“I have taught packaging sustainability since the Spring 2008 to MSU packaging students. The main goal of this course is to evaluate the environmental footprint of product/packaging systems using LCA concepts and streamlined LCA software.
After using many types of software, I have found that PackageSmart does a great job of encouraging system thinking and developing a product/packaging life-cycle perspective among my students.”

Sustainable Return on Investment (S-ROI)

In many organizations, professionals from diverse disciplines are struggling to reconcile the need for demonstrable financial returns with their corporate and personal commitment to sustainability.

How do you ensure that you are making decisions that optimize sustainability performance without merely shifting the burden?

 
ESG has pioneered the development of Sustainable Return on Investment (S-ROI), a methodology which enables you to look through the lens of each stakeholder and assess and compare investment opportunities – so you can find the combination that justifies your commitments to socially and environmentally responsible corporate or institutional activity, while minimizing risk and maximizing profitability.

 
  • 3 Pillars

ESG developed 3Pillars software to support Sustainable Return-on-Investment or, S-ROI projects by enabling a facilitator to collect and organize inputs from across large organizations – by entering and analyzing data from an S-ROI workshop or virtual discussion involving participants from finance, engineering, manufacturing, marketing, sales and other disciplines. It’s easy to compile alternatives, scenarios, including costs and benefits into a simple, intuitive graphic user interface – when all voices are heard and all angles considered, your findings will withstand tough scrutiny.

3Pillars software is a tool to expedite SROI, or sustainable return on investment.
