Getting started with ESG and sustainability
Terminology can sometimes be confusing-we talk about both ESG and sustainability. We recognise a difference: sustainability is about the ambition you have as a company, while ESG offers a metric to make it transparent. With data on ESG elements, such as your CO2 emissions, inclusiveness, and processes within your company, you can work to make your ambitions transparent and true. This offers companies a chance to create value beyond their own walls - for other people and the world around us. At IMPROVEN, we integrate ESG into our approach so that companies can comply with laws and regulations while remaining future-proof. It is often no longer optional: we see our clients facing requirements such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and stricter ESG obligations. IMPROVEN helps translate and address these challenges into concrete steps: from strategy to reporting, and from process design to change communication. This way, we ensure that sustainable ambitions do not just remain on paper, but really become part of how an organisation works and steers.

Sustainability consulting
Under the heading "Sustainability consulting", we bundle the various services IMPROVEN can offer in the field of ESG. It is often a holistic approach: ESG will be anchored in the strategy, organisational objectives and in all aspects of business operations.
IMPROVEN helps narrow the gap between ambition and impact by supporting our clients in creating insight and providing practical advice. For example, a multidisciplinary assignment in the field of ESG may require not only our process consultants, but also risk and IT.
We divide our services into 3 categories: Value Creation, Implementation, and Performance Measurement. Below, we zoom in further on the different categories.

ESG VALUE CREATION
From ambition to sustainable course
A future-proof organisation starts with a clear vision and strategy on sustainability. ESG is not a separate initiative, but an integral part of business operations and positioning. We help organisations formulate ESG goals that are relevant to both the market and society.
IMPROVEN supports in developing strong ESG strategy.

ESG IMPLEMENTATION
From plan to practice
A good strategy is only valuable if it actually lands in the organisation. This requires a targeted translation into processes, systems and behaviour. We make ESG tangible at every level of the organisation.
IMPROVEN supports translating ESG strategy into operational processes by creating pragmatic efficient monitoring systems and clear management information.

ESG PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
From insights to accountability
Transparency on sustainability is indispensable for trust and steering. ESG performance must be measurable, explainable and verifiable for both internal steering and external reporting.
IMPROVEN helps organisations with reliable and data-driven ESG accountability.
