NO MORE “BUSINESS AS USUAL”
We are Good for your organization + Good for the world
We’re Redefining Profit
Convinced that unconceived alliances were needed and future successes would be measured against multiple bottom lines, our founder launched Council Fire and a new type of global change agency emerged. As one of the first sustainability-focused consultancies in the United States and one of the earliest members of the B Corp movement, Council Fire continues to make good on our founder’s vision, acting at the forefront of the sustainable business movement and helping build an economy that works for all.
B Corp certification is to business what Fair Trade certification is to coffee. From finance to forestry, thousands of companies are joining the movement and demonstrating that they meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
Our Core Values
The Council Fire core values of curiosity, creativity, intention and collaboration are central to everything we do. From holding ourselves accountable to the highest standards in all of our business operations through supporting our game-changing clients, we’re focused on driving positive economic, environmental, and social impact to address the world’s greatest challenges.
We’re in business to protect and restore our environment, improve the lives of others, and create an economy that works for all.
Benefiting Our Clients & Communities
We’re devoted to serving our clients and the communities in which they operate. To do so, we are:

Improving our Planet’s Health
Our society faces many challenges including poverty, crime, racism, and a warming planet that eventually will be uninhabitable if we don’t reverse course. We’re seeking to lead by example through:
Supporting the success of key industries like renewable energy and sustainable seafood
Designing and implementing environmentally restorative strategies for clients in multiple sectors including decarbonization initiatives and efforts to reimagine fresh water access
Annually measuring, reducing, and offsetting 100% of our company’s carbon emissions
