Denice Viktoria Staaf found her way to sustainability through the green building movement. She has been an Accredited Professional under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Standard for over 20 years. She is passionate about sustainability for manufacturers and supply chains under the overall organizational sustainability umbrella. She believes that the systematic approach taught by Dr. Pojasek, outlined in this book, is the way forward for organizations to contribute to sustainable development positively. She graduated from Harvard University, earning a master’s degree in Environmental Management & Sustainability with a concentration in the Built Environment.

Denice has recently focused on circularity as a deeper dive into organizational sustainability using the process approach to achieve results. She is a member of the Circular Transition Indicators (CTI) Framework Implementation Partners by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and recently joined the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee for the Circular Economy (TC 323).

Denice founded the consulting firm Labeling Sustainability in 2016 after helping companies of her friends with sustainability for fun; she loves organizational sustainability and being of service to manufacturers. Today, Labeling Sustainability is a global consulting firm and Type III Environmental Product Declaration Program Operator assisting international organizations with their sustainability documentation needs. Although the organization has grown from the days she did LCAs for her friends, Denice Viktoria Staaf still thinks sustainability is fun.
