about glc

GLC's MISSION is to provide environmentally and economically sound alternatives for businesses and households that want to take a green approach to their daily professional or personal life.

GLC's VISION is to empower businesses and households to operate more sustainably and profitably.

GLC takes a holistic approach to helping people identify eco-solutions that benefit their internal and external environment. For businesses, GLC aims to improve productivity while bringing higher profit margins to company owners and operators. GLC's business focus is driven by Adrienne's experience in identifying gaps between business operations and company mission, managing limited financial and human capital resources to achieve optimal service and personnel performance, and improving operational efficiency. For households, GLC strives to educate people about green products and lifestyle choices that can improve quality of life and reduce the impact to our environment.
