The Responsible Unicorn

The Approach
To integrate sustainability into its strategy, your start-up will go through three key phases:

1. Awareness – Understanding sustainability challenges & opportunities in your industry 

2. Activation – Identifying business model improvements & impact potential 

3. Implementation – Taking action across the three ESG dimensions:

• Environmental: Reducing your carbon footprint and resource consumption

• Social: Building a responsible, diverse, and engaged company culture

• Governance: Ensuring ethical leadership and long-term resilience

This structured approach ensures sustainability is embedded, not just added on. In less than a week you'll have a clear understanding of where your start-up stands and where it can go.
