About Us |
Our name is derived from the organization's desire to see a return on sustainability investments. We view sustainability through the lens of "best use, best return" and take a pragmatic approach that leverages our business skills, technical knowledge, passion and established connections to get things done. Our greatest strengths include our ability to think holistically and to discover new opportunities by applying "what if" scenarios. BLOOM understands that to reap tangible benefits, sustainability concepts must become real sustainable solutions. Yet despite the benefits, for many organizations, sustainability remains an elusive goal with no clear path on how to get there. We empower organizations to embed sustainability into both their business model, and their investment, procurement and policy decision-making. To inspire change, build capacity and guide actions, we host and deliver an annual Sustainability Applied conference. Grounded in practicality, this dynamic, interactive event brings together leaders and experts to demonstrate the business value of sustainability, and to share the paths they have navigated on their sustainability journey.
GovernanceBLOOM is a not-for-profit federally incorporated company, governed by a Board of Directors, all external to the management of BLOOM. The Board of Directors meets quarterly to review all aspects of the operational and financial performance of the company. The Board of Directors has the responsibility of ensuring that the contractual relationships between BLOOM and its clients conform to agreed standards of business practice. Levels of authority have been delegated for efficient management of the organization between three levels: the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and BLOOM Management. This approach allows operational issues to be handled efficiently and policy matters to be brought to the appropriate level without unacceptable delay. The President and CEO of BLOOM reports to the Board of Directors.
