Today, through the efforts of our team's groundbreaking work, sustainability is a recognized tool for competitive advantage. GreenOrder is a boutique consulting firm that occupies a unique position in the market - where business strategy and environmental innovation meet. We are scientists, engineers, lawyers, journalists, policy professionals, marketing gurus, tough mudders - and management consultants. And we are passionate about helping companies create a culture of environmental innovation that will advance positive change. Why GreenOrder Principal Dan Saccardi (index.php?option=com_content view=article id=83 section=TEAM) joined GreenOrder in 2008. His story: "Aside from misplaced early aspirations to be the next Darryl Strawberry, I've wanted to work in the environmental field for as long as I can remember. Four years at a national environmental non-profit after college deepened my environmental skill set and passion, and awakened my interest in working closely with leading companies on the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.And GreenOrder was exactly the company I was looking for. Being a boutique consulting firm, we have the luxury of focusing on the intersection of sustainability and business strategy. Though a pioneer in this new field, GreenOrder is still an entrepreneurial company that encourages creativity and innovation in how we operate, and how we approach our clients' problems. We also attract an incredible group of talented, passionate people who challenge me every day. And finally, because we are a relatively small, flat organization, since joining GreenOrder as an Engagement Manager I have been responsible for leading projects, which includes everything from managing our project team, guiding team problem solving, and building client relationships. For all these reasons, my time at GreenOrder has been a ceaselessly rewarding experience."
