Community Initiatives
Our commitment to the community in which we live and work is motivated by our pursuit of sustainability.
2009 Sponsor
We contribute to the community through leadership, education, and mentorship. Not only do we advise clients on how to become more sustainable in their operations but we also live our own advice. As an organization, we encourage everyone to be an engaged stakeholder in their community. We demonstrate our commitments informally through our daily habits and formally through membership in the Network for Business Sustainability.
Tavares Group Consulting has supported the University of Western Ontario´s dynamic interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Environment and Sustainability course-based program since 2006, from reviewing the proposed program, to guest speaking and moderating the inaugural IDEAs conference. The program uses project-based learning to enhance the graduate student's skill set in preparation for a career in the environmental field. Students can pursue a collaborative thesis-based Masters or PhD degree program or a course-based Masters degree program in Environment and Sustainability (MES). TGC has also been supportive of student development from providing industry exposure and training opportunities to direct mentorship of MES students. Participation in such programs, demonstrates Tavares Group Consulting´s dedication to the next generation of sustainability professionals.
