Case Study

American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA)

The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) uses HIVE to track and analyze the carbon impacts of its operations. This includes data collection on its office building, member magazine production and distribution, and commuting and business travel.

ASLA is dedicated to sustainability, having published a Climate Action Plan for its members to guide their professional commitments to environmentally just action. Data has allowed ASLA to clearly understand their impacts and the scope of their control. Hand in hand with consulting, HIVE data has informed Honeycomb Strategies’ recommendations for operational pivots and reductions.

In 2025, ASLA announced it has successfully reduced operational carbon emissions by 20%.

ASLA also tracks the carbon footprint of its annual conference using HIVE, in addition to other sustainabilty metrics, supported by year-over-year data analysis and personalized consultation.

ASLA’s core takeaway is that education drives action. As a leader in the landscape architecture profession, the organization models practical, strategic approaches to climate action.
