ESG (Envirosmart Solutions Group) has recently become the newest partner in Sustainable Silicon Valley (SSV). This non-profit 501(c)(3) organization is leading the Silicon Valley to a more sustainable future through collaboration with local government agencies, businesses, and community organizations to identify and address the highest-priority environmental issues. They do this by engaging prominent Valley organizations to proactively work toward self-imposed goals of reducing regional CO2 emissions and water use – and helping them translate those goals into measurable results.

Partners include companies like Symantec, Adobe, AMD, Cisco Systems, eBay Inc., Genentech, Intel, Intuit; environmental organizations such as Ecology Action, Wholly H2o, Sierra Club (Loma Prieta Chapter), Environmental Defense Fund, and the Greenhouse Gas Management Institute; and many of the cities, counties and other public agencies in the Silicon Valley area.

ESG Director David Isaacson had this to say about joining SSV:

“The mission and vision of Sustainable Silicon Valley are a perfect match to those of our company. ESG offers environmentally smart solutions to many of the challenges facing governments, corporations and small businesses in the areas of resource management, preservation and restoration of natural systems, and smart growth and development. Our business model is based on collaboration, partnering with a variety of experts in these fields to offer a response tailored to the needs of our clients. SSV will connect us with people and companies at the cutting edge of sustainable business thought and practice, giving ESG opportunities to contribute our knowledge and skills to the community, as well as the chance to learn from and network with others pursuing similar goals. We believe this will naturally lead to increased business for ESG. We are very excited to be joining SSV in creating not only a sustainable Silicon Valley, but an increasingly sustainable world as well.”
