Sustainability
Grounded in care for people and the communities we serve
Why Sustainability Matters to Us
Sustainability is woven into how Harbor View Consulting shows up in the world. Every decision reflects the culture we protect every day.
Connection matters.
In-person exchanges with colleagues and clients deepen trust, cultivate nuance, and unlock creativity—core to the experience we deliver.
Ethics inform action.
Consulting decisions carry real impact. We ground every recommendation in accountability to people and the planet.
Adaptability and scale.
Our scale lets us pivot quickly, reflect often, and take intentional action larger organizations can find difficult.
Digital-First Collaboration
We architect engagements around cloud-based tooling, shared knowledge hubs, and asynchronous workflows that keep teams aligned without excess travel.
Human-Centered Presence
When being in the room accelerates discovery or unlocks stakeholder alignment, we invest intentionally in face time that moves the work forward.
Circular Mindset
We seek vendors and partners whose practices mirror our own, prioritize reuse, and continuously refine how work gets done with less waste.
Intentional Moments, Real Impact
Sustainability guides how we design every engagement. We balance digital efficiency with purposeful, human-centered interactions so our clients feel supported while our footprint stays mindful.
Whether we are co-creating solutions in person or collaborating asynchronously, we choose the mode that drives outcomes, trust, and stewardship for the communities we touch.
How We Work: Digital-First and Intentional
We act on what we can influence today. These practices keep our footprint lean while reinforcing the high-touch experience clients expect.
| Practice | What We Do Today |
|---|---|
| Digital-First Tools | All deliverables, reporting, drafts, and internal documents stay in the cloud. We minimize printing and use digital channels for communication, storage, research, and collaboration. |
| In-Person when It Counts | Face-to-face engagement is reserved for moments where presence deepens trust and outcomes. We travel intentionally when the collaboration impact outweighs the footprint. |
| Mindful Operations | We choose services, vendors, and technology that reflect our sustainability values when possible, prioritize shared resources, and continually look for ways to curb waste. |
What We're Not Doing (Yet) — and Where We're Headed
Transparency keeps us accountable. Here's where we are still building muscle—and how we plan to grow.
Measuring What Matters
We are not yet capturing emissions or detailed footprint metrics. Our focus today is establishing the habits that will make future measurement meaningful.
Evolving Certifications
We do not hold formal sustainability certifications yet. As we scale, we will evaluate recognized ESG frameworks that align to our practice areas.
Balancing Travel
Intentional travel can increase emissions, yet it often delivers outsized value in trust, nuance, and project momentum. We weigh each trip carefully.
