Key Green Solutions Saves Almost $1,000,000 for New Customer

When organizations become customers of Key Green Solutions, they work closely with our implementation team to make sure all vendors and data is accounted for. Last year, Implementation Manager Tim Schuitema did the same for a mid-sized customer and found severe discrepancies in their billing.

Tim stated, “Last November, I was assisting in a Request for Proposal for a mid-sized organization. While compiling a 12-month hazardous waste analysis, our team noticed their spend seemed much higher than what we would normally expect. After investigation into the discrepancy, we found that not only were there errors in the reporting their hazardous waste vendor had provided, but that they were also double billed.“

After the Key Green Solutions team evaluated the 12 months’ worth of invoices line item by line item to find any further latent billing errors, Tim was able to report back to the client with shocking and bad– yet ultimately great– news. “We told the customer what we had found to be multiple alleged billing errors, and they went back to their hazardous waste vendor for clarification. Thank to Key Green Solutions‘ implementation team, our customer was credited over $990,000 for the hazardous waste billing errors.”

Success stories such as this are why clients rely on Key Green Solutions to track and report their data. Our team investigates the numbers and reaches out to vendors to unravel any undiscovered reporting errors.

Key Green Solutions Sponsors and Helps Grand River Cleanup

KGS team participates in the 19th Annual Mayors’ Grand River Cleanup

This past Saturday the KGS team had the opportunity to participate in the 19th Annual Mayors’ Grand River Cleanup in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Key Green Solutions :: Environmental Sustainability Stategies and Management – Energy software helps organizations across the country manage their water resources. As the leader in sustainability management software, Key Green is proud to be part of managing and maintaining clean water.

Author for therapidian.org Melissa Schrauben has said that “While the Grand River makes up 13% of the Lake Michigan watershed, it’s still the largest contributor to the lake’s pollution.” This unfortunate scenario is why the community has decided to come together and make a change.

This annual event is an opportunity for the community to come together and clean up trash from the Grand River and the surrounding land, helping the community make a commitment to a clean and sustainable future at home. In an interview from Fox 17 Annual Mayors’ Grand River Cleanup kicks off (fox17online.com) , Managing Partner of KGS Mark Huizenga was quoted saying of the event, “People from all over the area come here to say clean water’s important to us, and to be part of a solution.”

The Annual Mayors’ Grand River Cleanup is only one of many events that Key Green Solutions supports, and we look forward to finding more opportunities to not only help other businesses work towards sustainability, but to also show our community that we as a business care and are taking steps personally towards a better future.
