Set goals and strategy
It is important to place sustainability work in a larger business context. We support the formulation of a clear ambition, definition of relevant goals, and strategies to ensure success in all three dimensions of sustainability.
Clear goals and strategies become a good starting point for governance and reporting. It facilitates prioritization and actions in the coming steps. To analyze whether the company’s transition is on the right track, scientifically based goals can also help. The goals should be met in a sustainable way, which requires well-considered analyses of what measures are needed and when they can be implemented. The new normal is now to set so-called Science-based targets. The journey towards Net Zero is also central, and we help you all the way.
Below some key areas where we assist clients:
Strategic ambition and goal setting
Transition begins with ambition. Achieving the necessary sustainability goals requires companies to elevate their strategic ambition, both in terms of responsibility and solutions. A good starting point is to define the company’s strategic ambition: What responsibility do we have, and what role should we play in achieving sustainability goals? At 2050 Consulting, we support ambition and goal-setting efforts to ensure your goals are scientifically based and well-integrated within your organization. We can also adapt these goals to meet the criteria set by the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) and assist in getting them approved. Once the goals are set, a plan is needed for their achievement. We often begin with a current situation analysis, which then guides us to an action plan that considers both economic and practical feasibility.
Net Zero
The journey towards global net zero has begun, but we are only at the base of the mountain. Just as the development of the internet and digital technology transformed organizational operations, the pursuit of net zero will change how organizations function and engage with their customers, staff, and suppliers. 2050 Consulting is a strategic partner for companies at any stage of this journey. We take a business-driven approach to help you future-proof your business model and value creation.
Nature
In today’s business landscape, an increased focus on nature is becoming more important for sustainability and long-term success. Now the new legal requirements also apply to sustainability reporting – CSRD. This means that companies must acquire knowledge of how their operations in the entire value chain affect nature.
In 2050, we are experts on climate. It is therefore natural to support our customers in finding synergies in the work with climate and other aspects of sustainability. We see that there are clear gains to be made by coordinating the work, not least to slow the loss of biodiversity and enable ecosystems to continue providing important services such as food, timber, clean air, water and resilience to natural disasters and climate change.
Strategies and action plans
Based on ambition and goal setting, 2050 Consulting supports the development of strategies and concrete action plans. We have extensive experience in creating sustainability strategies that align with overall business strategies and organizational structures. The greatest business benefit is achieved when sustainability strategies are fully integrated into the business strategy. Goals for significant sustainability issues and follow-up need to be coordinated with other processes and routines. We ensure that strategies for concrete implementation are developed in all significant areas.
Governance and guidelines
We assist companies in developing, updating, and implementing sustainability-related documents, such as sustainability policies and codes of conduct.
External analysis
An external analysis identifies focus areas, sustainability goals, and ambition levels of relevant actors within a specific industry, serving as a basis for sustainability-related strategic decisions. It can also identify the potential impact of upcoming sustainability-related legal requirements on the business, helping to develop realistic future scenarios
Stakeholder analysis
By engaging in dialogue on sustainability issues with key stakeholders such as employees, customers, and suppliers, organizations gain valuable insights into the most significant issues for each stakeholder group. 2050 Consulting can support the effective collection and analysis of this valuable data.
