Sustainability Accelerator FAQs
What is sustainability?
It is more than recycling and carbon footprint! We like the Harvard Business school definition of sustainability, "Doing well from Doing good". This includes not just your environment activities and impacts, but how you are supporting your employees and community while striving to be a better business. We don’t believe it is good for anyone, if a business accelerates it’s impact improvement to an extent that makes them uncompetitive, and then go out of business!
What is a sustainability accelerator?
A sustainability accelerator is a program designed to help businesses and organisations understand their environmental, social and economic impacts. Then measure and progressively improve them.
It typically starts with a workshop with the leadership team. As we have conducted this progress hundred of times, we know how to obtain the most information from you, in the least amount of time. We then hold a couple of shorter targeted meetings to refine the themes and priority areas for your business. We conclude by issuing you a communications deck and actions plan, bespoke for your business and your business objectives.
How will a sustainability accelerator help my business or organisation?
A sustainability accelerator is a fast track to understanding where you are today on your environmental, social, economic and governance impact management. This will enable you to communicate your position and ambitions to relevant stakeholders, authentically without the fear of being accused of greenwashing. Combined with clear action plans this helps you remain or become the first choice business for people to buy from, work for and work with.
How do I know if this is the right place to start?
Businesses typically, are doing many positive things on sustainability. Generally they are not co-ordinated, part of a wider strategy or able to be coherently communicated.
If your customers, employees or investors are asking you about your environmental, social and economic, how strong and confident are your responses? If they are not where you want to be, the Sustainability Accelerator will get you there quickly. You will be able to demonstrate where you are on your journey, where you are headed and how you will get there.
What do you deliver at the end?
The deliverables at the end of a sustainability accelerator program vary depending your business, sector and progress to date. Ultimately the common outputs are clearly identified significant impact areas, current and future performance measures associated, targets and actions to achieve them. That also provides communications content for your different stakeholders.
