Analysis

We analyse and report the true impact of your existing or planned operations, supply chain and product/services on society and the planet. The analysis reports give decision makers confidence to what extent a business is net-positive for the planet and people, and directions on how to remain profitable.

Our reports are often used as a basis for expansion to new, or within existing, markets. They also accompany purpose-driven change projects and compliance along the supply chain.

Costs range from EUR7,500 to EUR30,000, depending on the complexity and nature of the business and its products/services. Reports are usually complete within 5 to 20 days and key indicators can be submitted within 24hrs.

The business case for sustainability

Whilst many sustainable business practises are driven by law and obligation, our partners understand that sustainable organisations have benefits beyond those of environmental impact.

In our experience, sustainable businesses become more efficient, they improve their reputation and build stronger brand value and loyalty. We see our sustainable partners experience stronger growth, as well as attract engaged staff and strengthen stakeholder relations. In short, sustainability is more than just a tagline, it is a key competitive competency.

We have seen that a strong commitment to a sustainable future drives value-creation and is the single largest and scalable contributor to restoring our planet.

A sustainable outlook is both profitable and necessary for the following industries:

Electric and hybrid products, robust supply chains, CO2-neutral production and innovative mobility concepts are as much of a challenge to the industry as the financial-return demands expected by shareholders and investors. Yet both the environmental and fiscal goals will only be met if the automotive industry drives towards sustainability.

Customers, regulators, investors and employees demand fair finance, inclusive access, diversity and green financial products. This can be the basis of a lasting competitive advantage and, more importantly, is better for the planet, too.

The most sustainable company in the world is currently an energy producer. Regulators and customers demand not only renewable and affordable energy, but also sustainable and regenerative management approaches from producers.

Meeting these challenges makes sense and lowers the cost of capital, as well as the costs to the climate.

It is just as challenging, as it is a demanded by customers, investors and regulators. Customers increasingly expect their products to be sustainable. Fortunately, retailers can provide more transparency and accountability, securing their competitiveness.

The sector produces about 40% of all carbon emissions, which not only means heightened responsibility for manufacturers, but also a significant opportunity to secure customer loyalty and establish a lasting competitive advantage.

Where chemical producers committed to sustainability and a circular economy in their operations and strategy, they have been rewarded with increased stock performance, and significant risk and cost reductions.
