Our Services About Us

Triple Bottom Line

We consider social, economic and environmental factors when creating sustainable models and performance measurements. We believe that managing triple bottom line performance should not only be viewed as risk avoidance and compliance, but also an opportunity for innovation and competitive advantage.

Improving financial performance through strategic planning, leveraging opportunities and mitigating risk results in cost saving.

Considering the social variables that affect the people who work for you and with you, as well as those who live in the surrounding communities is essential to success.

People are becoming increasingly aware of sustainability and the impacts that organizations have on the environment. Identifying the environmental issues that are important to key stakeholders will improve relationships, fosters loyalty and trust.

“I have had the good fortune to work with Carolyn and the CMR staff over most of the last 10 years on several stakeholder files including engagement and strategic planning with respect to Corporate structure. I found the company to be responsive, knowledgeable and proactive. CMR was instrumental in bringing together several companies that were competitors in a geographical area to form a user group that made sure residents’ concerns were heard and that they were informed of activity well ahead of time. The group gained credibility under Carolyn’s leadership with good public relations in the form of town Halls , attendance at local functions and distribution of factual materials that were simple and easy to follow for non-oil and gas people. It was very evident from our success in licensing wells and getting infrastructure projects approved that this approach added significant value.”Oil & Gas Executive
