see how much education plays a big part in world of sustainability. The way funding is developed thru donations. There are companies willing to charge no fees to provide consultation to companies interested in improving the company’s sustainability program or initiatives.
