LEAD & IMPLEMENT

From sustainability talk to impactful action – engage your partners to your sustainability goals

When climate impacts affect customer relationships and access to financing, action is required. As the value chain is often the largest source of emissions for many organizations, we help map your network and develop a clear and practical plan to achieve your targets.

FOR WHOM AND WHEN

Are you in the right place?

If you want to engage your partners in climate action or face expectations to reduce value chain emissions, you’re in the right place. We help identify the most effective levers for influence and build practical operating models to engage your partners in structured, goal-oriented climate work.

Network mapping that provides a clear overview

When there are many partners, where should you start? We conduct a comprehensive network mapping that enables you to prioritize engagement actions effectively and in a way that best supports your climate targets.

Action plan that drives business outcomes

Engaging partners may seem challenging at first. We create a concrete action plan that enables you to secure the commitment of your most important partners and suppliers to your organization’s climate targets.

Even with a solid plan, unexpected challenges may arise along the way. We provide support as needed in implementing the action plan, helping you overcome obstacles and ensure that progress continues smoothly.

Process

Three steps

STEP 1

Assessment

We map your key stakeholders and value chain actors, identifying the most effective ways to engage partners in a systematic and goal-oriented manner.

STEP 2

Plan

We develop a concrete plan for engaging partners, defining roles, timelines, and key actions in a structured way that is directly applicable in practice.

STEP 3

Implementation

We can also support the implementation by helping engage partners in practice and ensuring that agreed actions progress in line with the plan as part of day-to-day operations.

Our foundation

Partner engagement is grounded in a systematic analysis of value chain impacts and practical operating models that support emission reductions in collaboration with partners. The results can be used to manage value chain emissions, prioritize actions, and extend sustainability efforts beyond the boundaries of the organization.

Frequently asked questions about this service

Partner engagement refers to the active involvement of suppliers, subcontractors, and other stakeholders in a company’s sustainability and emission reduction targets.

A significant share of a company’s emissions and environmental impacts originates in the value chain. Without the involvement of partners, reducing environmental impacts becomes much more difficult.

Engagement can include, for example, setting targets, providing training, running joint development projects, collecting data, and creating incentives that encourage more sustainable choices.

Typically, the process begins by mapping the value chain and identifying the key partners that have the greatest impact on emissions and environmental impacts.
