Accelerating Sustainability
Description of the service:
Contrary to the belief, sustainability is not only about the environment and reduction of Co2.
​
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the international community in 2015 are part of a compact. They reinforce each other, and the overall framework is holistic.
The environment and impact of the climate change are paramount. However, achieving sustainability requires managerial control and a clear strategy with solid indicators to get there.
​
Socio-economic issues should also be considered in transitioning to sustainable development. This includes results- based management and raising both individual and collective awareness.
​
It also requires the right resources at the right place in a company or institution, both at the local and national levels as well as in networks.
​
This consulting provides advisory services on how to formulate a sustainability strategy and how to monitor it over time, as well as where to put emphasis with clear recommendations to be achieved within a given time-frame.
