Sustainability strategy and sustainability
management in companies

Taking sustainability aspects into account in corporate strategy is the new normal and is fundamental to the sustainable alignment of business activities and the realisation of potential opportunities as well as the avoidance or reduction of risks. Without economic success, however, there can be no sustainable transformation - and vice versa! We will work with you to develop a basis for your sustainable success story. From analysing the initial situation and gaining insights to identifying the motives and wishes of your stakeholders to developing specific measures and targets - we are at your side.

 

Project management

It is not always easy to maintain an overview in the face of increasing requirements and complexity. With our expertise in project management, we are your point of contact when it comes to the efficient and timely implementation of projects.

Maturity level, environment/market and value creation analyses

It is important to take stock in order to recognise your own position and possible backlog demand, especially in comparison to the industry or the overall economic environment. We will support you at this point with analyses of the degree of maturity and the market environment. Analysing the value chain also reveals potential fields of action.

 

Materiality and stakeholder analysis

At the heart of the sustainability strategy and the subsequent reporting is the materiality analysis, which takes into account the motives and goals of the company's stakeholders by means of ongoing dialogue. A materiality and stakeholder analysis is essential to ensure that only relevant aspects are included in the sustainability report and that the strategy is focussed on these aspects. This requires a well thought-out concept and implementation. As your sparring partner, we will work with you to ensure that your reporting complies with the ESRS.

Development of a sustainability strategy

Sustainability and corporate strategy go hand in hand. In the coming months, many companies will need to explicitly address the topic of “sustainability” as part of their strategy for the first time. We will accompany and support you in this process by developing structured plans and measures on the way to a holistic sustainability strategy and effective sustainability management.

 

Establishment of a sustainability organisation

A good strategy alone is not enough. It must be implemented effectively. It is therefore also important to consider the establishment of a suitable sustainability organisation. We will support you in setting up your sustainability organisation with recommendations for action and best practices.

Development of measures, guidelines, targets and key performance indicators

Once the relevant topics have been defined, the next step is to address the impacts, risks and opportunities with appropriate measures and guidelines in order to achieve the goals set for improving the company's impact on the environment and society or to improve the anticipation of risks and opportunities. However, the general principle applies that what cannot be measured cannot be managed. The definition of key performance indicators and the associated data collection and controlling systems are therefore an equally important part of our support services.

 

Selection of IT tools

With increasingly complex requirements and company structures, the need for suitable IT support is growing. We can help you select the right software for you and your expectations.
