We Believe

Without thriving communities and a healthy planet, profit is just paper. For us, success means participating in and promoting the worldwide refocusing around what actually matters.

The Story of Measure Meant

Born out of that deep, human desire to leave a legacy, Measure Meant’s journey began in 2017 with the goal of empowering organizations to participate in the hard work of literally saving the world.

Saving the world can be overwhelming—and so is implementing any kind of change at scale. We’ve learned this firsthand through our collective experience advocating for sustainability within organizations large and small. We’ve also found that the greatest heroes have guides who will champion their efforts until the mission is complete. They have a Yoda, a Gandalf, or a Leslie Knope.

Since our inception, we’ve had the opportunity to guide clients of all sizes through some incredible transformations, from a local winery seeking B Corp certification to a national chocolate company committed to sustainability throughout its supply chain. We’ve been able to consistently identify areas of impact and implement lasting change, providing the insight, expertise, and capacity required for the task at hand—everything you need to accomplish world-saving impact.
