This international retailer wants to be a frontrunner in sustainability. It already made improvements on many sustainable topics. After being inspired about the B Community, the Dutch organization formulated the ambition to use the B Corp standards and methods. To assess the current level of social and environmental performance according to the B standard. Been Management Consulting is a B Corp Way Partner. Can we guide them? Sure we can!
Interviews, B Impact Assessment, Workshops
First, we onboarded client in the B standards. What does this holistic approach entail? We organized interviews with key employees, analyzed publicly available materials and compliancy with B standards.
In phase 2, we completed the B Impact Assessment to identify the current level of ESG performance. Looking at sustainability in the broadest sense: Environment, Employees, Clients, Community, and Governance.
We involved colleagues of different departments and disciplines to answer questions on operational impact and the company's business model. Together with the client, we developed a detailed improvement plan. Along the way, we facilitated outside-in inspiration and workshops for the leadership team.
Quick Scan and Continuous Improvement Plan
We delivered a Quick Scan with key strengths, key opportunities for improvement plus an assessment of compliancy items. In phase 2, we completed the B Impact Assessment. We delivered a detailed improvement plan for continuous improvement. This includes a roadmap, action plans for each board member and colleague. Plus an investment overview for the first sustainable improvements we recommended.
