Proof

The biggest surprise from our greenhouse gas inventory results? Reviewing them with Indigo ended up being more satisfying than terrifying. From the first graph, it was clear that the efforts that we have already undertaken to make our business more sustainable are working to reduce our carbon footprint. We could see a direct correlation between our business choices – including the type of paper in our copiers and the buildings we chose for our newer offices—and our impact on the environment. As Indigo presented these results to the Realty Trust Partner team, we could feel a shift in the room as the result of our hard work over the past two years became clear. The positive impact of our stewardship, and the variety of possibilities for further improvement, was written on each slide in a series of colored graphs and charts. The satisfaction of seeing our hard work pay off, as well as the identification of future opportunities for action, was easy to see on the faces of the group. Indigo provided indisputable proof that our choice of environmental stewardship has a measurable impact on our environment. The next challenge? Making the data real for our agents and clients, and translating it into our core real estate business of attracting clients and serving agents.
