A new frontier is here. A world in which businesses must act in the best interest of all people. A place where all natural resources must regenerate. A planet where all waste and pollution must dissolve.
Traditional corporate charity, social responsibility campaigns and add-on impact programs are no longer enough; customers expect companies to address social and environmental issues in a meaningful, transparent and measurable way.
Organizations rating highly in their approach to environmental, social and governance practices outperform the market in medium and long range terms.
Sustainability is the new north star.
Companies must become strong stewards of our planet and people, taking responsibility for the resources they require and improving the lives of their workers. Brands should look to the UN Sustainable Development Goals as a guide on structuring their goals and targets.
Companies must embed innovation at the core of their strategy and operating model; managing a portfolio of sustainability initiatives that enables them to make concrete impact, communicate better to their customers and disrupt the status quo.
Companies must deploy rigorous assessments of their supply network, going beyond Tier 1 partners and into materials sourcing. 3rd party audits and certifications must be adequately verified to ensure standards are adhered to, in order to drive transparency and trust.
Customers will choose you over competitors, the most talented and passionate employees will want to work for you, and investors will seek the financial benefits of your vision.
Real-time traceability will drive accountability from suppliers to end delivery, and satisfy consumer demand for transparency around provenance and measurable impact.
Enhanced visibility and agility will reduce extended risks such as unsafe working conditions, supplier reliability, stringent regulations and disruptive competitors.
Companies will generate savings from sustainability practices such as resource management, packaging design and waste reduction, both internally and across their value chain.
Augmented decision making, data-driven product & process innovation, and personalized experiences help companies powerfully acquire, engage and retain customers.
Higher quality, safer and sustainable products will differentiate your offering, improve your customer experience, spark brand advocacy and justify premium pricing.
