Sustainability strategy and communication

As sustainability consultants to listed companies, we help you build sustainability strategies that start from the materiality assessment and are anchored in your overall strategy. Goals, priorities and frameworks such as the SBTi and the SDGs are tied together with a communication platform aimed at the capital markets. We work on both the substance and the communication, so that the strategy can be reported on and talked about.

A sustainability strategy sets the framework for sustainability work and makes it possible to communicate it credibly and consistently. Without a clear strategy, communication risks coming across as ad hoc or lacking nuance. Investors and analysts expect sustainability work to be integrated into the business strategy and companies to be able to show how it affects risk and long-term value creation.

A well-crafted strategy starts from the results of the materiality assessment, defines concrete goals and priorities and describes how the company intends to achieve them. It should also cover how the sustainability work links to the business strategy and how it is to be communicated to relevant audiences.

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a framework for setting science-based emissions targets in line with the Paris Agreement. Companies that join have their targets externally validated, which strengthens the credibility of the sustainability strategy and climate communication to investors and analysts. We help you assess whether the SBTi is right for your business and support you through the application process and implementation.

The CSRD requires companies to report on how their sustainability work drives actual decisions, policies and goals. A well-constructed sustainability strategy makes CSRD reporting easier and more credible, as there is substance to report on. Without a strategy, reporting risks becoming a compliance exercise rather than a communication tool.
