Corporate Strategy
Sustainability strategies are increasingly being seen as a business imperative in a progressively more competitive environment. The most successful strategies are those that are embedded within mainstream business strategy, as opposed to standalone strategies. In our experience this maximises its value and better enables companies to focus on the opportunities offered as well as the risks faced.

Sustainability GAP analysis & benchmarking
Sustainability increasingly offers competitive advantage to businesses. Using our Deloitte Sustainability Scorecard we can help you to understand your strengths and weaknesses, and improve your sustainability strategy by benchmarking your sustainability activities against minimum legal requirements, industry peers and good practice in your international markets, and by undertaking a GAP analysis to identify areas where your activities could be strengthened.

Sustainability Strategy Design
As sustainability rises up the boardroom agenda, we can help you bring your piecemeal sustainability initiatives under a holistic strategy. An effective sustainability strategy can help your organisation obtain maximum value; we will design it, identifying material issues and suitable KPIs, build a roadmap for implementation, communicate the strategy and achieve ’buy-in’ from key personnel, updating the strategy as required.

Governance
A successful sustainability strategy, requires a governance structure that will ensure efficient delivery. We can help you at all stages of the sustainability lifecycle to: identify the key stakeholders who are critical to delivery; implement appropriate governance structures; develop the necessary policies to achieve your aims; assist with rolling them out into the business, and embedding them within all your activities; and finally conduct compliance assurance in line with industry codes of conduct.

Innovation
Innovation is key to achieving a sustainable economy. We can help you to assess the sustainability of your new products and services and help you ensure these are suitable for your new markets. Our services include Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), which map all life cycle stages of a product to evaluate potential environmental impacts, including carbon and water use.
