More Than Compliance: A Passion for Sustainability
​
Hi there! I'm Dawn Whaley, the founder and driving force behind DLG Environmental and Sustainability Consulting, LLC. While my professional life revolves around helping businesses build sustainable practices, my passion wasn't born in a boardroom; it comes from a life-long love of nature and a healthy approach to living each day fully.
​
When I'm not burrowing into EHS regulations, you'll find me:
-
Hiking through breathtaking landscapes.
-
Camping under starry skies and reconnecting with nature.
-
Growing gardens using permaculture techniques.
-
Participating in community initiatives to protect our environment.
​
These experiences are more than just hobbies; they're the foundation of my unique approach to EHS and SDG management.
Sure, I'm a seasoned professional with over 30 years of experience ensuring compliance and developing effective systems. But what truly sets me apart is my deep-rooted connection to the environment and its sustainability.
This translates into:
-
A human-centric approach: I believe that cultural transformation is key to lasting change. That's why I focus on understanding and addressing the motivations and behaviors that drive environmental responsibility.
-
A collaborative approach: Whether working with regulators, expert colleagues or company leaders, the focus is always on ethical and effective methods that fuel growth.
-
Sustainability woven into every solution: It's not just an add-on, it's an integral part of every recommendation and plan.
-
A genuine passion: My enthusiasm for environmental stewardship fuels my dedication to helping businesses thrive while protecting our planet.
​​
I started DLG because I recognized that most companies want to improve their environmental and sustainability commitments and might lack the time or the knowledge on how to strategize and leverage their commitments for increased market share and adding value. Leaders of small and mid-sized companies have to cover a variety of roles and often need some help. In short, I'm not just about checking boxes. I'm about empowering companies like yours to create a lasting positive impact.
