Sustainable Business
There are few today who doubt that social and environmental sustainability have become driving forces in twenty-first century business.
Sustainable business is at the heart of a prosperous society. The transitional journey to corporate sustainability consists of creating strategies founded in economic value that upon implementation deliver better social and environmental performance.
Sustainability management
Management of corporate sustainability is a core business strategy that results in the long term protection of a company through the systematic approach to examining economic, social, and environmental challenges. Our focus is on risk minimization and the improvement of potential brand value. With the construction of a Sustainability Balanced Scorecard, a company receives a suitable instrument in order to guarantee the achievement of strategic objectives and operational control.
Sustainability report
Sustainability reporting is one of the most important tools for managing sustainable development. Organizations are increasingly recognizing the value of demonstrating transparency and accountability beyond the traditional domain of financial performance. A Sustainability Report shows current company performance as well as challenges to be faced in the future. It is an attribute in facilitating organizations with the identification of and communication with stakeholders - clients, suppliers, institutions, staff. The report shows a collective attitude and business practice and distinguishes the organization from its competitors.
Sustainability Impact Assessment
Sustainability Impact Assessments aim to evaluate the economic, ecological, and/or social consequences of a diverse range of policies, plans, and projects. This tool helps our clients avoid making decisions that may result in the long term loss of sustainable value. It is an ideal modeling tool for government institutions and local authorities to evaluate the long term effects of new policy and legislation. Businesses can use the tool before embarking on large scale projects as a platform for managing risks to corporate value.
Green Procurement
To be a source of competitive advantage, the sustainability “lens” must be applied to the entire value chain associated with a product or operational system, not just to the segment of the value chain, in which the company operates.
For this reason, procurement managers are increasingly integrating environmental concerns into their strategic sourcing by recognizing organization’s waste, emissions, and environmental risks are often directly linked to the quantity and quality of the goods and raw materials it buys. Green Procurement is the selection of products and services that minimize environmental impacts. It requires a company or organization to carry out an assessment of the environmental consequences of products and services throughout their entire lifecycle.
