There isn’t any sustainability manual or cookbook. What we deliver to you is tailored to the people who matter—you, your associates, your leadership, your customers, your suppliers.

​

Your success in building sustainability into the core 
of your organization is our primary metric.

​

• We work with startups and mature organizations alike to create novel tools and strategies that businesses, governments, and NGOs use to achieve their sustainability goals.

​

• We combine experience in building leading edge sustainability efforts in organizations with expertise in material and product sustainability, life cycle methods, and circular systems to help you be effective in your organization.

​

• We understand what it takes to develop and implement effective sustainability programs because we have sat in your seat. We know that success comes when strategies and programs fit the culture and values of an individual organization.​

​​

​Our work spans both a broad and a deep range of activities, each uniquely designed to address the client's particular situation and need.

For instance, 

​

• BWE collaborated with Nike to create the Nike Material Sustainability Index (Nike MSI). The Nike MSI serves as the primary method for selecting environmentally preferred materials for use in Nike products and feeds into the Nike Apparel and Footwear Sustainability Indexes. ​Nike provided public access to the Nike MSI through the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) where it was an initial component of the SAC Higg Index.

​​

• The Made-by Environmental Benchmark for Fibres, developed by BWE, compares the environmental impact of the most commonly used fibers in the garment industry, ranking 28 fibers on six common environmental parameters. The Environmental Benchmark for Fibres continues to be used by Made-By members and many other apparel brands.
