We would like students to help us understand the environmental impact of our products, and how it compares with some of the competitors who manufacture in China.

We are a play couch company in Canada called Go Coconut. We manufacture play couches for kids and have seen exponential growth in this sector in the past year. We are looking to establish ourselves as partners during the parenthood journey, and give resources and knowledge to our customers about the benefits of creating a yes space for their children, as well as supporting the development of gross motor skills for their children. We also believe in mindful parenting related to the Montessori philosophy.

We are currently manufacturing all of our products locally, and as more competitors are popping out, we want to be able to differentiate ourselves and have a better understanding of how we can improve our processes to improve the sustainability of our products.

At the moment, we have never done an analysis on the sustainability aspect of our products and the manufacturing process. We believe that this is the first step towards building a better organization.

Ultimately, you will be:

- conducting a carbon footprint analysis and do a sensitive analysis comparing local and international products.

-develop action plans to reduce costs and environmental impact

-Evaluate the performance of existing suppliers, identify new supply sources.

We are a new company that has no expertise in this field. We will need guidance regarding the data needed to be able to conduct this analysis.

We are willing to give a couple of hours a week to make this project a success.
