We understand that many organisations struggle to develop their unique business case for sustainability. Leaders may also find it challenging to inspire their teams to achieve more with less, be a responsible 21st century organisation, as well as generate sustainable profit and successfully deliver projects. At MJC we create innovative solutions to these challenges. We work with our clients to exceed their goals by bringing the best skills, systems and technologies to help them reach their goals.
Our perfect client is one who is committed to working out exactly what value a “sustainable” business can bring to them and their stakeholders.
We help these companies define what “sustainability” means for their business and stakeholders.
This could be in the form of resource efficiency leading to cost savings, developing new products and services, better communication of sustainability intiiatives and achievements, employee engagement and earning a competitive advantage in the market place.
A client engagement may involve a mix of the following capabilities:
Analyse: Identify the unique buisness case for sustainability in your business. Assess which sustainability risks and opportunities are important to you and your stakeholders and the future success of your business.
Design: Develop a Sustainability Action Plan for your business with goals that are easy to understand and value. Design a project framework to help you monitor your progress towards success.
Implement: Provide guidance to your in-house team to implement the action plan and continually strive to attain greater goals.
Deliver: Join your Board or Senior Management team as a Sustainability Coach to challenge you and help you succeed.
Products and Services
Executive briefing & training: Before embarking on any new business strategy development and implementation, there if course needs to be good reason to do so. At the same time, the key to any successful business strategy is ensuring that all stakeholders have a common understanding of the issues that the strategy is trying to address or improve. To address these 2 issues and make sure your team can answer the question: what’s it all about? The first step is to run a series of workshops or executive briefings. These workshops will outline the sustainability megatrends we see occurring globally in order that the business gains an understanding of how these megatrends may impact on future business objectives. To do this briefing with maximum impact requires a basic understanding of the business plan and long to short term core business objectives. Once you have briefed us on your core business objectives we can tailor-make a sustainability and/or climate change briefing session or training program for your team. Such sessions can be run from 1 hour to 1 day depending on your requirements.
Risks and Opportunities Assessment: An essential step towards developing your unique business case for sustainability is the assessment of sustainability and/or climate change risks and opportunities for your business. The key here is not simply to identify potential legal compliance and customer requirement issues you may have, but also to look for that unique business advantage in a changing business environment.
Benchmarking sustainability performance: It may be important to you to get a clear picture of what your competitors are doing to improve their own sustainability performance and create competitive advantage from doing so. We can provide you with a comprehensive snapshot of how your competitors are addressing the risks and opportunities of sustainability and climate change. This is a very useful tool for you in developing your own business case for sustainability.
Developing your business case for sustainability: Sometimes, it may be challenging to clearly articulate why your business should embark on the development and implementation of a sustainability strategy. Professionals at MJC Sustainability have faced that exact challenge many times over and know just how to formulate and present the business case for sustainability within your unique organisation or project team. Making a clear and unshakable business case for sustainability will ensure that your stakeholders are open to the change process that comes with implementing a new business strategy. When your team has a clear picture of what business sustainability is all about, we will work with you to develop your unique business case for sustainability. This can be done at both the corporate and the project-specific level.
Baseline assessment: You may already have some form of sustainability or climate change strategy or program in place within your business. This could be in an organised way or as a series of disconnected initiatives across your organisation. Our baseline sustainability assessment will provide you with a clear picture of your sustainability performance against internationally recognised sustainability performance criteria. The baseline sustainability assessment will also provide recommendations on where your sustainability initiatives are delivering maximum business advantage and where you have the most opportunity for improvement.
