The Assabet Group was founded to realize opportunities for significant environmental leadership accompanied by outstanding business results.  
 
Increasingly, leading companies are looking at the global movement towards sustainability as a source of competitive advantage. Integrating the environment into bottom line strategies requires a new set of tools and approaches. Companies that effectively and quickly move to seize the environmental high ground will create a sustained and substantial edge in the marketplace. Those that don't will see competitive positions erode, and decreased financial and brand equity.

Well over a century ago, Henry David Thoreau gave voice to the environmental consciousness of America. The natural beauty of the Assabet River of his native Concord, Massachusetts nourished his philosophy, thoughts, and words. 
 
At the same time, downstream from Concord, the Assabet's waters flowed into the Merrimack River where they fueled the mills of Lowell and Lawrence. It was in these mills that the American industrial revolution began. 
 
The industrial age and the idea that our natural world is a treasure beyond compare were born at the same time, less than a mile from the Assabet Group's offices. Together they form the core of our consulting philosophy that market leading financial returns can be -- and, in the long run, must be - accompanied by environmental performance that nourishes the present without compromising the future.
