ENVable Topics
Read about the key topics that form the basis of a business resilience strategy. ENVable assesses your business sustainability practices to help your business become future ready.
Strategic Ambition
Where is your business heading, and does everyone know it? Strategic Ambition looks at how clearly your long-term goals, purpose and direction are set, and whether they actually shape your governance, investment and decisions. It's the foundation of a credible sustainability strategy, and the starting point for building sustainable business practices into how you run things every day.
Just Transition
A just transition means moving towards a greener economy without leaving people behind. This topic looks at how fairly you manage change, from the impact on your workforce and vulnerable groups to your wider community, and how prepared your business is. If you're wondering what a just transition for business looks like in practice, this is where you find out.
Material Impacts
Which issues matter most to your business, and to the world around it? Material Impacts helps you identify, prioritise and manage your environmental, social and financial risks and opportunities. It covers materiality assessment, stakeholder input and double materiality assessment, explained without the jargon.
Decarbonisation
Cutting emissions starts with knowing where they come from. Decarbonisation covers measuring your emissions, setting targets and planning your route across operations and supply chain. It gives you a practical starting point for business decarbonisation and a realistic net zero plan for business, and shows how ready you are for the long-term climate transition.
Natural Environment
Your business depends on nature more than you might think. Natural Environment looks at how you affect ecosystems, biodiversity, water, waste and resources, and the nature-related risks that come with them. It shows how well you understand and manage your impacts, and where simple changes to your sustainable business practices could make a real difference.
Social Value
Social value is the good your business does for employees, communities, customers, suppliers and wider society. This topic looks at fairness, inclusion, wellbeing and how you measure your contribution. It also helps with social value in procurement, which matters if you want to win contracts, and it's just as relevant for social value for small business owners as for the big players.
Future Readiness
How well would your business cope with what's coming next? Future Readiness looks at your ability to adapt to environmental, social, economic and technological change, from skills and innovation to governance and flexibility. It's the practical side of business resilience and sustainability risk management, helping you become a truly future ready business.
Effective Communication
Good sustainability work only counts if people can see it and trust it. Effective Communication looks at how you engage employees, customers, suppliers and communities, including transparency, responsible marketing and reporting. It helps you build a clear sustainability communication strategy, avoid greenwashing, and makes sustainability reporting for SMEs far less daunting.
