In today’s business landscape, sustainability isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a necessity. But how do you know if your company is ready (or overdue) for a formal sustainability strategy? Here are five clear signs:

You’re facing new regulatory pressure

From CSRD in the EU to increasing ESG requirements from investors, the rules are changing fast. If you find yourself scrambling to meet new compliance standards, it’s time to put a proactive plan in place.

Your sustainability efforts are siloed

Maybe your operations team is reducing waste, while your procurement team is unaware of supplier ESG risks. Without alignment, even good initiatives can fall short.

You rely heavily on external consultants

Hiring sustainability experts is helpful—but it’s expensive and often not scalable. If your team depends entirely on consultants for insights, you need a more sustainable (pun intended) solution.

You’re missing opportunities for cost savings

Sustainability isn’t just about regulation—it’s also about efficiency. Businesses with strong sustainability strategies often reduce costs through energy savings, smarter sourcing, and less waste.

You’ve made commitments, but progress is unclear

You’ve set targets. Maybe even published a sustainability statement. But if you can’t measure real progress or connect actions to results, it’s time to get strategic.
