Challenges to overcome
Clarity of Accountability
Clear accountability is required for both the sustainability strategy that has been developed for each material issue, and for each of the concrete tasks in the organisation’s action plan. Where failings are identified it is important to implement improvements to ensure accountability
Keeping on top of emerging issues
The key sustainability issues affecting your organisation should be identified as the first step of your strategic approach. It is important to recognise however that the relevance of sustainability issues to your organisation is not static. Sustainability drivers can cause new issues to become material to your organisation, as can any changes within your organisation’s operations. It is therefore vital to ensure that monitoring picks up emerging issues, as well as previously identified ones.
