Outcomes and deliverables

A clear, company-specific sustainability strategy

A documented sustainability strategy that:

  • Defines your priority sustainability topics

  • Sets clear strategic objectives and focus areas

  • Aligns sustainability with your business model and resources

  • Provides a realistic roadmap for the next 1–3 years

Supporting deliverables

Clear process documentation in line with current best practice:

  • How material sustainability topics were identified and assessed

  • Key assumptions, inputs, and trade-offs

  • Leadership decisions and rationale

  • Stakeholder engagement protocols (e.g. surveys, interviews, etc)

This documentation supports internal alignment, future updates, and external audits if needed.

How the strategy is developed

I help you prioritize the right projects to ensure your first steps on the sustainability journey are easy to accomplish, create momentum, and bring high returns. Depending on your company's needs, this might entail:

  • Working sessions with leadership or key decision-makers

  • Targeted stakeholder input where relevant

  • Review of business context, market expectations, and regulatory signals

  • Translation of insights into practical strategic choices

The exact format and depth depend on your company's size, maturity, and capacity, but the structure remains consistent.
