Sustainability as a growth driver

Sustainability as a management task: Shaping the future with corporate responsibility

Sustainability is no longer a “nice-to-have,” but a decisive factor for success. Customers, investors, and partners expect responsibility—for the environment, society, and a sustainable economy. Companies must combine sustainability goals with economic interests, identify risks early on, and respond flexibly to new market requirements.  

Strategically anchoring sustainability as a management task creates structures and processes that make responsible action measurable and enable sustainable growth. We support you in taking a holistic view of sustainability – from strategy development and organizational design to operational implementation – and thus establishing sustainability as a growth driver and foundation for long-term corporate success.

In this blog post, I would like to provide an outlook on 2023 and the following years, this means the near future of our domain that is dedicated to fighting financial crime. As always with such outlooks, this one does not claim to be complete, but is a mixture of subjective perception and observation and objective analysis.

In April 2013, an outcry went through the media when over 1,000 people lost their lives in a building collapse of a textile factory in India.

Much is being written about and reported on the topic of supply chain compliance, whether this be the German Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz (LkSG/Supply Chain Act), the corresponding EU directive that is in preparation, or the extraterritorial laws that have been valid internationally for some time and also affect the supply chain such as the UK Bribery Act (UKBA) or the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

Sustainability

Consistently anchoring ESG criteria is now far more than just fulfilling legal requirements. Their implementation has long been a decisive competitive factor.

What is not green is made green - The advancing social and political paradigm shift is reflected in the growing interest of investors and consumers in sustainability, environmental protection aspects and social responsibility. ESG (Environmental Social Governance) is on everyone's lips and refers to corporate orientation towards criteria of environmental protection and social responsibility as well as honest corporate governance beyond the legal minimum.
