Interested in a sustainability program for your business, but don't know where to start?

Two kinds of brands partner with us. Some are here purely for the impact. They fund the cleanup, our crews do the work, and there is no homework on their end.

The other kind wants the partnership to do something for the business too. That group has to tell the story. Feature it on your site. Talk about it on social and in your customer communications. Use the content we give you. That is the whole ask, and it is not a heavy lift.

Here is the part worth hearing early. If you expect business results but will not do the basic storytelling, this is probably not the right fit. We would rather say that now than six months in.

Most partnerships do not come out of one budget line, and the ones that get approved usually do not try to.

The impact itself, the pounds you fund, often sits with corporate or product. Activations and content come from marketing. Events come from the events budget. Splitting it that way is normal, and it is usually what turns a hard number into an easy one.

The events piece tends to be the surprise. A cleanup doubles as a company all hands, a team retreat, or an executive planning session on the water. If you are already spending on a trade show booth or a single campaign, that is the number worth comparing this against.

We cannot guarantee they will, and you should be skeptical of anyone who tells you otherwise.

What we can tell you is that the partners who see a response are the partners who tell the story. Impact does not sell itself from a link in your footer. It works when it shows up on your product pages, in your emails, and in the content your customers already see from you.

The better answer to this question is not ours anyway. It belongs to the partners above, in their words.

Every cleanup is GPS logged. The haul is weighed on site, and that weight goes through a second approval before it counts toward anything. Volunteer pounds are tracked separately and never roll into partner totals, so what you report is what your program actually funded.

You get partner-facing reporting and a dashboard, which means the number you put in front of your customers is one you can trace back to a specific day and a specific crew.

This is our process, run by our team. We are telling you exactly how it works so you can judge it for yourself.
