Make your company sustainable by integrating social responsibility into your business strategy

The challenge

Corporate managers are constantly questioning their roles, responsibilities, and levers for action in the face of the social and environmental challenges of the 21st century.

While the majority of companies have understood the importance of going green, only half have a sustainable development policy in place. This dissonance between intention and action is often due to a lack of understanding of the complex issues involved in sustainable development, but also to the absence of methods for tackling the full range of ESG issues.

It is with this in mind that COESIO proposes a methodology for diagnosing a company's overall performance. Because without understanding, no one can act.

Our approach

The diagnostic aims to paint a picture of the company's overall performance - in co-construction with the sustainable development committee - on the four dimensions of sustainable development: governance, economic, social, and environmental.

This analysis is based on the EVO2030 maturity grid developed by COESIO and aligned with multiple international benchmarks.

Such an exercise enables the company to pinpoint its strengths, identify areas for improvement, take a fresh look at its business ecosystem, and prioritize the issues on which it wishes to focus.

The challenge

A strategic planning approach is the main tool used by company managers to organize future activities, business developments, and improvements over the next 3 to 5 years.

However, these tools have demonstrated their many limitations in terms of their ability to take into account the long-term issues and major risks facing our society, such as climate disruption, the collapse of biodiversity, or social inequalities.

This is a view shared by the majority of business leaders, who do not believe in their ability to adapt to the new paradigms of 2030.

The solution

It is therefore essential to rethink strategic planning tools to integrate a sustainability component: global strategic planning.

This approach is aimed at organizations wishing to improve their practices and address issues such as biodiversity erosion, employee well-being, climate change, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

The global strategic planning methodology enables the deployment of sound organizational performance across the four dimensions of sustainable development: governance, economy, society, and the environment.

The challenge

Although sustainable development is a recognized concept in most of our societies, the number of companies that have implemented sustainable development action plans remains very low.

One of the reasons for this is the difficulty managers have in ensuring the long-term viability and skills development of in-house sustainability teams.

This situation leads to the exhaustion of managers in charge of CSR/ESG strategies, the achievement of mixed results in terms of impact, and the frustration of the stakeholders involved.

Our approach

COESIO's operationalization methodology is rooted in agile management practices aimed at rapidly taking action, building learning, and relying on continuous improvement to constantly refine your teams' performance.

Sound governance of operationalization is co-developed with our team to limit the additional workload on your managers while aligning with your internal structures.

To ensure your autonomy, we coach your managers to enhance their ability to operationalize sustainable development within your company.

The challenge

Financial players, principals, employees, and business partners - the key stakeholders in the business ecosystem have high expectations of companies of all sizes.

At the same time, the landscape of ESG reporting standards and benchmarks is evolving at great speed, as witnessed by the progress made on ISSB, CRSD, and TCFD.

Finally, cases of greenwashing continue to be denounced by civil society, which now expects serious commitments on these subjects.

In this context, it is very difficult for an SME to position itself and highlight its ambitions, its results, and the key figures of its approach.

Our approach

A sustainability report must be accurate, balanced, reliable, and ambitious.

To achieve this, several key elements need to be considered when carrying out such an exercise, whether it be the definition of the scope covered by the reporting, the data collection structure, alignment with international benchmarks, quality assurance, or the involvement of key stakeholders.

Thus, reporting is an exercise as important as it is complex.

Faced with these challenges, COESIO helps you deploy an effective, dynamic, and structured approach to empower you in the preparation of your ESG report.
