Putting Sustainability into Action

Sustainability is no longer a side activity for businesses. Investors, customers, employees, suppliers, and the public are clamoring to see the sustainability impacts on US firms.

  • A company's ability to deliver financial returns for its investors is fundamentally linked to the stakeholders it serves, the society in which it operates, and the natural resources it uses.
  • Sustainability and ESG are integral to a firm's decision-making; indeed, they need to be embedded in the firm's DNA. But where to begin to put sustainability into action?

What Gets Measured Gets Done

Empirical studies show that sustainability is an essential element of a firm's long-term value.

  • By mapping how its current financial metrics are achieved and where sustainable value is likely to be added or impaired, a firm can chart a course to sustainable value creation.

Burton Astor LLC deploys a tailored mapping platform to define the interconnected value creation processes of the firm and assesses its critical sustainability impacts.

  • The key operational and sustainability value drivers are measured for current and desired future status.
  • Key performance indicators (KPIs) are set for these value drivers and targeted to the people responsible for performance.

Take Action

Targeted KPIs isolate the essential operational and sustainability value creation performance tailored to the firm's unique business model.

  • Actual comparative data is gathered, and KPIs are tracked on an ongoing basis from both a financial and sustainability view.
  • Value can then be optimized by identifying needed improvements, deploying essential solutions, and tracking the progress on operational and sustainability performance factors.

Reporting

The KPIs report data on the firm's performance to be reported to shareholders and stakeholders on both a financial and sustainability basis.

  • Rather than just stories, the firm can show facts about where its performance has met or exceeded expectations and where it is missing the mark.
  • Progress in alleviating shortfalls can be tracked and reported over time.

Get Started

Fortunately, the Burton Astor analytical platform can be installed with minimal time and financial commitment and can be customized to address specific key business areas. Subject-matter experts are on hand to address technical, environmental, social, and governance issues.

If your investors, customers, employees, or suppliers anxiously seek your sustainability data, this is a great solution. You are invited to reach Vern Broders to consider how you would create more value for your firm by putting sustainability into action.
