UnCommon
Sense: Business Leadership for a Sustainable Future
The
UnCommon
Sense program
equips businesses to make desired changes in their operations and
empowers them to become sustainability leaders in their communities and
industry sectors.
To graduate from UnCommon
Sense, each business is required to complete assignments
from each module and prepare a final presentation and written report
that summarizes their actions and operational improvements. Businesses
achieve points for completing these action items, and a minimum number
of points are required to graduate. Examples of the action items
include conducting waste stream audits and measuring waste stream,
baseline energy and water audits and use tracking, calculating
CAFÉ measure and conducting a greenhouse gas inventory.
Businesses are required to document and quantify all action and
operational improvements made. Upon completing the course, they compile
all documentation and action items and present to the group. This
information comes in many forms: spreadsheets and tracking matrices,
graphs, work plans, surveys, communications strategies, mission/vision
statements, resource lists, job descriptions, photographs, policies,
marketing materials. The intent of this reporting is to actually
quantify what a business was able to achieve over the two-year period.
Each graduating class is profiled in an UnCommon Sense
annual report highlighting their accomplishments and positive changes
over the two-year course. This report will detail each
business’ individual accomplishment and how the
participants’ collective efforts are improving the
region’s economy, communities and environment.
