Our Work
Our process
Our approach is simple: we listen to you
Each engagement, large or small, is a fully customized experience designed to meet (and surpass) our client’s needs.
First, we use a process that helps us see the world through your eyes; then, we apply our experience to deliver solutions.
1
Discovery
We work hard to know you as well or better than you know yourself in order to understand the world in which you operate.
2
Exploration
Armed with a deep understanding of your business, we set out to compile the full range of options available to you.
3
Implementation
With a solution in hand, we work with you on translating the whiteboard into reality.
4
Evaluation
We continually assess the status and results of your project to determine how far we are away from optimal success.
5
Refinement
We work with you to identify the changes necessary and the best methods for refining the implementation strategy.
Inclusion is in our DNA, and it’s not just because of who we are
Our team members have consistently and continuously committed their talent, knowledge, and experience to ensure that the positive economic and environmental benefits of the climate-resilient future are available to all, especially BIPOC, low-income, and rural businesses and communities who are often under-resourced, under-served, and under-represented. Equitably expanding opportunities and participation to all is essential to building a climate resilient future.
What we do
SCA’s clients are diverse and represent the full sustainable infrastructure ecosystem. By working with the full range of participants, SCA has a unique and valuable perspective that accelerates our clients’ understanding and ability to deliver results.
Governments
Nonprofits and Foundations
Corporations
Utilities
Developers
Capital Providers
By design, SCA operates outside the traditional technology and financial product silos.
We actively seek opportunities to learn about new technologies and financial structures with the goal of expanding our knowledge base. Not to be the smartest team in the room but so that we can best serve our clients by expanding the toolkit available to develop the best solution to meet their need. As a result, we are just as experienced in financing megawatts (renewable energy generation) as we are negawatts (energy efficiency) and we have financed or evaluated every established and innovative financing structure or product available.
