Social Benefit

In a globalized, interconnected and competitive world; the way that environmental, social and corporate governance issues are managed is part of a company’s overall leadership needed to compete successfully. Companies that perform better with regard to these issues can increase shareholder value by properly managing risk, anticipating regulatory action and accessing new markets while at the same time contributing to the sustainable development of societies in which they operate. These issues can have a strong impact on reputation and brands, an increasingly important part of company value.

Case Study: 9

Background: City submitted an RFP that was won by LACCD to be the administrator of this pilot program with a limited budget and scope.

Issue: LACCD needed additional expertise in green business, sustainability metrics, and overall program management. Every aspect of the program needed to be developed to program could be self-maintaining within 1 year.

AJC: Created a project plan to manage the implementation and deployment of program for 12 months. Refined brand identity. Assembled certification checklist for 3 industries. Gathered businesses and public

agencies to commit to participation in program. Result: City of Los Angeles signed an MOU

committing almost $1M and 3 years to this

program.

Case Study: 10

Background: Award-winning documentary cost $500k to make from 2007 to 2008.

Features sustainability legend Ray Anderson and his company Interface among many other impressive businesses. Issue: The filmmakers and distributors did not

want a wide release in order to protect who had access to the film. They wanted to create a consulting revenue stream with corporate clients. AJC: Worked with distributors to realize

revenue potentials in education, training, and consulting with film components. Launched Southern California market with film screening that brought together 200 business leaders in LA. Advised on the creation of supplementary toolkit.

Result: Got acknowledgement from City of LA’s Mayor’s Office. Grew client list. Toolkit set for launch in September 2012.
