Various crises impact a company’s business, and when looking ahead, environmental and social crises are at the top of the list, which explains why sustainability should be central to a company’s roadmap. 

The high number of social and environmental questions companies are facing shows the complexity of the topic: 

  • How can we maintain our growth in the face of climate change and resource depletion? 
  • How can we guarantee the traceability of our products and ensure the social and environmental commitment of our suppliers? 
  • Are we mature enough to address rising ecological and social challenges? 
  • How can we make our activities, operations, and corporate culture sustainable, as expected by our clients and society? 
  • How can we make sure our company contributes to the UN’s sustainable development goals and make it part of our strategy? Which Sustainability Performance Indicators should we monitor? 
  • Are our green financial investments aligned with our environmental commitment and our ambitions? 
  • Knowing that 53% of French people are willing to pay more to have products from committed companies (Opinionway poll, 2019), how should we transform our brand(s)? 
  • How should we communicate with our clients on our CSR engagements? 
  • Knowing that millennials will reach 75% of the workforce in 2025 and are deeply engaged in a search for meaning, how can we become more attractive for them?
