Innovative & Sustainable Solutions grows in Mt. Clemens

metromode, 1/29/2009

Thirteen is the lucky number for Susan Zaffarano. That's how many years she spent as a consultant at a big-name company before starting out on her own. She turned that opportunity into her own consulting firm - Innovative & Sustainable Solutions.

The Mt. Clemens-based start-up focuses on helping companies become more environmentally sustainable.

"The goal is to work with companies to understand what their perception of sustainability is to them," Zaffarano says.

It does this by looking at how they interact with the other companies they do business with and their customers. Zaffarano is concentrating on attracting Macomb County companies because she sees there is a lot opportunity there.

"There are a lot of different pieces of the puzzle," Zaffarano says. "What are we doing to put them together?"
