Strategic advantage through sustainability

“Get ahead of the curve with a sustainability strategy that drives profit and value, not just compliance.”

Process
It starts with a leadership team strategy session (not just a workshop). We start with a look at competitive position, risks and opportunities and build your business case for progressing sustainably. Then we look at where you can make a difference, what you’re already achieving and where you want to be.
The rubber then meets the road as you benchmark current performance, set objectives and key result milestones. This includes consideration of return on investment of both time and capital.
Then the strategy and action plan can be clearly defined and communication created for the stakeholders that are integral to it and care about the outcomes. Finally you establish a management and control regime, ideally as part of business as usual.

Sustainability strategy and plan FAQs
How quickly will I see ROI?
Depends on your specific opportunities and risks. Typically in year gains and full ROI within 24 months.
Will this detract from other business initiatives?
We try to do as much of the heavy lifting as possible. Ideally we adapt and tweak existing processes and systems to capture additional data, and make it business as usual. Every business only has so much "initiative capacity" so you should consider timing. Our experience enables us to make the process complement other projects.
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.
Do you know enough about our sector?
Our process is sector agnostic, however having worked with over 300 businesses across over 30 sectors the chances are we know enough. Part of our preparation is customer, competitor and sector analysis so we are never coming in to you with a generic session.
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 a clear strategy, a resourced action plan, benchmark metrics, targets and milestones. Every organisation then has their own communication specifics.
Can you help me make the changes needed?
Yes. We also provide training, mentorship, and resources to help you develop your sustainability action plan and implement it successfully. We are available to provide ongoing support and guidance as you make progress towards your sustainability goals. And provide accountability if you want it.
