Shaping sustainability
Sustainability is becoming a must for society and companies. The pressure to act is increasing, consumers want sustainable products, investors are demanding transparency and new regulations are inflating. A rethink is required, and wider engagement, a must. Those who see sustainability as an opportunity will stand out from the competition and ensure their long-term existence.
Into the future with sustainability
Companies are facing big, new challenges. Compliance is no longer sufficient. Proactivity, initiative, and transparency are vital – and the right ambition level. We believe that sustainability can and should be anchored into companies’ DNA.
We rely on cross-functional teams and are driven by a shared awareness that sustainability is the way forward. We assist companies at every step along their sustainability journeys with the following offering.
Sustainability Maturity Assessment & Materiality Analysis
Negligence in dealing with sustainability and ESG risks can quickly cause significant risks to the business. In order to be able to develop effective strategies in a competitive environment, a company must know where it stands currently and what it wants to stand for in the future. To this end, we have developed various frameworks to determine the status quo and address the right topics.
Ambition and sustainability strategy
What is a company´s ambition in terms of sustainability? Where does a company stand compared to its competition? The development of a formulated strategy with measures, targets, and an implementation roadmap is the starting point for a successful sustainability transformation.
Carbon footprint assessment
Essential building blocks in the field of sustainability are the measurement of emissions and the reduction of the CO₂ footprint. We help overcome this complex challenge, to create a realistic, transparent evaluation and respond to company-specific needs with effective reduction measures.
Green Levers – concrete solutions for greater sustainability
Reducing CO₂, recycling, utilizing recyclable materials, using energy more efficiently – there are many approaches and solutions for more sustainable business. But which approaches are scalable, suitable for your own product range, and practicable? Which measures deliver the highest degree of efficiency, while remaining cost-effective? With the H&Z Framework, green levers are developed in line with objectives, for each step along the value chain.
Sustainability Transformation – People, Culture & Mindset
Sustainability is now an integral part of the agenda for most companies. As a result, adjustments are necessary to thrive in this new landscape. People and engagement are key – many transformations fail because of resistance to change. H&Z helps to involve people, corporate culture, and mindset to master the transformation together.
SUSTAINX – Community & Solutions for Sustainability
Since sustainability is a transformation journey that affects everyone, everywhere, it comes naturally to us to drive this transformation by applying the Head, Heart and Hand philosophy – for the good of society and our planet. To underline the importance of sustainability, we created an independent company, SUSTAINX, to be the sustainable spearhead of the H&Z Group.
Responsible Procurement: Leading the Way to a Sustainable Tomorrow
Procuring goods at the expense of the planet is no longer acceptable. It is time for procurement to take action. It is time to shine for procurement.
