At the centre of sustainable growth lie environmental stewardship, social wellbeing and economic prosperity. Sustainable business is a fundamental prerequisite in reaching the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as defined by the United Nations.

Governments as well as the private sector are crucial stakeholders to engage in order to reach the SDGs.

For private companies, mainstreaming sustainability throughout activities and engagements is good business according to international documentation and reports.

 

There are two main reasons for this:

• Risk Management - it reduces operational risks and adds value to business;
• Business innovation - It provides for innovative business opportunities

Defining coherent policies and strategies, analyzing value chains, building climate resilient infrastructure, investing in sustainable production processes, and ensuring inclusive employment and decent work are all essential elements in supporting sustainability.

Drawing on our in-house expertise and that of our network of collaborating partners, we have the technical know-how and sector-specific expertise to address sustainable business areas individually, as well as providing the crucial inter-linkage between sectors.

Our consultancy services to further sustainable business development include amongst others:

• Analysis and formulation of coherent sustainability values and streamline these values into company mission, vision, and win – win strategies.
• Formulation of policy, legislation and regulation to promote inclusive employment, job creation, decent work and social dialogue
• Social impact assessment, human and labour rights impacts
• Planning, formulation and implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects and initiatives. This includes compliance on CSR and strategic pro-active CSR.
• Value chain analysis including mapping and developing concrete shared value propositions
• Facilitate and establish partnership with stakeholder groups including civil society organizations
• Environmental impact assessment, lifecycle analysis, efficient resource utilization (energy, water) and reduction of waste as well environmental footprint
• Business and private sector development, including small and medium size enterprise (SME) development, and access to finance
• National and local level planning and formulation of programmes to strengthen and develop agribusiness, forestry and fisheries sectors for improved livelihoods, diversification and added value
• Development of internal and external communication strategies.

Peaceful societies promoting the rule of law and providing social protection, equality and access to justice for all, are fundamental to sustainable development.

In conflict areas in particular, there is a persistent need for social protection programmes addressing the rights of vulnerable groups and populations. As gender equality is progressing, the further empowerment of women and girls will play an increasingly crucial role in developing the economic growth of nations.

The equal entitlement to human rights, without discrimination, is a crosscutting issue, as well as a core area, of our operations. Several of our partners come from international law and human rights backgrounds and provide, in combination with our network of external consultants, an extensive platform of experience across the full scope of the human rights based approach (HRBA) to development. Among the services we provide to advance human rights and equality as a whole are:

• Human rights based approach (HRBA) assessment, analysis, implementation and evaluation
• Application of international mechanisms of human rights and international humanitarian law at the international and regional levels
• Human rights implementation, monitoring and reporting in post-conflict and transitional settings
• Legal systems development, strengthening and administration, and the promotion of rule of law and access to justice
• National strategy and action planning, and state reporting mechanisms
• Social protection mechanisms of disadvantaged, marginalised and vulnerable groups and populations
• Gender equality and parity analysis, and implementation of mainstreaming mechanisms
• Provision of equal rights and opportunities mechanisms, including income equality and parity in access to services
• Protection mechanisms against forced labour, violence, abuse and exploration

• Urban-rural linkages
