Sustainability strategy

A sustainability strategy supports your corporative objectives.

Every business benefits from a plan that sets sustainability objectives and actions, with measurable improvement targets. Effective strategies are endorsed by leadership and owned by operational functions. That’s why we make a business case for each part of the strategy, working closely with the functions to quantify benefits and clarify necessary resources. See our client work.

Depending on your starting point, these are some interconnected building blocks necessary to develop winning strategies:

1. Stakeholder mapping and engagement

Your business is influenced by many groups — such as customers, employees, governments, and investors. We’ll help you assess their impact on your business and your impact on them, through structured engagement that deepens your understanding of their influence.


2. Materiality assessment

Sustainability embraces a wide range of environmental, social, and governance issues. Understanding the relative importance of different sustainability topics is the first step towards a sound sustainability strategy. Whether you need an update or an in-depth double materiality assessment, we’ll discuss what you want to achieve and suggest the most efficient process.


3. Executive and board engagement on sustainability

It’s essential for your executive team to embrace your sustainability strategy. We facilitate this by developing precise business case presentations, supporting you in board meetings, and providing briefings, training, and workshops for your senior executives.


4. Implementation plan

We work with you to map out your sustainability journey. The plan specifies your targets, what must happen to achieve them, and who is responsible. We’ll support you all the way as you roll out the plan.


5. Performance metrics

Measuring your performance and progress is essential. We discuss suitable metrics and advise on those required by reporting standards and investor rankers.


6. Net zero roadmap

How you manage greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to achieve net zero will be integral to your overall sustainability strategy. Together with your key internal stakeholders, we will review your footprint, identify ways to reduce emissions, and develop a detailed roadmap to navigate your net zero journey.
