Resource Library: Sustainability Success Stories

The public discourse around sustainability and sustainability reporting is often driven by sentiment rather than facts – and many companies have become hesitant to talk about their achievements (“green hushing”). We set a counterweight: By telling the success stories of companies who continue with sustainability management.

Success Stories: Sustainability in Corporate Practice

On this page, we share case studies we developed together with sustainability frontrunners. Concrete, fact-based examples of how companies put sustainability into practice. They show how companies with very different starting points address sustainability systematically, which hurdles they faced, what kind of investments they took and why it paid off. Each story offers practical orientation and concrete starting points for your own implementation.
