Sustainability requires managing all households -- individual, community, national, and global -- in ways that ensure that our economy and society can continue to exist without destroying the natural environment on which we all depend. Sustainable communities acknowledge that there are limits to the natural, social and built systems upon which we depend.

Key questions asked in a socially sustainable company include:

1.) Are we using this resource faster than it can be renewed?
2.) Are we enhancing the social and human capital upon which our community depends?
3.) Are we encouraging those within our supplier chain to implement socially sustainable practices?
4.) Are we promoting sustainability principles among our employees and customers?

The Dorman Group LLC will help your company address these questions and more through our strategic framework, which includes: Program and Risk Assessments, Communications and Reporting, Program Structure, Training, Stakeholder Relations, and Collaborative Initiatives.

While large businesses and organizations have determined their sustainability goals and initiatives, The Dorman Group LLC is particularly interested in working for small to mid-size companies and organizations seeking to enhance their value by integrating socially responsible business practices into their corporate strategies.
