"We have found the work of Bryan Sheehan of SymbioSus to be very professional and very thorough. His consulting work will help us meet the demands of the growing green marketplace."
Mike Mills, President

"SymbioSus Sustainability Consulting provided the tools and knowledge we needed to develop a plan to 'green' our 1st annual 'Taste of MetroWest' event. Through their leadership and efforts, we were able to reduce waste by 60%, eliminate nearly a fifth of a ton of waste-related emissions, and make the event 100% carbon neutral through additional actions. SymbioSus was easy to work with and is likely the most customer-service-oriented organization in the green industry. Bryan Sheehan is a true professional who knows how to transform a vision for a more eco-friendly business environment into practical solutions that yield results. I highly recommend SymbioSus Sustainability Consulting if your company is serious about wanting to reduce your environmental impact in a way that also benefits your business."
Bonnie Biocchi, President and CEO,
MetroWest (MA) Chamber of Commerce
"When we were working with Bryan, two things were crystal clear to us: First, his dedication to sustainability, both personally and professionally; and, second, his sensitivity and responsiveness to our particular business situation. We want to build upon our existing sustainability efforts but are faced with certain limitations that are not within our control. Bryan offered us a variety of 'can do' ideas that have put us on a path we feel good about."
