How We Help Clients
We offer frameworks that define fluffy terms and cut down on greenwashing and hype by quantifying sustainability.
We map technologies onto sustainable development goals (SDGs) to help innovation leaders focus and communicate their efforts in a meaningful way to their internal and external stakeholders.
We analyze future impacts of policies, alternate solutions, and scenarios on technology development and adoption.
We elaborate on the issues of climate change, such as the need for reduction of materials and waste, and quantify the impacts of SDGs, such as recycling on plastic waste reduction.
The Lux Difference
We use an intersectional approach to find creative solutions as a team, uniquely considering technologies and conditions throughout the supply chain. We avoid siloed thinking that occurs in industry-focused research organizations. We combine technology and business models to solve for problems that don’t yet have solutions. We are pragmatic futurists.
Client Outcomes
We encourage innovation leaders to pitch, plan for, and talk about sustainability in practical, real terms.
We dig deep into comparisons of very different sustainability projects and options to identify holistic “best” choices, both for the environment and for the company’s traditional growth targets.
We bring stakeholders together across value chains to align on how they will execute and rally around sustainability.
We focus on long-term strategic thinking about planning for looming regulatory changes. What are the consumer-packaged goods of the future?
