For me, profit is a natural outcome, not the driving force."When a client, producing 330,000 tons of waste annually across four locations needed help in diverting their hazardous and biohazardous waste, BAC helped them with effective materiality assessments. It identified opportunities for further improvements in their waste management.Within 30 days, BAC initiated petitions, completed a materiality assessment within 60 days and secured Green Lab and building certifications by the three-month mark. To support the client's landfill diversion objectives, BAC collaborated with vendors specializing in handling medical and regulated waste, surpassing their sustainability goals. This effort, along with tailored social governance initiatives focusing on diversity and inclusion (D&I) and women in leadership, strengthened the client's ESG reports and helped secure favorable loans. Even today, BAC continues to partner with this client, ensuring each new product aligns with sustainable practices, further cementing their position as an ESG leader. Ultimately, BAC helped the client not just meet but surpass their ESG goal.Success stories like these highlight its position as a profit multiplier, allowing clients to stay green, cut costs and reinvest in their workforce.
