Many companies today need to develop a sustainability plan if they want to effectively combat relevant issues such as climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. The elaboration and development of a corporate sustainability plan helps companies to have a better public image, greater efficiency and better brand representation.
The sustainability plan is a document that defines and describes all actions related to the reduction of a company’s environmental impact. The objective of a sustainability plan in organisations is to add value and reduce risks in the medium and long term. It is a strategy focused on achieving the company’s objectives in a sustainable and organised way.
The main objective is to build an agenda of sustainability actions-commitments through a structured plan, with the participation of selected internal managers and stakeholders of the organisation, which contemplates a specific time horizon and allows the subsequent deployment of sustainability, helping to boost the framework of the business strategy, brand positioning and profitability objectives.
A sustainability plan is aimed at all types of companies, regardless of sector and size. Due to the nature of the service and the corresponding objective, it is mainly focused on companies that are starting to develop their environmental, social and good governance commitments, as well as the creation of new departments and demand from suppliers, clients and/or potential investors.
Developing and implementing a sustainability plan is an efficient way to achieve sustainability in the organisation and has numerous advantages:
– Anticipating customer needs: customer demand for more sustainable products and services.
-Environmental, social and governance compliance.
-Brand positioning and competitive advantage.
– Proactive engagement with other stakeholders.
– Improved sustainability management with cost reduction and savings: sustainability plans involve the implementation of measures to promote savings and efficiencies.
– Responding to the needs of employees.
– Deployment lever of the Strategic Plan.
– Optimise access to finance.
