Our Services

Sustinere is an independent advisory firm providing sustainability related services, with subject matter experts recognised for the depth of their knowledge and a track record of making an impact. 

1. Sustainability Reporting

How do you communicate your company’s sustainability agenda? What should you communicate? How do you show the relevance of what the company is doing now and how it relates to sustainability?

A sustainability report is the key platform for communicating sustainability performance and impacts – whether positive or negative. Sustinere can help you in developing the sustainability strategy for your organisation, effectively communicate your organisation’s values, and demonstrate the link between your company’s strategy and its commitment to a sustainable global economy.

We can also help you to better understand the local and global context of sustainability issues and how to connect what you are doing to the bigger picture. We have experience working with the following reporting and assurance standards – UN Sustainable Development Goals, GRI Standards, AA1000APS, ISAE 3000, and can also provide advice if you wish to seek external assurance for your sustainability report.

2. Sustainable Supply Chain / Supplier Management Program

In an increasingly global marketplace, how can businesses ensure their supply chains are resilient to the many risks posed by climate change and the possibilities of unethical practices in distant factories?

A well-designed supplier management assessment and management process, incorporating supplier audits, can be efficient, cost-effective and enhance the quality of the organisation’s operations.

Companies undertake supplier audits for a variety of reasons, including:

  • As part of a supplier selection and onboarding process;
  • Periodic review of the supplier as part of a company’s internal controls framework and prior to contracts being renewed;
  • As a proactive measure to determine their third-parties’ compliance with legislation and contract clauses

Compliance-focused supplier audits are increasingly being perceived as best practice across a wide range of industries, and the audits can cover topics ranging from health and safety, environmental management, labour policies as well as business ethics. It is often an effective way to demonstrate and evidence a company’s careful oversight of supply chain management from a compliance perspective.

We can help you in your journey to establish a sustainable supply chain by developing your supplier management program, as well as implementation of the program and undertaking the supplier audits.
