1) Model & Principles
Sustainability Leadership = Baseline × Governance × (Abatement + Circularity + Optionality)
- Baseline — clear inventory (Scopes 1–3) & materiality
- Governance — policies, controls, assurance, transparent reporting
- Abatement — cost/ton prioritized roadmap to targets
- Circularity — reduce, reuse, recycle; design for recovery
- Optionality — diversified energy, suppliers, routings, instruments
Informational only; not legal advice. Align with local/global standards per counsel.
2) Diagnostic Rubric (score 0–10)
Inventory & Data
- 0–2: No baseline; estimates only
- 3–4: Partial Scopes 1–2
- 5–6: Scopes 1–2 complete; key Scope 3 categories
- 7–8: Coverage >80%; quarterly updates; controls
- 9–10: Full coverage; third-party assurance
Targets & Roadmap
- 0–2: No targets
- 3–4: High-level ambition
- 5–6: Annual targets with initiatives
- 7–8: Cost/ton stack; funded plan
- 9–10: Science-based targets; audit-ready
Circularity & Waste
- 0–2: Landfill by default
- 3–4: Ad-hoc recycling
- 5–6: Programs in core sites
- 7–8: Design for recovery; vendor SLAs
- 9–10: Closed-loop partnerships
Governance & Reporting
- 0–2: No policy; no owner
- 3–4: Policy draft; spreadsheets
- 5–6: Controls, KPIs, annual report
- 7–8: Quarterly board dashboard
- 9–10: Assured report; continuous improvement
3) 12-Month Roadmap
Q1 — Baseline & Controls
- Inventory refresh (Scopes 1–2; material Scope 3)
- Emission factors & data owners assigned
- Governance policy & risk register
Q2 — Abatement Plan
- Cost/ton stack; prioritize low-cost wins
- Energy mix plan (RE, PPAs, efficiency)
- Waste & circularity pilots
Q3 — Scale & Supply Chain
- Supplier data & risk program
- Rollout logistics optimization
- Embed carbon pricing in deals
Q4 — Report & Assure
- External disclosure prepared
- Third-party assurance
- Next-year target & budget approved
4) 90-Day Sprint
Days 1–30
- Confirm owners & data sources
- Carbon baseline refresh
- Waste & energy quick wins shortlist
Days 31–60
- Run abatement pilots
- Supplier request for data (top 10)
- Embed carbon pass-through template
Days 61–90
- Scale pilots; fund top projects
- Draft report; board review
- Quarterly assurance prep
5) Operating System (weekly)
- Mon: metric check (tCO₂e, energy, waste, water)
- Wed: project stand-up (risks, blockers)
- Fri: summary to execs + next week plan
Make problems visible; fix in-process; document in SOPs.
6) Metrics That Matter
- Emissions (tCO₂e) — absolute & intensity
- Abated (tCO₂e/y) & €/t cost
- Energy mix (% RE) & intensity (kWh/unit)
- Waste to landfill (%) • Circularity (%)
- Supplier risk (weighted) & HHI
- Water use (m³) in stressed areas
7) Scripts & Templates
Supplier data request (email)
Subject: Request for GHG & ESG Data — {{Supplier}}
Hi {{Name}}, as part of our program we’re collecting activity data (energy, logistics, materials) and policies (environment, labor, ethics).
Please share {{list}} or a point of contact. We’ll align on formats and timelines. — {{Signature}}
Carbon price clause (proposal snippet)
Prices adjust by CarbonIntensity × ΔCarbonPrice × Pass-Through%.
Floor/Cap {{-x%}}/{{+y%}}; review quarterly with transparent indices.
8) Interactive Tools
HHI <1500 low, 1500–2500 moderate, >2500 high concentration.
9) Risks & Anti-Patterns
- Targets without a cost/ton plan
- Supplier concentration & opaque data
- Ignoring carbon price exposure in deals
- Landfill by default; no circular design
- Reporting before controls/assurance
10) Next Steps & CTA
Now: Run the tools (Carbon, Energy, Pass-Through, Circularity, Suppliers, TCFD).
Then: Pick one 30-day booster and set the weekly cadence.
