Impact & Portfolio

At the heart of our work lies a clear ambition:

Making sustainability the foundation of future-fit, competitve business and rebuilding trust in international cooperation.

Achieving this ambition is about appreciating the importance of trade-offs. Successful solutions will be derived from striking the right balance between environmental ambition, competitiveness, and social safeguards. These solutions must also align with what our key target group, businesses and financial institutions, need to make the transformation happen in practice.

We tackle implementation challenges in sustainability-critical sectors such as food, forests, and mining to ensure our solutions are grounded in market practice and tailored to the actors who drive change.

We work across borders and institutions to translate sometimes abstract societal goals and complex regulations into practical, scalable solutions. Whether advising governments, financial institutions, or companies, we connect policy with market realities to make sustainability work in practice.

We shape, simplify and implement sustainable finance policies and standards without compromising ambitions

Due Diligence, disclosure, and taxonomies form the foundation of more resilient and future-proof business models. We support the development and implementation of sustainable finance policies and tools that drive tangible impact globally. We collaborate with policy makers, like the European Commission and national governments in Africa, Asia, Europe and South America, to feed our knowledge from research and practical experience working with the private sector into effective and feasible policies.

We work with companies to co-develop solutions that support their role in the sustainability transition.

We support the sustainability transformation and actively contribute to the development and implementation of internationally aligned, sector-specific disclosure and due diligence guidance. By working closely with companies and financial institutions, we demonstrate that identifying sustainability impacts and risks is both feasible and essential for long-term business success. We turn sustainability into a business case by expanding access to finance, strengthening risk management for companies and financial institutions, and cutting costs through more efficient resource use.

We unlock market demand and incentives for sustainability action along global value chains​

We identify and enhance regulatory and market incentives that turn sustainability into a competitive advantage for stakeholders across global value chains. We support investors in understanding and managing the risks within the complex value chains of their portfolio companies. Additionally, we develop data-driven solutions and strengthen relationships between suppliers and customers.
