Sustainable development

Sustainable development issues are numerous and complex. Thanks to our expertise, we can help you build a global vision to transform your business. 

What are the sustainable development challenges facing companies? 

EU Taxonomy, Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, Corporate Sustainabilty Reporting Directive, etc. are regulations which are restrictive for a number of organisations, and add to the pressure already exerted by customers, consumers, investors or civil society on companies and organisations to change their business model. There are also opportunities (React EU, PIA, etc.) to support initiatives aimed at transforming the organisation and making sustainable development more central to its business. 

These environmental and societal challenges, as well as the multiple pressures mentioned previously, require organisations to have a global vision of all their impacts at the level of their operations and their value chain, which makes it essential to better integrate the principles of Sustainable Development.

This leads our customers to integrate them into their business models, to rethink their usefulness to society and to the projects they support on 3 levels: 

  • Improving products, services, and brands by measuring impacts, establishing progress plans or responsible branding strategies 
  • Transforming businesses and organisations by building environmental strategies (decarbonization, energy efficiency, circular economy, or biodiversity), responsible investment strategies (ESG, shareholder engagement or due diligence) and CSR strategies (stakeholder relations). 
  • Co-constructing ecosystems and supporting the transition of industries by setting up large, complex, multi-stakeholder, public and private projects, leading to structural changes beneficial to the establishment of new, more sustainable businesses and new markets with positive impacts

Specialising in several areas of expertise to guarantee a 360° vision, we offer ambitious, interdisciplinary, and tailor-made approaches, which are crucial when tackling these issues of sustainable development.
