Embed your sustainability ambitions in your company along the following steps:
Make sustainability a strategic priority. Provide appropriate training for Board and Executive team members. Ensure at least one person on both committees can contribute the sustainability perspective.
Establish a sustainability team. Ideally, this should comprise specialists and key role holders across your company – and where possible, spanning all hierarchical levels. Set clear objectives and tasks for sustainability officers and regularly review their progress.
Schedule regular meetings, outline work packages and integrate sustainability project development into your existing activities. Ensure your sustainability commitment becomes an integral part of your planning rather than an add-on to existing work.
Host events focusing on challenges and progress in key sustainability areas. Enable all staff to engage enthusiastically with sustainability initiatives. Create an environment where even radical ideas for improving sustainability performance can be tested and recognised.
