How We Operate
The project implementation approach primarily depends on the development phase, scale, and goals of the company. The path to Sustainability within an Organization begins with data-driven analysis, which forms the basis for developing your sustainable strategy and roadmap. To aid your practical implementation, we support you in developing a business model, assessing the sustainability of investments, reviewing supply chain operations, and applying circular economy principles to product and service design.
With Impact Measurement, we conduct organization-level analysis to measure your environmental or social impact, including process mapping, data collection, building and refining analytical models. We understand the results and develop proposals to address identified pain points, adhering to international standards applicable to this field, such as ISO 14044 and ISO 14040, PAS 2050, or EN 15804+A2 for EPDs.
In the Innovation Support domain, we design and coordinate the deployment of internal innovation services to create sustainable long-term practices in existing processes and products. For small businesses and startups, we provide innovation support through sustainable programs and accelerators, either representing clients or collaborating with our partners (e.g., Challenger Accelerator). If you're looking for funding, we help you select optimal financial options and prepare funding applications.
