About Us: Pure Strategies

Mission

Pure Strategies’ mission is to transform business to create a more sustainable future.

We are all in this business because we want to make a difference. That means we’re most interested in working with those businesses and organizations fueling the engines of positive and transformative change.

History

Bob Kerr and Tim Greiner launched Pure Strategies in 1998 at a time when traditional command and control regulations for environmental issues had reached their limit. They changed the focus from end-of-the-pipe solutions to the entire product life cycle with a special focus on product design. The company’s early work with Stonyfield Farm and Seventh Generation spurred the development of services and tools that answered fundamental questions about product environmental impact. Bob and Tim built strategies to align a company’s products and its supply chain with its sustainability objectives.

Tim Greiner reflects on 15 years of positive change in: The Evolving Field of Sustainability.
