Leading sustainability
The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.
A sustainable future calls for collective action, bolder leadership, and smarter technologies. Businesses must adapt and initiate bold changes to play a part in building it – they can achieve this through switching their mindset to new business models and ways of working to ensure the maximum positive environmental impact. In so doing, they also stand to develop competitive advantage and strengthen their organizational resilience.
Here we’re sharing our insights on how to tackle sustainability challenges, from carbon savings and design to finance and insurance.
“a sustainable future is achievable only with deep collaboration with our clients, suppliers, and other stakeholders.”

Data for net zero
The growing urgency around climate change has placed it at the forefront of global issues. To avoid its worst impacts, global greenhouse gas emissions must be halved by 2030 and lowered to net zero by 2050. Against this backdrop, we wanted to explore the role of data in this process. We found that the net zero ambitions that organizations have set for themselves suffer from various inadequacies. Most, for instance, fail to cover all emissions scopes. Worryingly, the coverage of scope 3 emissions, accounting for a significant 65‒95% of a company’s carbon footprint, is especially low.

Sustainability and energy
World Energy Markets Observatory
The 24th annual World Energy Markets Observatory tracks the development and transformation of energy markets around the world. It also examines the urgency to create balance between two equally important imperatives – the security of affordable energy supply and the fight against climate change and considers both issues within the context of a series of successive crises that impact supply, pricing, and consumer behavior.

Measuring impact: a methodology to inform transformative project design
The reality for most professional services organizations engaged in supporting their clients’ business transformations is that the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction impact that they can have with their clients can potentially be hundreds of times their own operational footprints. Created in collaboration with Forum for the Future, this report seeks to stimulate an important debate about how professional services companies and other organizations working to deliver sustainable outcomes for their clients can meaningfully measure these impacts. It introduces the GHG Impact Methodology for calculating the GHG emissions either during the design phase or at the end of a project, empowering organizations to optimize business projects and maximize their sustainability impact.
