Testimonials

“It would be difficult to overstate the positive impact that Jib Ellison and the Blu Skye team have had on Walmart and our associates.”

- Lee Scott, Chairman to the Executive Committee, Walmart

Blu Skye provides a level of insight, partnership and commitment to doing the right thing that sets them apart from traditional consultants. It is refreshing, inspiring and a pleasure working with them. They get sustainability, they understand business challenges and they know that companies have to change in order to change the world.

*- Rob Bernard**, Chief Sustainability Strategist, Microsoft*

Blu Skye gets my nod as the best consulting firm in the world in making good on Peter Drucker's premonition that "every social and global issue of our day is a business opportunity" -- given the right conditions for innovation, pragmatism, and an enterprise-wide alignment of strengths. Its a thrill to hit that mutual sweet spot of building a better world and realizing huge new business opportunities. Blu Skye is helping to make history in the field of sustainable value innovation and they are doing it with a humility and collaborative approach that brings out the best in the people and businesses they are working with.

- David Cooperrider, Professor and Chair, Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit, Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve University

The old environmentalism is dead, but there is an emerging post-environmental consensus that is burgeoning through the work of Blu Skye. Their mission is to inspire solutions that match the magnitude of the challenges we face in the 21st Century.

- Adam Werbach, Chief Sustainability Officer, Saatchi & Saatchi

Blu Skye has assembled a team that provides just what is needed for business leaders seeking to drive a clear sustainability strategy. They brought us a truly unique set of capabilities that helped us build on our legacy of sustainable leadership.

- John Replogle, CEO, Burt's Bees

Blu Skye should be required advisors for those seeking to capture these opportunities in ways that turn on customers, employees and the market place.

- Peter Seligmann, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Conservation International

There are now hundreds of consulting organizations that will help businesses change their internal and external practices towards sustainable outcomes. Sustainability is an "ability," but it cannot be brought about piecemeal, nor is it a fix. It is a fundamental change in business practice and Blu Skye brings deeply honed skills to create this shift. It creates the conditions for systemic change in large organizations and then opens up its considerable networks of possibility. Sustainability represents the only way business will survive; an opportunity exists for those who can grasp it earliest and act with the most understanding. This change can only be brought when people change. It is not a belief, but a perception, and Blu Skye creates a matrix of change better than any group I know.

- Paul Hawken, author of The Ecology of Commerce

For me [the system-in-the-room summit] sparked three real new opportunities. I got more done in 2.5 days than I could have accomplished in a couple of years.
