Sustainability Strategy
Creating a Strategic Action Plan for Success
A sustainable business strategy is a set of actionable steps that a company takes to improve its impact on the community and the environment. The strategy should incorporate economic, environmental, and social factors into an organization’s policies, practices, and processes. If executed properly, the results should include progress toward Net Zero emissions reduction, employment engagement, and improving profitability.

Materiality Assessments
Providing Strategic Focus to Address the Most Relevant and Impactful Issues
Materiality assessments encompass two companion concepts: Materiality, which assesses the significance of ESG issues for a company and its stakeholders, with a focus on the impacts of a company’s activities on external factors, and Double Materiality, which recognizes that sustainability issues can have material consequences for both the organization and the external environment. Materiality assessments are utilized to identify and prioritize the most relevant and impactful issues to address in terms of regulatory compliance, stakeholder interests, and community relations, in addition to highlighting key priorities for internal decision-makers, for purposes of reporting, target setting, and strategic planning.

Scope 1 and 2 GHG Footprinting
Identifying Emissions Sources, Mitigating Risk, and Demonstrating Environmental Responsibility
Carbon footprinting for Scope 1 and Scope 2 is an essential business process for companies of all sizes. Scope 1 emissions are the direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy. The benefits of accounting for GHG emissions are to improve environmental performance, comply with regulations, drive cost savings, and share the responsibility with the supply chain. Companies may also see an enhanced reputation, increase in consumer loyalty, investor confidence, and employee engagement.

Target Setting
Establishing a Clear Framework for Planning, Measurement, and Improvement
Scientists and other experts forecast dangerous climate conditions and humanitarian crises stemming from drought, rising sea levels, and extreme heat. The 2015 Paris Agreement commits countries to limit the global average temperature increase to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and to aim for 1.5°C. Companies have a pivotal role in mitigating climate risk by setting targets and achieving them over the next two decades. Multiple target-setting methodologies exist, but the most accepted approach is the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Though most companies around the world are setting targets voluntarily, the European Union has mandated targets via various regulations.
