Sustainability: the business case

We use scenario modelling ('what if…' analysis) to hone in on the effects of tightening global capacity constraints on your business. For example, we might use the scenario 'oil price bounces back to $150/barrel by December 2009' to help draw out from your leadership team your business's direct sensitivity to oil price, how this differ from that of other organisations, and what these findings tell you about the need for adaptation. Alongside the need for adaptation, we help you understand the indirect sensitivity of your business to the the five mediated sustainability drivers, and what mitigation measures you may need to take in response. 1. Customers look to retailers to carry out sustainability 'choice editing' on their behalf 2. Investors are looking for sustainability initiatives which increase shareholder value. 3. UK firms are acting now in anticipation of to the UK's forthcoming Climate Change Bill and other legislation 4. Staff want to know that their work is part of the solution to climate change, not part of the problem 5. Are you building a sustainable supply chain? We work with you to choose the right scenarios for your business, building up our bank of scenarios where necessary to include those of particular relevance to you. We encourage you to think globally, not just about local operating conditions, when setting adaptation strategy.
