The Age of Sustainability is just beginning. It presents threats and opportunities for your business because investors, employees and customers expect strong environmental and social performance.
That’s why companies are reducing their carbon footprints, limiting plastic use and cutting toxins and pollutants.
In 2020 Osgood Consulting prepared the new sustainability strategy for a tech company in the Fortune 300. Our work included the first materiality analysis undertaken by the company in response to growing customer sustainability needs. We helped the company set one- and three-year goals, and develop a roadmap to tackle waste, consider net zero carbon commitments and expand its diversity and inclusion (D&I) efforts.
We also assisted a tech start up establish its sustainable finance goals, create its charitable giving frameworks, crystalize the company’s purpose. and ensure its values are embedded in its policies, management systems and KPIs.
Now is the time for leading companies to secure their position in the emerging “circular economy.” By tackling sustainability with innovation, companies can implement new business models to reduce waste, increase efficiencies and improve performance.
