In the dynamic world of sustainability and ESG strategy development, companies are facing growing risks as well as opportunities. More and more C-level executives and decision-makers are striving for a sustainable future with tangible results. As a result, the critical role of a well-thought-out sustainability strategy is coming to the fore more and more as well. It opens the door to differentiation and long-term value.
What does a sustainability strategy encompass?
A sustainability strategy is custom work. It focuses on themes where your organisation makes the most impact, such as energy consumption, biodiversity, circularity and employee engagement. We help determine the strategic focus. Aimed at embedding sustainability into the core of the organisation. We also help companies draft an ESG disclosure report, as required by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive | CSRD.
This is how we do it
The formulation of clear ambitions, goals and actions with organisation-wide implementation. This is where we help. And this is how we go about it.
Your own strategy in four steps
1. Determining focus
With in-depth analyses, we evaluate the impact of legislation and regulations, standards and initiatives on the organisation. The list of the developments in these can be overwhelming: the EU Green Deal, Fit for 55, EU Taxonomy, SBTi, CSRD, Sustainable Development Goals – we provide overview and insight. We conduct a double materiality analysis to identify key sustainability themes and the inward and outward impact. What do we focus on?
2. Baseline measurement
We then use a baseline measurement to measure the current state of affairs against the industry benchmark. A point of comparison between your company and the market, as a way to evaluate its current level of sustainability and gain input for setting the level of ambition. We present these results to management.
3. Strategic framework
We use our four-stage model to map the level of sustainability maturity within the organisation and its key competitors. We distinguish between inactive, reactive, active and proactive. Based on these results, we jointly define the pillars, ambitions and targets for improving the social impact and the market position in the focus areas.
4. Action plan
We transform the strategy into concrete actions per pillar – for the short, medium and long term. We embed the sustainability strategy with a solid governance structure, whereby roles and responsibilities are clearly defined. We fully integrate sustainability into the organisation and make its impact visible at all levels this way.
