Making the business case for sustainability can be a challenge when talking with senior management. Particularly when it comes to asking for more money. By understanding the value and ‘return’ of sustainability programs, the business case becomes far more straight forward. The key lies in being able to measure, quantify and communicate the value – financial or otherwise – in an effective manner and in a way that is easy to understand.
In this session we will hear from three large companies on how they have demonstrated an ROI from specific elements of their sustainability programs. We’ll look in-depth at the specific tools used to assess this return and quantify the results.
Further, we will analyse these tools and how they can be used to assess strategic decision making, supply chain improvement, positioning and advocacy. We’ll also discuss how this information can be used to benchmark company performance, determine future strategy and justify budgets.
