Sustainability Change Management

To accelerate performance on today's biggest sustainability challenges, understanding the key success factor to implement your sustainability program is crucial. As experienced trainers, Finch & Beak offers programs to maximize the impact and capture the highest value from sustainability. Since 2003, Finch & Beak has collaborated with world class business schools such as IMD Lausanne, INSEAD Singapore and SKOLKOVO Moscow for lecturing, coaching and case writing on the business value of sustainability.

We use these experiences to support teams with the implementation of change programs related to sustainability; for instance on sustainability and innovation, the action planning of CSR strategy and the acceleration of the non-financial reporting process. Finch & Beak is a certified facilitator of Change Pro©, a simulation tool that challenges groups of participants to efficiently and effectively implement a sustainability program.

Index, Impact or Both ESG Survey Results.jpg

ESG Ratings: Index, Impact or Both?

Just before the results of the 2021 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), were announced, Finch & Beak conducted an ESG survey among DJSI-eligible companies. In the attached report, you can find the main survey results. The overall conclusion from 143 respondents is that for most of the companies, the undesirable trade-off between index and impact occurs frequently due to mounting workloads to generate ESG data and the absence of standards. The report suggests solutions to avoid the 'reporting trap' by scoping sustainability performance as a supply chain challenge, avoiding over-instrumentalism by engaging closely with stakeholders, and selecting and prioritizing the right ESG benchmarks.
