You can start your sustainability journey by taking little steps today that will evolve your enterprise’s culture long term. It is time to redefine business as usual and unlock potential in communities and employees while being responsible for the planet. A socially and environmentally responsible business will lead the transition to a new, more just-economy.
Now that you have downloaded the 4D Canvas and framework materials (if you haven’t done this yet, click here), the below guide is to help you to apply the methodology on your own. However if you feel like you need more support go to our Workshops page and check out our offerings.
3 hours (min)
3 - 12 (you can organize in groups)
– 4D Sustainability Canvas
– Action Cards
– Printable or online version of the Targets Template
– Two coloured markers, pens
TIP: use different colours for negative and positive impacts, it will help with the overall picture in the end
Tip: How to pick your goals and actions for your Targets Template? You can use a materiality matrix with impact and feasibility (or effort) on the 2 axes, and choose those actions that scored the best in both categories: big impact with little effort.
The team will gain an overall understanding of the negative and positive impacts of their company’s activity.
Understand what sustainability encompasses; after all it is a complex topic.
The team will learn about the UN SDG’s and have ideas on how businesses can contribute to achieving them.
Contact us if you would like to order customized cards based on your company’s industry and profile.
And now let the actions speak for the change.
The team will define practical and measurable actions with deadlines, owners and indicators, thus taking the company on the path of sustainability with little extra resource required.
TIP: You may reward the team in the achievement of the goals as part of their compensation package.
