Strategy and materiality

Strong sustainability strategies start at the top. We work with boards and senior leadership to define ambition, build alignment and embed sustainability into core decision making. Through tailored sessions and advisory, we ensure leadership teams understand the strategic implications, regulatory context and business opportunities. 

Formalised sustainability strategies, supported with numbers and communications, allow you to prioritise activities and make progress on your sustainability journey. We work with you to craft sustainability strategies, all the way from defining what sustainability means to you, your stakeholders and your vision, through to measuring, managing and monitoring key activities and embedding your strategy into your day-to-day culture.

Identify the sustainability issues that are most material to your business using a systems-oriented, double materiality lens, fully aligned with reporting needs. We deliver robust single and double materiality assessments aligned to CSRD and ISSB, combining stakeholder engagement with data driven analysis to define your most material ESG topics. This allows your business to understand and communicate your top priorities, providing the foundation for strategy, reporting and regulatory compliance.

To gauge the effectiveness of your strategy, it's crucial to establish targets supported by key performance indicators (KPIs). We work together with you to define your sustainability targets and establish the relevant metrics and targets and tracking, harmonisation and reporting mechanisms. This ensures that you can track performance, demonstrate progress and supports credible disclosure.

Successful strategy execution hinges on a clear grasp of the required tactics and initiatives, and the availability of necessary resources and capabilities. We build practical roadmaps that translate strategic priorities into phased initiatives, with clear responsibilities, timelines and resource requirements. This helps you move from ambition to delivery.

Embedding sustainability across the business is essential for long term success. We design governance structures, policies and processes that support accountability, cross functional collaboration and effective oversight, ensuring that sustainability becomes a core part of how your organisation operates.
