3 Steps for Effectively Implementing Sustainability Strategies
Sustainability needs to be effectively integrated into the core of the business for it to flourish. An example of a sector that is struggling to put sustainability into practice is the transportation sector – evident from its 21.7% contribution to the total CO2 emissions of the European economy in 2018. A sustainability strategy must directly connect to a company’s must-win battles. Such a strategy can be made actionable through the development of roadmaps, well-prioritized actions, and convincing communications. This article looks further into ways to effectively implement a sustainability strategy with an example of transportation company Farm Trans, that strives to be a frontrunner in sustainability in the sector.

CSR Implementation and Interim Management
Designing a strategy for corporate responsibility is only the beginning. The real challenge lies in the integration of this strategy into the DNA of the organization. A successful strategy implementation depends on the enthusiasm and support within the organization. The business case must be clear, but employees also need to be able to be inspired and engaged by the strategy. That is why innovation, inspiration and creativity are focal points in our approach, in addition to a solid academic foundation.
