At Sustainability Economics, we support organisations on climate transition and sustainability, with a particular focus on transparency and natural capital.
Sustainability Economics is a boutique firm specialising in advisory and research on sustainability as a key value driver. We collaborate with private and public organisations to assess the economic, social, and environmental impacts of sustainability initiatives. Our work supports clients in integrating sustainability into their decision-making processes, enhancing long-term value creation, and addressing complex challenges in climate finance, adaptation, nature, and sustainable investment strategies.
Sustainability covers a broad set of topics important for supply chain risk management, governance, and strategy. They include risks and opportunities associated with climate and nature, greenhouse gas emissions, stakeholder relations, business ethics, and human rights, among others. Financial materiality, the effect of these topics on the financial outlook of a firm, is relevant to business management and governance. Beyond financial materiality, the impacts of business operation on people and the planet directly and indirectly affect a business's relationship with a broad set of internal and external stakeholders who increasingly expect businesses to interact responsibly with the environment and the stakeholders.
Sustainability is becoming an urgent and important topic that small businesses increasingly prioritise. Whether sustainability impacts are seen as risks, opportunities, or both depends on the nature of the business sector and activities. With the implementation of disclosure regulations and the release of transparency standards, sustainability-related assessments affect small businesses across value chains, sectors and geographies.
