Policies and governance
Policies are the bedrock of any sustainability strategy. They make it clear what your business stands for. They let your employees, customers, and suppliers know what’s acceptable, what isn’t, and what you’ll do to tackle issues.
But creating and implementing policies can be tricky. Too little detail and they’re not credible. Too much, and they become hard to read and difficult to enforce.
We’ll help you create credible, enforceable policies that align with your sustainability strategy. And we’ll help you implement strong governance to ensure accountability in their delivery.
Policies
Our template policies include:
- Environmental (net zero, biodiversity, waste)
- Diversity, equity and inclusion
- Living wage
- Sustainable procurement
- Ethics
- Human rights
Each policy is aligned to the guidelines provided by EcoVadis, helping you improve scores in this popular ESG rating platform, as well as B Corp certification.
We’ll help you tailor each policy to your business’s unique requirements (and sustainability requirements). Then we’ll guide you on how best to implement them
Governance
If there’s one thing that years of experience working with 100+ clients has taught us, it’s this: a successful sustainability strategy needs the backing of a business’ leaders. Without it, employees are likely to find sustainability initiatives difficult to implement – particularly if there are competing priorities.
We’ll help you create an effective governance structure, with targets and policies assigned to and backed by nominated individuals, with a clear review process in place.
So for every part of your strategy, there’s always someone in the driving seat.
