Zero Waste Certification Program Applying Ajzen's Theory Of Planned Behavior: A Case Study

About

Having worked as a leader of various Sustainability projects in a manufacturing environment for over 15 years, I would make a valuable addition to your team. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong leadership and expertise in sustainability efforts including in areas such as: environmental stewardship, carbon management/climate change and resiliency, resource efficiency (energy, water, waste etc.), stakeholder relations and people programs, relationships with suppliers and communities, governance and compliance, ESG data collection, processing and reporting across recognized frameworks and standards.            I have extensive experience in both the private and public sectors. My background includes working with a variety of organizations, including international companies, small businesses, and non-profit organizations. I have worked on a wide range of projects, including developing sustainability programs, implementing sustainability initiatives, conducting sustainability assessments, and leading sustainability teams. I have also developed and taught courses on sustainability topics at the university level.            My experience at corporate levels allowed me to expand upon my knowledge in this field. In my current position, I engage internal and external stakeholders to promote sustainability initiatives, identifying areas of the processes and practices that can be improved to reduce its environmental impact. I also lead the overall direction of the company’s sustainability efforts, including setting goals and measuring progress. As part of my job, I ensure that the company’s environmental and social impact aligns with sustainable practices, developing and executing sustainability strategies. In my previous position and under my leadership, Earth Friendly Products became carbon neutral in part through the switch to 100 percent renewable energy, which saves over 53 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions annually.            I have been successfully directed the company to achieve LEED Building, LEED Zero Energy, LEED Zero Waste and LEED Zero Carbon Certifications. Zero Waste Platinum certification at all our facilities means that the company diverts over 95% of its waste from landfills through recycling and reuse. Furthermore, with the achievement of water neutrality in 2016, the company not only reduced water usage in all four facilities, but the initiative has supported programs to restore over 10 million gallons of water to critically endangered rivers and wetlands in the western U.S. this year. This successful program has been translated to over $1,200,000 of savings for the company.             I’d love to bring this dedication, along with my relevant skills and experience to your global company. I am confident my extensive experience and knowledge of Global sustainability issues can help contribute to your company’s success in this field.            I’ve attached my resume. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration, and I am looking forward to hearing back from you.
