Frequently Asked Questions

The business case for sustainability is compelling and multifaceted. It includes operational cost savings through resource efficiency, enhanced brand value and customer loyalty, improved employee engagement and retention, better access to capital and investment, reduced regulatory and reputational risks, and new market opportunities through sustainable innovation. Our approach helps organizations identify and quantify these benefits to build a strong business case tailored to their specific context and priorities.

We measure sustainability performance through a combination of quantitative metrics and qualitative assessments across environmental, social, and governance dimensions. This typically includes resource consumption (energy, water, materials), emissions and waste generation, social impact indicators (employee wellbeing, community engagement, human rights), and governance metrics (ethics, transparency, risk management). We align these measurements with established frameworks (GRI, SASB, SDGs) while tailoring them to your specific organizational context and strategic priorities.

The timeline for developing and implementing a sustainability strategy varies depending on organizational size, complexity, and current sustainability maturity. Typically, the initial strategy development takes 3-6 months, including assessment, stakeholder engagement, and planning. Implementation is an ongoing process, with initial initiatives often launched within 6-12 months and more comprehensive transformation occurring over 2-5 years. We focus on creating both quick wins and long-term structural changes to ensure continuous progress and value creation.

Effective stakeholder engagement is central to our approach. We use a structured methodology that includes stakeholder mapping and prioritization, tailored engagement methods (surveys, interviews, workshops, advisory panels), and ongoing dialogue mechanisms. This ensures that diverse perspectives inform your sustainability strategy, builds ownership and commitment, identifies material issues, and creates collaborative solutions to sustainability challenges. We help you establish transparent communication channels and feedback loops to maintain productive stakeholder relationships over time.
