Five Winds International was founded in 1998 on the knowledge that when you understand the forces shaping your business, you can harness them and use them to your significant advantage.

Since then, we've grown from a small environmental-management consultancy to a multidisciplinary firm serving clients in North America, Europe and Asia.

We specialize in helping organizations pursue their goals through informed strategic decision-making — decision-making that considers a range of environmental, operational and competitive factors.

What makes us different is our big-picture focus. We examine the objectives you've set and the landmarks you've chosen to determine your progress. We take a close look at how your organization makes decisions. Out of that understanding, we develop sustainable approaches that work for you as tools for achieving success.

We appreciate that sustainability — like competitiveness — isn't a fixed goal; it's an ongoing endeavour, a journey that can lead to a wealth of new opportunities. Our aim is to help organizations access those opportunities and strive for what we call "value without burden."
