Meet our Operations & Sustainability Manager - Liz Stewart

Image
  Besides a low tolerance for missing a sunrise, what gets me out of bed every morning is a desire to help businesses achieve their growth goals while ensuring their marketing is in line with their brand and values. I bring my creativity, and passion for learning, to the role of Sustainability Manager; and I leverage many years of refining service offerings and vendor management to Stewart Marketing Group's Governance.

  Honoring Indigenous Peoples Day : Transforming a Neighborhood Dumpsite Cleaning up trash when I go for a walk is something I do often—just my part of who we are as a company that cares about the planet. This week I decided to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day by taking a large bag and my trash picker* out for a clean-up walk through our neighborhood. I expected to be able to clean 2 miles and come home with a half bag of trash. My normally neat little neighborhood’s contribution to the debris that makes its way to the river is usually confined to escapees from the morning trashcan pick-up or dropped food wrappers, and (interestingly) “bagged” dog feces from humans that respectively must not be able to bend at the waist, and those that can bend at the waist but lack the hand coordination to carry the bag home to their trash. As I rounded the end of my first block, I spotted a dump site tucked into the edge of a wooded field, a place so often overlooked that...

Corporate "Greenhushing"

Image
  Corporate “Greenhushing” is a thing now, where companies are removing references to sustainability practices and results from their websites and reports. Sadly, some are even abandoning their environmental initiatives. Stewart Marketing Group is still committed to our vision of a planet that is even more beautiful and sustainable for our grandchildren and yours than the one we enjoyed when we were young. Sustainability, social responsibility, and environmental awareness are not fads we follow, they are our legacy.
