- Assessment and vision – do you fully understand your current position, and have a focused vision of where you want to be?
- Legislation & standards – What legislation, standards and frameworks are you working with and towards? Have you made external commitments or declarations, and do you follow up on this with industry recognised KPIs and metrics?
- Strategy – Do you have a Sustainability Strategy with clear focus and long term & aspirational SMART goals, with clear follow-up?
- Integration – Is sustainability integrated into your business, from the company’s purpose, to individual sustainability goals and financial rewards?
