Figure out what you want to achieve and how you're going to achieve it.
Sustainability Strategy
A sustainability strategy is critical to implementing high impact sustainability initiatives, focussing on your business objectives and aligning the sustainability approach accordingly. Many organisations overlook this critical document but it is crucial to maximising the benefits of sustainability. The strategy sets your sustainability mission, a vision of what success looks, where you can have the most impact, why you are focussing on sustainability and how you will incorporate it into your organisation. Once you’ve got your strategy you can start developing objectives and KPIs to be tracked and monitored, and planning how and when to communicate with appropriate stakeholders. It’s like a road map for your sustainability journey, showing where your organisation is now, where it wants to get to and how it wants to get there.
