Sustainability strategy and policies
A strategy teams can work with.
Policies they can put into practice.
We help leadership translate material priorities into clear commitments, defined responsibilities and a roadmap for implementation.
Discuss your sustainability directionFrom priorities to action
Direction, policy, accountability and measurement need to work together. We help management establish the connection between each priority and the work required to address it.
What needs to change?
Translate material topics and assessment findings into strategic priorities. Connect the direction with the organisation’s activities, existing practices and capacity to deliver.
What takes shape
Strategic pillars and implementation prioritiesWhat will guide decisions?
Develop policies that make the intended approach clear. Establish their scope, the responsibilities they create and how they relate to existing policies and processes.
What takes shape
A coherent policy frameworkWho will move the work forward?
Connect priorities with the functions responsible for implementation and oversight. Make the roles of leadership, departments and data owners explicit.
What takes shape
Governance and departmental ownershipHow will management judge progress?
Define indicators, target horizons and the information required to track delivery. Sequence the roadmap so teams can distinguish immediate actions from longer-term ambitions.
What takes shape
KPIs, phased targets and an implementation roadmapPolicies in practice
A policy should help people understand what is expected and where responsibility sits. Its value depends on the connection with the way the business operates.
Review the policies and practices already in place. Focus new or revised policies on the material issues, responsibilities and gaps the programme needs to address.
Make the scope and expectations understandable to the teams responsible for applying them. Connect policy intent with roles, processes and implementation needs.
Review proposed commitments with management and the relevant functions. Align the policy direction with implementation priorities, governance and the evidence needed to track progress.
The starting point
Build on the assessment findings, existing policies and management priorities. The policy framework should reflect the organisation’s material issues and implementation needs.

Following maturity and materiality assessments, Vogabe developed a sustainability strategy that connected material topics with measures, department owners and target horizons.
Sustainability strategy roadmap
The framework gives each KPI a department owner and phased targets. It makes the intended direction and the responsibilities for subsequent work visible together.
The roadmap defines the programme and its intended progress; delivery is assessed through subsequent implementation and review.
