The six levers of sustainable transformation

Whether double materiality according to CSRD, supply chain law or an SBTi commitment - sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in companies. However, in many organizations there is a huge gap between their own ambition and concrete action. What measures can companies use to overcome their ambition-to-action gap? How can we finally take action and bring about real change? And how can system thinking help us do this?

Our white paper highlights the key problem areas that are currently slowing down sustainable transformation and uses a systemic approach to identify six specific levers that can positively and constructively strengthen corporate sustainability management and drive forward the necessary transformation of the economy. The basis for this is a survey of sustainability managers from various companies.

There is no alternative to sustainable change in the long term. Therefore, the sooner and more actively we shape it, the better. Because hesitation, procrastination or postponement only increase the risks and can lead to a real crisis. Our guiding principle is therefore: sustainability by design, not by disaster. We take a systemic and actively creative approach instead of reacting to problems in a short-sighted
short-sightedly, compensating for deficits and putting out fires. System thinking opens up completely different potential for positive self-efficacy.
