Sustainability

Challenges

Whilst the worldwide energy demand is rising, our planet is facing severe environmental damages as well as the depletion of its natural resources.

Government institutions must address those extraordinary issues, and corporations must adapt to changes in regulation and consumer patterns.

Yet, only a few organisations and governments are making strides.

Solutions

Governments should turn these challenges into a source of economic growth, and corporations should create a competitive advantage from new business and operating models. Sustainability initiatives could revolve around renewable energy, recycling, natural resource management, clean technology, and ecological footprint. Social inclusion and gender diversity are also catalysts for sustainable development.

Sustainability Study

For government and research organisations, we study the effect of sustainability issues, and we identify ways to:

• Stimulate the economy while protecting the environment and avoiding resource scarcity

• Diversify the national economy away from traditional resources/energy production activities

• Lower the carbon emission and energy consumption of the government estate

• Improve social and financial inclusion through the use of mobile financial services, fintech, and e-health, particularly in developing countries

• Promote women’s equality and entrepreneurship

Sustainability Strategy and Implementation

Working alongside economics, energy, and environmental experts, we can help corporations:

• Study the outcome of new regulations, and identify opportunities enabled by the latest technologies and customer trends

• Place sustainability goals at the heart of their strategy, and adapt their business model

• Create the business case, prioritise the initiatives which will bring the best societal benefit – profitable growth combination, and build the sustainability roadmap

• Develop the operating model, optimise the operations, and implement the transformation programme

Sustainability Investments

We advise financiers and corporations in reviewing their existing portfolio and assessing potential investments in sustainable companies.
