Why Choose Us?
Our History
CRGss was founded in 2011 in Memphis, Tennessee by Mary Singer. When the original company converted to CRG Sustainable Solutions (CRGss), meeting the needs of building and plant managers wanting to identify direction and rationale for integrating sustainability opportunities to improve efficiency, trim cost and reduce waste.
The solution story continued in 2018 to include ways to communicate all the CSR findings into often overlooked and inspiring stories which help emphasize the value proposition of sustainability. What is good for society and the environment as a whole is now crucial to the way a company engages with stakeholders, employees, vendors and customers.
