Once these opportunities are revealed, we help clients develop a strategy tailored to their unique organization and culture, and then guide toward successful implementation.
We believe that the environmental and social challenges the world faces will fundamentally alter the playing field of business. Business leaders can treat these challenges as either threats or opportunities. Most companies have treated sustainability more as PR and something to be delegated to functional experts. We help leadership teams understand the challenges that are relevant to their business, assess their implications, craft strategies that create opportunity, and engage their organizations around the new innovative strategies.
We have a proven record of serving clients with strategy development, strategy implementation and technical sustainability know-how. Our three fundamental capabilities are described below:
1. Strategy development We focus on helping our clients create the plans and conditions to drive shareholder value by applying a 'lens of sustainability' to the business. Plans are distinguished as quick-wins, innovation projects or game changers. This work often includes a 'footprint' assessment and an opportunity analysis focused on the intersection of a client's specific sustainability impacts, market and customer trends, and cultural readiness. Because the value from sustainability is often hidden, our process includes the essential internal and external stakeholders throughout the development of the business plan.
2. Strategy implementation We support capturing and/or accelerating the business value from sustainability. Implementation of any new plan requires changes in focus and attention of people throughout the company. We have great expertise in developing and managing processes that work within our different clients current structures. This implementation support often takes the form of creating and managing Sustainable Value Networks made up of key internal and external stakeholders critical to success.
3. Sustainability expertise This is focused on value chain management/innovation (green & ethical sourcing, manufacturing process improvement, sustainable agriculture & origination), energy and waste efficiency, product design & scorecards, marketing and communications, and new business development.
