Sustainability is complex and can be overwhelming, we are here to help breaking it down and lift the overwhelm.
We work with your team as a whole, fostering engagement and ownership of tasks among co-workers.
We understand the struggle of small companies, our solutions offer a gradual transition. One small step today can lead to a big change tomorrow.
Learning about sustainability and using the 4D Sustainability Canvas has helped us understand our impact and how to increase it as part of our business strategy. We plan to use the learnings and roadmap we have created to build a business that is more sustainability driven.
The expectations were exceeded. It was a very powerful activation energy!
The 4D canvas is a useful tool to broaden the perspective of organizations that want to understand their potential impact on different stakeholders throughout the value chain in terms of four key dimensions.
We managed to gain a clear vision of the organization's impact, on a macro level, and we took the first steps that would have not been possible without the 4D Sustainability Canvas.
It helped me to understand in an empirical and simple way how we can be more sustainable and generate more positive impact in our value chain.
