Integrating sustainability across the business—including in strategy and across the value chain—helps you build trust and deliver sustained outcomes to all stakeholders. A well-rounded integrated strategy gives you the opportunity to embed sustainability across your organization and create business value, resilience and competitive advantage. We help you unlock this opportunity by:
developing or enhancing sustainability strategies, integrating sustainability into corporate strategy and assessing ambitions for material sustainability matters and opportunities to drive business and societal value
integrating material sustainability matters—such as GHG emissions, climate risks, modern slavery risks and your social impact, both within and beyond your organization—across all corporate functional areas, including your supply chain
setting targets, developing key performance indicators and managing your performance
analyzing macro-level sustainability scenarios and stress-testing your strategy
Sustainability is set to become an integral part of business transformation and business model reinvention in the future.

identifying where sustainability factors align with the transformation agenda in your business, including technology needs, product innovation and supply chain management
developing or co-developing your transformation plan and roadmap
developing a target operating model to enhance performance against the integrated strategy
