'Built-in': Integrating Sustainability for Organisational Success

OVERVIEW:

Sustainability is now an initiative for many organisations, but it is typically seen as separate from the regular business activities. This ‘bolted-on’ treatment can result in a fragmented approach that not only fails to fully embrace the Sustainability agenda, but misses an opportunity to leverage the benefits of Sustainability across the enterprise, leaving positive outcomes such as lower costs, higher revenues and enhanced brand reputation on the table.

Only when Sustainability is built into the normal business practices of an organisation will it truly be achieved in a holistic way that benefits the business as well as society and the environment. Otherwise, Sustainability will always be treated as an ‘add-on’ to the ‘normal’ work of the various functions and departments in the organisation; or even worse, seen as solely the job of the ‘Sustainability-ESG people’.

By having an integrated ‘Built-In, not bolted-on’ approach to Sustainability that incorporates the needs of all stakeholders, including Investors, Customers, Employees, Society and the Environment, the business will have a winning path forward to achieve performance and prosperity for everyone involved.

The aim of this workshop is for participants to learn the basic concepts and some methods to effectively integrate Sustainability into all areas of the organisation, from strategy all the way to operations, providing you with a valuable and unique skillset to help your organisation successfully implement its sustainability agenda and maximise its overall performance through a ‘built-in sustainability’ approach.

Key Takeaways:

• Current Approaches to Sustainability and Their Shortcomings
• The ‘Built-In, not Bolted-On’ Approach to Sustainability
• Developing an Effective and Integrated ‘Built-In’ Sustainability Strategy
• Designing a ‘Built-In’ Organisational Model that Incorporates Sustainability
• Deploying an Effective and Integrated ‘Built-In’ Sustainability Management Approach
