Sustainability services and solutions

Drive forward sustainability with innovation and data

Today’s leaders understand that becoming a sustainable organization is not only the right thing to do; it’s the smartest way to achieve business outcomes. To be successful, organizations must embed sustainability into their DNA to manage, measure and track the outcomes of their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives—and, more importantly, to ensure a safe and resilient future for all.

As clients accelerate their holistic digital transformation journeys, integrating sustainability actions throughout their value chains has become a top priority. Together with our partners, we help clients activate and advance their sustainability goals through innovation, ecosystem collaboration, enabling technologies and relevant data—helping them move from aspiration to action.

Assessing your sustainability maturity

Becoming a sustainable business requires embedding sustainability throughout the business. To provide an actionable assessment of your sustainability maturity, we first conduct a fit-gap analysis of your current and to-be desired state. Then we examine 18 factors—from regulation and risks to technology readiness and ROI requirements—to provide a readiness report on how to reach your specific goals.

Building your sustainability roadmap

Using a robust framework and methodology, our sustainability and industry experts help map out your complete sustainability journey. The result is a comprehensive roadmap for embedding sustainability across your culture, strategy, planning and operational DNA.

Implementing sustainability measurement and performance

Data is the key enabler for measuring sustainability-related factors, from energy and resource use to supply chain performance. Drawing upon our deep expertise in helping clients embrace data-driven decision-making, we help make data the foundation for informed and innovative decisions. This also results in more transparent, traceable and accurate data to report your sustainability performance.

Developing your net-zero and ESG strategy

With more than 2,000 ESG indicators and 1,000 ESG reporting solutions on the market and counting, we understand that determining the most fit-for-purpose and effective strategy for activating your net-zero pledges is complex. Once we help establish your emissions baseline, we collaborate with the business and technology sides of your business to determine the practices and solutions required to achieve your net-zero goals.

Creating a sustainability leadership culture

Becoming a sustainable business requires leading with a sustainability mindset to implement change across the enterprise and value chain. Introducing and modifying governance, business and operating models, products and services, processes, and information systems requires strong and aligned leadership. Our human-centered design and change management experts help your leadership team gain enterprise buy-in and create adaptive organizations to chart the path toward positive change.
