The Sustainability Chessboard

Reducing the carbon footprint, setting up a sustainable, circular, and responsible supply chain or transforming to a sustainable business model. The demand for change is clear, but the way forward leaves room to maneuver. Organizations struggle with uncertainties what to do and how to go about it. They miss a clear sustainability roadmap. That is where the Sustainability Chessboard® comes into play: The book is aimed at clarifying gaps in today's practice and pointing out future needs. It shows you how to realize your organization's overall sustainability potential. Our sustainability framework propels you in three steps from the drawing table to the implementation phase. A universal approach, a different book on sustainability, that steps back, avoids jargon, and is intuitive and easy to use – as indicator, guideline and handbook alike. The Sustainability Chessboard works for businesses of all kinds—whatever their size, sector, or organizational maturity. Ambition levels and organizational enablers may differ, but the stepwise approach can be applied to all types of organizations: just identify your playground and start your discovery based on your goals and available resources. It's your sustainability action plan.
