Sustainability and industry

A sustainable business from strategy to execution

Many (industrial) companies are aware of their role in today’s world and work hard to make a positive contribution. Moreover, there is an increasing amount of product-related legislation in the field of sustainability. Take for example the focus on Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG code) in the investment world, the upcoming European Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), and the financial accountability for companies in the field of sustainability.

SUPPORT IN TENDERS

Government tenders are containing more and more requirements in the area of sustainability. We often see this, for example, in tenders for civil engineering, office furniture, municipal services, and waste services. Moreover, a clear vision and execution of sustainability measures are factors that can distinguish your company in a tender. Our advisors support companies in tenders and also help governments in issuing tenders with concrete sustainability ambitions.
