Our mission is to reduce waste at UCSB both through direct collection and through education and information sharing. We believe that true environmental progress requires direct, hands-on action and personal responsibility, not just ideals and slogans. We, along with our partner organization The Department of Public Worms, are deeply committed to the day-to-day recycling, compost, and electronic waste collection services that have helped make UCSB a state and national leader in waste reduction for nearly 20 years. At the same time, we recognize that teaching students and staff how to recycle, compost, and reduce waste can have a huge impact both on and off campus, and is the only way to achieve lasting change. We value our campus and community, and are committed to a goal of zero waste at UCSB!

Mission
1. To promote companies in private and public sectors to understand and act on their connections with the natural world. As a group, we will analyze some real-life problems (public or private) and come up with suggestions we feel fit the issue we are facing. After a careful analysis, we will construct a report that will contain our environmental suggestions as well as designs that fit our recommendation (marketing campaign, website redesigning, ect...). Those reports may or may not be sent to the company we have decided to analyze. As such, Clean Consulting will not “provide” consulting services, nor will it sign contracts with parties outside of UCSB.
2. To evaluate companies’ current practices and encourage the use of most sustainable strategies. For this, the Clean Consulting team will meet with mentors and professionals that have the experience to consult us on our work. In more detail, our team will look over energy use (water and electricity) and waste management strategies of the company/department being studied. From this data, the analyst team of Clean Consulting will be able to generate an environmental audit. Business strategies will also be analyzed. After looking at our findings, we will look at the best practices in the industry and finalize a report with all of our suggestions for our client. Some “green” marketing suggestions can also be made if the client has an opportunity to expand its services/products to “green” consumers.
3. To make companies aware of their corporate social responsibility and the growing presence of sustainability in the professional sphere.
4. To encourage student involvement in the sustainability field and help them gain experience and connections. We aim to collaborate with companies in the environmental consulting industry (or sustainability) to train the members of Clean Consulting; our “partner” company would act as a mentor, giving us advice and teaching us how to create environmental audits, reports, etc...

Membership Benefits
Members of Clean Consulting at UCSB will benefit from experience in business, consulting, and sustainability practices, as well as connections. We aim for our members to work with our "partner" businesses to help them with sustainability and corporate social responsibility while being mentored by those experienced in the field.
