Anchoring Sustainability in the operating model

Ancho­ring Sustai­na­bi­li­ty is not only a task for a dedi­ca­ted CR/Sustainability depart­ment. For Sustai­na­bi­li­ty to be an inte­gral part of your com­pa­ny it needs to be embed­ded in all lay­ers of the ope­ra­ting model.

We sup­port you in making Sustai­na­bi­li­ty part of your dai­ly work, from stra­te­gy to pro­ces­ses, from orga­ni­za­ti­on to gover­nan­ce, from tool solu­ti­ons to peop­le and cul­tu­re you ope­ra­te in.

Sustainable actions

Being a sustain­ab­le com­pa­ny means loo­king upstream towards the n-tier sup­plier base but also down­stream towards sales, mar­ke­ting and the custo­mer base.

Only when the sup­ply chain in full is stri­ving towards the same tar­gets your company’s busi­ness model can be tru­ly sustain­ab­le. Smart tool solu­ti­ons can enab­le your need for trans­pa­r­en­cy and data while auto­mi­zing the over­all pro­cess.

We sup­port you in sharing your visi­on and tar­gets with your sup­pliers. We sup­port you in iden­ti­fy­ing the right mea­su­res and levers to fos­ter sustain­ab­le and cir­cu­lar busi­ness prac­tices, to pro­du­ce sustain­ab­le pro­ducts, to build sustain­ab­le and cir­cu­lar sup­ply chains.

Awareness and engagement

Both edu­ca­ti­on and encou­ra­ge­ment are key enab­lers to be suc­cess­ful. It requi­res an active push for cul­tu­ral and mind­set shift to make a dif­fe­rence. Show­ca­se your Sustai­na­bi­li­ty ear­nest­ness in dai­ly deci­si­on making and beha­vi­or – for employees to adapt the­se habits in their respon­si­bi­li­ty are­as.

Activi­ties of all kinds fos­ter this trans­for­ma­ti­on, making sustai­na­bi­li­ty part of everyone’s dai­ly agen­da – whe­ther it is recy­cling in the office, or biking to work or chal­len­ging your sup­pliers.

We sup­port you on your mis­si­on to rai­se awa­re­ness and gene­ra­te com­mit­ment.

We sup­port your ambi­ti­ons in buil­ding up com­pe­ten­ci­es or desi­gning new ways of sup­plier col­la­bo­ra­ti­on.
