For small businesses & nonprofits

Credible stewardship. Actionable recommendations. Priced for the customer actually asking.

Small organizations are increasingly asked — by customers, landlords, ordinances, donors, and insurers — to show what they're doing on sustainability. Most of the available options are either generic checklists or enterprise-priced consulting. Balchunas Sustainability is built for the middle.

Services

Three services, in priority order.

Stream 1 — Wedge

Sustainability Assessment

$150 – $300

Half-day on site across five operational domains (energy, waste, water, purchasing, transportation & buildings). Written report with 1–5 scoring per domain and 5–10 prioritized recommendations.

À la carte: $90 single-domain, +$50 per additional domain.

Stream 2 — Derivative

Green Policy Write-Up

$75 – $150

One-page public-facing sustainability policy derived directly from the assessment findings, written in your voice — ready to post on a website or include in a storefront, donor packet, or grant application.

Turns the assessment into something usable.

Stream 3 — Compounding

Monthly Content Retainer

$100 – $200 / mo

Two to four sustainability-focused posts or newsletter pieces per month, grounded in your real practice. Cancel any time. The compounding tier that turns one engagement into an ongoing relationship.

Converts projects into relationships.

Pricing bands

The full assessment, by site size.

The highest single trigger sets the band: square footage, employee count, building count, or process-load exposure (commercial kitchen, light manufacturing, laundry).
