Climate change doesn’t always provoke generational conflict—for our multigenerational team of sustainability consultants, the mutual benefits abound.

OCT. 19, 2021 – PGS Consults, the expert ESG consultancy at Presidio Graduate School, was recently featured on Encore.org as a remarkable and rare example of an intergenerational collection of organizers, consultants, and changemakers working to “solve problems, bridge divides, and create a better future for all.”

“Here’s a story about a multigenerational team working in the climate change space that inspires me. Unlike traditional consulting companies that tend to be very hierarchical, PGS Consults sees age diversity and varied subject area expertise as an asset when advising organizations of all sizes on how to become more socially and environmentally responsible.

The group is a consulting arm of the Presidio Graduate School, a program in San Francisco that teaches students to approach business decisions with equal emphasis on people, profit and planet. And its unique approach — creating teams of students, alumni, professors and seasoned professionals — acknowledges the urgency for new thinking and creative solutions.”
