CSRD

Our vision: from ‘be compliant’ to ‘be leading’

We believe that CSRD is not just a checklist and reporting guideline in which the focus lies on ‘be compliant’. Rather, we believe it is an important step towards a value-driven economy, allowing organizations to ‘be leading’ and positively distinguish themselves from competition and towards customers.

We help you understand the impact of CSRD for your organization – and take the next steps to become CSRD-ready.

CSRD-readiness

We help assess the impact of the CSRD for your organization. We believe it is important to start with defining your ambition. Here, we use our model consisting of 3 maturity levels – ‘start to, have to, want to’.

– Start to: organization is unaware of impact of CSRD and has not start with preparations
– Have to: focus on being compliant with CSRD. Additional steps are not (yet) aspired
– Want to: seeing CSRD as a way of taking a leading role and positively distinguish yourself from competition and towards customers

The key question to ask yourself: where do I currently position my organization and where do I want to position myself in the near future?
Steps & Results

We are aware that it is first and foremost important for organizations to have the basics in place. That is why we help organizations start their CSRD journey through a pragmatic approach consisting of several steps. You can find our approach and the results per step below.

CSRD Quick Scan

We can help you start with your CSRD journey by performing a CSRD quick scan. The CSRD quick scan is an easy to use, pragmatic way of getting insight into the most important focus areas for your organization regarding CSRD. It also gives you an overview of the strengths or your CSR approach. 

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

We believe that true sustainability encompasses not just environmental stewardship but also a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

By intertwining DEI strategies with sustainability initiatives, we offer a holistic approach to corporate responsibility, ensuring that your efforts benefit both the planet and its diverse inhabitants. In this case doing good is actually good for business as inclusive organizations tend to score higher on customer satisfaction, employee engagement and overall business performance.

Our specialized DEI services are designed to elevate your sustainability goals while fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace, leveraging the synergy between diverse perspectives and environmental action. We provide comprehensive surveys, tailored training and strategic implementation support, all aimed at embedding DEI principles into your sustainability practices. This integrated approach not only enhances innovation and team cohesion but also sets a new standard for business excellence.

Embrace a future where your organization leads with a commitment to both people and planet, recognizing that a diverse and equitable workplace is crucial for addressing the complexities of environmental challenges. Reach out to us to explore how our you can transform into a leader for a more sustainable and inclusive tomorrow.

Training & Inspiration

We help you and your organization understand what DEI means and how it relates to your everyday business. We do this by providing Awareness sessions to create awareness on inclusion and diversity within the organization. On specific DEI related topics, like unconscious bias or inclusive leadership, we can organize workshops and trainings. If you want to hit the core of creating a sense of belonging in your organization, we can facilitate ‘meaningful conversations’ on specific topics that are buzzing in your company.

Ambition & Strategy

We can also help you with incorporating social impact and DEI into your business strategy. Make DEI a part of your total business strategy to grow towards an inclusive organization, or better yet, translate your DEI ambition into a specific DEI strategy to increase employee engagement and really tap into the potential of your company.

Transformation & Change

We guide and support you in your company’s journey towards that inclusive culture. With our extensive transformation and change management experience and skills we combine the best of both worlds. We help you walk the talk by setting up a program that includes a baseline assessment to assess your organization on DEI principles and standards, conduct a inclusion survey to measure your employee engagement, and from their roll out tailor made DEI initiatives for your organization

Working from head & heart

We always use our transformation model, which starts from the company’s vision. We supplement this with our intrinsic motivation to contribute to a better world. In this way, together with you, we ensure sustainable change that matters.

We work with head, heart, and soul. Have an understanding of companies and understand how behavioral change works.
