THE OPPORTUNITY

​

 

There is a rapidly narrowing window of opportunity to transform your business into a sustainability leader, authentically and holistically, in an low-carbon economy taking shape around us as we speak, and join the movement to enable climate resilient development.

​

Why? Because sustainability is no longer just a matter of reputation and trust, but an opportunity to gain a competitive advantage.

​

In 2023 and beyond, sustainability is a subset of quality assurance for your business – because it connects your business with the realities our society and our economies are facing and that has financial, legal and governance impacts.

 

Businesses that are not across this, voluntarily accept increasing business risk, and with the pace of change and disruption, this inherent business risk increases, year on year.

​

But the flipside of risk is opportunity. Streamline your success...

Embedding sustainability as a business strategy opens the door to competitive advantage, in increasing efficiencies and lowering cost, in engaging staff and enhancing workplace culture, in becoming an employer of choice and improving brand appeal in a burgeoning green economy upon us.  

​

But don't just take our word for it. All the research is pointing in one direction.... 

​

In an SAP Insights survey, over a third of industry executives from midsize professional services firms now see sustainability advancement as the top priority to improve revenue growth.

 

Mastercard’s latest research reveals that 82 per cent of Australian SME leaders identify sustainability as critical for success in their industry.

"The companies that seek to build long-term value for their stakeholders – will help deliver long-term return
s to shareholders and build a brighter and more prosperous future for the world." ~ BlackRock CEO, Larry Fink

'Business action on climate change can inform innovation, mitigate risk, unlock better connections with stakeholders, and build brand and reputation. A growing number of companies are realising that setting a course to net zero can provide a powerful guiding light in turbulent times as well as delivering commercial benefits, as those leading the change are already experiencing.' ~ University of Cambridge Institute For Sustainability Leadership

'Net Positive businesses, over time – save money, reduce risk, innovate more, build vast valuable corporate reputations and brands, attract and retain talent and have higher employee engagement.' ~ Paul Polman

​

Initiate a transition towards your business becoming a sustainability leader in your sector - authentically and holistically.

A typical scheduled rollout is over 3-6 months:

​

The program is rolled out at your pace in usually 3 to 6 months, depending on the resources you can devote to sustainability, with access to online learning and coursework and monthly workshops where you will talk through the development sustainability strategy and its implementation in live sessions online with a dedicated business sustainability consultant.

You are 2 steps away from transforming your business in 2024: 

​

efficiencies

What gets monitored gets improved upon. One outcome is the development of a KPI dashboard that allows you to track all the significant numbers and by doing so, not only improve efficiencies but gauge the success of your own sustainability journey.

brand appeal

Research shows that 92% of consumers will rather purchase products and services from environmentally accountable businesses – all things being equal.  Providing sustainable service offerings cater to a burgeoning green consumer economy developing around us.

Better tender applications

Embedding sustainability as a business strategy encroaches on every aspect of your firm including project work and as such firms are better able to speak to increasingly significant ESG requirements within tender applications

cultural improvment

When leaders commit their firms to becoming a part of the solution staff rally behind perhaps the greatest cause of our generation. This increases engagement which is apparent in the survey results we receive from 95% of staff feedback surveys we run with all clients. Staff engagement often leads improved productivity and ultimately profitability.    

green economy contributions

Purchasing carbon credits in carbon offset projects means making investments in biodiverse forests, tree farms, wind farms and solar projects that inherently develop the green economy.   

Employer of choice status

Firms that want to attract the best talent are now seeking to become employers of choice via CSR and sustainability accountability.

Better ESG Management 

Architects play a key role in helping their clients define and meet their ESG targets for projects, driving better outcomes for the environment and for users, and better value and financial returns. It is worth noting, however, that of the three components of ESG, the first two, Environmental and Social, are the ones that we have the most opportunity to positively influence through our design work.

long-term resilience and profitability

The nature of economies around the world are moving towards pricing carbon and nature, which economies must do if we are to protect future generations. We are already seeing the roll-out of sustainability and climate disclosure regulations across jurisdictions. Aligning with the green economy developing around the world means future proofing your business and ensuring long-term profitability.
