"CLFV provided a much-needed calming voice. Their credibility was a real asset." - Roger Sant, Former Chairman, AES Corporation |
Operate Sustainably
A sustainable business venture is multi-dimensional: it looks beyond profit for long-term success. By developing strategies that integrate environmental protection into their operations, businesses can both positively impact their bottom line and develop a sustained competitive advantage. Public and private entities that effectively manage their relationships with stakeholders and the surrounding community stand only to gain from the trust and legitimacy that positive relationships cultivate.
CLF Ventures helps clients operate sustainably. We enable clients to uphold both profitability and their relationship with their community and the environment.

 Critical relationship management
CLF Ventures helps clients successfully manage relationships with critical stakeholders and the surrounding community.
|
We are adept at understanding complex social and environmental contexts and we work collaboratively with our clients to define stakeholder expectations. By outlining actions to address stakeholder concerns and facilitating dialogue, we help establish trust and foster the development of a collective vision of the future.
We build this trust and legitimacy for our clients by:
Leveraging our environmental protection reputation and non-profit status to build relationships with stakeholders
Utilizing existing relationships with local, state and federal regulatory and political stakeholders
Opening-up up new and unique lines of communication with the stakeholder community
Gaining privileged access to bottom-line stakeholder preferences
Compiling and translating this new information back to our client to enable them to make better-informed business decisions
Environmental strategies
We craft environmental strategies that positively impact our clients' bottom line and give them long-term competitive advantage. Competitive Environmental Strategies (CES) - a joint venture among CLF Ventures, Assabet Group and BlueWave Strategies - applies innovative decision-making to solve environmental problems. CES utilizes tools such as Streamlined Life Cycle Assessment, economic analysis, scenario analysis, strategic planning, market analysis, and stakeholder outreach to help clients realize the benefits of increased profitability, enhanced customer responsiveness, and reduced costs and liabilities.

CLF Ventures is a unique organization that inhabits the intersection of business, stakeholder and environmental matters. Our distinct value to our clients is two-fold:
 |
 We acquire valuable stakeholder insights that are often impossible for our client to collect on their own.
We develop and implement innovative solutions to our clients' problems by effectively blending these insights with our technical, regulatory, and planning skills.
|
| CLF Ventures staff members are skilled at understanding complex social and environmental contexts. By leveraging our skills in consensus building with our longstanding reputation for environmental protection, we open lines of communication and build trust among stakeholders. We also use our experience in, and connection to, the business sector - including launching the Environmental Insurance Agency - to help clients both positively impact their bottom line and develop a sustained competitive advantage. As a result, we enable clients to uphold both profitability and their relationship with their community and the environment. |
