Building Eco-Cultures

Today’s organizations are continuously seeking ways they can be greener: reduce their C02 emissions, improve sustainability, and participate in the circular economy. Companies have traditionally, and logically, focused on managing assets from a technical perspective; often overlooked is the direct impact that the daily actions of people have on sustainability. Rob Francis is the founder and CEO of FOCI Sustainability Consultants; Rob and his team focus on changing the day-to-day habits of people within the organization to improve sustainability and reduce carbon emissions. FOCI employs an asset-based approach to sustainability behaviour change to build an ‘Eco-Culture’ within organizations. Rob will speak to FOCI’s approach, results, and look forward to the impact that individuals have on Canada’s journey to net-zero emissions.
