A winning business can select up to 10 employees to each complete a Business for Good Service Corps project.Employees move from:IDENTIFY → BUILD → IMPLEMENT → MEASURE → REPORTEach participant develops and implements a project designed to improve business performance while creating People, Planet & Profit impact.Participants then measure and report the actual financial, environmental and social results and ROI produced by their projects.The goal isn’t simply to generate ideas.It’s to implement them and measure what they produce.

The results depend on the projects employees identify and successfully implement.Projects can create measurable value through:FINANCIAL RESULTSCost savings, new revenue, increased productivity, greater efficiency or reduced risk.ENVIRONMENTAL RESULTSReduced energy use, waste, packaging, materials, emissions or other environmental impacts.PEOPLE RESULTSImproved employee retention, productivity, safety, customer experience, supplier practices or community outcomes.For example, an implemented project might produce $50,000 in annual savings, 30% lower energy use, 40% less packaging, new revenue or measurable workforce improvements.Now imagine:10 EMPLOYEES. 10 PROJECTS.
