About Jeff Y.

My professional mission is the integration of environmental and social stewardship into business - literally,\"fusing sustainability with business\" by focusing on risk and opportunity management.My expertise is rooted in sustainability program development and Life Cycle thinking, with foundations in traditional EHS. So, along with experience in permitting, compliance, and waste/wastewater management, I have deep expertise in management systems approaches, ESG policy, Social Impact programming, product LCA and organizational \"footprinting\", environmental claim and CSR report development, sustainability metrics and enterprise sustainability software. I have done this as both a consultant and an in-house SME, from a \"team of one\" to managing local and remote teams.My professional philosophy is that organizational \"sustainability\" must be defined in the context of a specific operating environment and value chain, and that sustainability considerations MUST integrate effectively into operating environments with multiple priorities (environment, community, profitability, etc.). I also enjoy mentoring staff and growing the capacity of teams I engage in, working with students to integrate these goals into their own careers, and participating in like-minded nonprofit organizations. It all fits together into a single mission.If you link to me please tell me how you know me or why you would like to.PS - if you know the one place where the stained glass in my background picture is, I want to meet you!
