Sustainability Planning, Benchmarking and Reporting Sustainability planning is the most crucial element in achieving Corporate Social Responsibility. A solid socio-environmental plan identifies key challenges and opportunities, outlines concrete action steps and defines timelines and responsible parties. We can help you plan for sustainability, aligning your core values with your financial goals. Whether you need a new plan, revision of an existing strategy, or advisement on a specific challenge, our team is fully prepared to guide you along the path to corporate citizenship. Benchmarking sustainability is an important factor in the development of Key Performance Indicators. How do your best practices measure up to those of your competitors and general industry standards? Implementing guidelines and policies pertaining to environmental impact facilitates long-term qualitative assessments of your company’s performance to ensure that sustainability becomes an integral part of your corporate culture. According to the 2008 KPMG report, twice as many top U.S. companies released sustainability data in 2008 compared to the same study conducted three years earlier. Worldwide, 80% of the Global Fortune 250 companies now release Corporate Responsibility data, compared to 64% in 2005. Of all companies studied, 70% cite ethical concerns as the primary driver in CSR disclosure. On a national level, companies trail the G250 with only 45% of the total sample issuing reports, but numbers vary from less than 20% in Mexico to more than 90% in Japan (Source: KPMG). Sustainability reports satisfy the demands of stakeholders by demonstrating strong corporate ethics. Transparency is the best policy where sustainability is concerned and we can help you achieve it. Whether you decide to publish an annual standalone report or simply want to dedicate a section of your web site to CSR, we can help you determine the best strategy for your specific needs.
