It yawns and lingers on with light in its palms.” While this captures August’s softness, the month now holds a sharper purpose—sustainability. Around the world, more organizations are using August to conduct their Post-Summer Sustainability Assessment. What Is a Post-Summer Sustainability Assessment? A Post-Summer Sustainability Assessment evaluates how well an organization’s sustainability initiatives are working. It measures effectiveness, identifies areas for improvement, and increases accountability. The ultimate goals: to cut costs, boost efficiency, protect the environment, and build a culture of sustainability. Why August? Sustainability is a year-round effort, but August offers unique advantages: Timely Review – August sits at a natural checkpoint, often aligning with the start of many business calendars. Bigger Impact – Annual reviews in August provide deeper insights than monthly or quarterly updates. Fresh Perspective – It’s the perfect moment to bring in an external evaluator with the expertise to spot gaps, recommend best practices, and streamline sustainability programs. For mid- to large-sized organizations, hiring a third-party evaluator is highly recommended. Their role extends beyond the assessment itself. With access to tools such as Green2Sustainable.com, evaluators can monitor and track progress, measure results, and suggest new ways to streamline business operations. How to Prepare Internally Before beginning a Post-Summer Sustainability Assessment—or calling in an evaluator—organizations should: > Define the purpose, scope, and goals of the assessment. > Ensure benchmarks, indicators, and monitoring systems are in place. > Identify all key stakeholders, including vendors and partners. > Develop a communications plan to keep staff and stakeholders informed. > Provide training and resources on evaluation methods. The Value of August Assessments A Post-Summer Sustainability Assessment isn’t just a formality—it’s a driver of ongoing improvement. By using August to reflect and recalibrate, organizations can reduce costs, improve productivity, protect the environment, and operate more efficiently. In short, August is no longer just a month that drifts by—it’s a month with purpose. -Steve https://www.ashkingroup.com/insights-media/choose-sustainability-the-secret-profit-center-1 monthly 0.5 2025-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eef92114cf050357cb1dc39/f4da22bd-4068-40d0-a508-8c5831d579bb/greenprofits.jpg Insights | Media -

Following the Interest in ESG Over Time - Make it stand out ESG ratings are a way of measuring how well a company is performing on environmental, social, and governance issues. According to the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance, ESG ratings help investors, stakeholders, managers, employees, vendors, and others better understand the steps an organization is taking to improve sustainability practices, reduce environmental impacts, and minimize various risks that can impact a company. ESG ratings also help companies identify areas for improvement, benchmark themselves against peers, and communicate their progress and value to the market. As the two graphs below indicate, the interest in ESG over time has jumped considerably as have ESG Mutual Funds under management. These graphs literally do say a thousand words.

Channel Islands Harbor, CA. – March 30, 2023 - A March 2023 study released by Glow, a research technology company, and NielsenIQ, a global information services company, finds that sustainability in the food and grocery (F&G) industry is becoming increasingly imperative. According to the researchers, "Consumers are willing to … align their purchases with their values" about sustainability. The study, conducted from April 2022 to December 2022, included more than 33,000 respondents. Researchers said the respondents were a representative sample of US consumers based on age, gender, and geography. Among the key takeaways from the report are the following: • Sustainability is good for business. Companies focused on sustainability are outpacing their competitors regarding sales and market share. • Consumers are switching brands based on sustainability. Switching brands based on how sustainability-focused a company is viewed is happening across all market categories, especially among younger consumers. • Sustainability outweighs cost. With inflation, some consumers are looking for less costly product alternatives. But many consumers won't trade down to a less expensive brand if that organization is not practicing sustainability. • Sustainability communications matter. The study found that many brands are not getting the recognition they deserve – along with the related market share and profits – because they are not promoting their sustainability practices to consumers. "We must remember this study focused on the food and grocery industry," says Steve Ashkin, president of The Ashkin Group and the professional cleaning industry's leading advocate for sustainability. "Consumers and end-customers may differ on the importance of sustainability by industry. However, F&G is intricately connected to the professional cleaning industry. What happens in food and groceries will likely follow very quickly in professional cleaning - if it has not already." The study supports this view. In F&G, the three sustainability drivers most important in the overall sustainability of a brand are the following: 1. Reducing emissions to slow climate change. 2. Protecting natural resources 3. Protecting wildlife and ecosystems. Says Ashkin, "These are among the same key drivers driving the professional cleaning industry to operate more sustainably as well."

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting, according to Steve Ashkin, the leading advocate for sustainability in the professional cleaning industry, "is becoming the primary way companies, especially public companies, report on their current and planned sustainability initiatives." The emphasis of the Deloitte study was to point out how many larger companies are preparing for ESG reporting and what steps they are taking. Something more organizations, including investment companies, are now requiring. An earlier study, published in March of 2022, found only 21 percent of the 300 executives in the study had established working groups, made up of key executives in an organization, to focus on ESG. However, this study, published in December 2022 found that number had nearly tripled to 57 percent. "This is promising, and as more stakeholders and customers become more focused on sustainability, we can expect these [ESG reporting] numbers to grow," says Ashkin. "But one of my primary interests is why these companies are getting so much more focused on sustainability." As to the whys, the Deloitte study points out the main benefits these organizations anticipate in becoming more sustainable and reporting about it: Talent attraction and retention. Fifty-two percent identify this as a key benefit. Efficiency gains. 52 percent. Enhanced trust among company stakeholders. 51 percent. Elevated brand reputation. 49 percent. Premium pricing (pricing products higher than comparable brands). 48 percent Risk reduction. 48 percent. "Many other studies have been reporting similar findings for some years now," says Ashkin. "Ultimately, all these studies tell us what I have long believed: sustainability is a business opportunity, and this is true of large and small organizations." Ashkin adds that the link between sustainability and risk reduction will likely become even more critical in the coming years. "Climate change is increasing risk and uncertainty and is already having devastating impacts on companies and communities in the U.S. and around the globe. More sustainability-focused companies will be better able to weather these storms." ### About The Ashkin Group and Stephen Ashkin The Ashkin Group, LLC, is an internationally recognized consulting firm working to Green the professional cleaning industry.

Hypochlorus acid, a form of hydrogenated hypochlorite and can be readily produced in facility with an electrolysis machine and common cleaning reagents. The resulting product is extremely effective in disinfecting surfaces. The cleaning solution is highly stable (effective for 14 days when kept in a cool, dark place), and needs only 1 minute of contact-time when mixed to 200 parts-per-million. Across a variety of medical applications for virucidal study, hypochlorous acid appears highly effective (including when used with electrostatic foggers), with minimal human health impacts, as long as the chemical can be applied safely in an unoccupied room with good ventilation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eef92114cf050357cb1dc39/1600629849875-C073JERZ03V7LL7SVSYD/image006.jpg LinkedIn - Public Health & Sustainability Critical information for building owners and policy makers during COVID-19.
