Beyond the Science: How Training & Teamwork Drive Real Environmental Change with Andy Ellsmore

On this BizBlend Podcast episode, we strip sustainability down to what actually moves the needle: people, habits, and culture. Environmental consultant Andy Ellsmore explains how practical training, on-site decision-making, and leadership alignment turn regulations into results—especially in stormwater compliance across construction and industrial sites. We dig into California’s regulatory landscape, why sediment control matters, and how championing small behaviors (like end-of-shift cleanup) protects clean water and accelerates corporate culture change. If you lead teams or manage operations, this is a tactical playbook for building an environmentally responsible organization that performs under pressure. About the Guest: Andy Ellsmore is the founder of stormwater.pro, specializing in stormwater compliance and environmental training for construction and industrial facilities. With 20+ years in the field, he helps companies translate complex rules into actionable team habits that improve water quality and reduce risk. Key Takeaways : Culture beats check-the-box training—leaders and middle management must model priorities or teams will mirror mixed signals. Small, repeatable habits (sweep time, covering materials, pausing outdoor tasks during rain) compound into measurable water-quality gains. California’s stringent enforcement sets the bar, but individual on-site decisions still determine outcomes. The biggest pollutant is often sediment; controlling erosion and site housekeeping can drastically reduce downstream harm. Find a stormwater “champion.” One engaged person can rally peers, influence management, and sustain momentum. Recognition matters. Reward visible pro-environment actions to lock in behavior and morale. Case study pattern: fines or legal pressure often catalyze true culture change—use that urgency to resource training properly. Right-size guidance by role. Tailor training so every function—from admin to operators—knows the exact behaviors that protect water.
