Strategic business planning and
Business design
Future business is linked to the promotion of sustainable development. Companies that can provide solutions will survive in the competition. In many sectors, acting responsibly and promoting it is already becoming a prerequisite for staying in the market – not just a competitive advantage. That is why it pays to integrate sustainability objectives into your business strategy.
The Sustainable Strategy service looks at a company’s strategy and the whole value chain from a sustainability perspective. What is your company’s role in the sustainability transition? How is the company and its activities part of the solution rather than the problem? What is the common goal that motivates staff, stakeholders and customers?
Benefits for business
- Competitiveness and advantage
Sustainability requirements for businesses flow from the top down. More and more companies will sooner or later have to demonstrate their sustainability performance and plans as well as report on their performance to stay in the supply chain..
A responsible strategy is not only a prerequisite for competitiveness, but also an opportunity to build a competitive advantage: a company seeking solutions to a common problem is an attractive partner for many. For many companies, the search for sustainability solutions also offers opportunities for new business and new partnerships. - Better price
A company that understands its role in promoting sustainable development and can communicate it clearly will motivate customers, employees and investors to commit to its goals. - Minimize risks
Sustainable solutions are often more efficient, cost-effective and measurable. Resource efficiency means less waste and higher recovery rates. Many consumers and buyers are also interested in the sustainability of a product. Sustainability can be a prerequisite for a purchase decision or a reason to pay more for a product.
