Sustainability Strategy

The challenge

In most companies there are already a lot of sustainability-oriented activities and initiatives in place. But dealing strategically with sustainability is necessary for your company if:

requests related to sustainability from different stakeholder groups (customers, suppliers. partners, press/public) increase
sustainability issues in the value chain have increasing relevance for the business
a clear superordinate goal and the integration of sustainability into the company´s strategy is wanted
the priority of the issue is not clearly defined within the competitive and market context
you did not publish a sustainability report yet
