OUR SERVICES
“A goal without a plan is just a wish.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
For many organisations, the development of a strategy is the first step in their sustainability journey. A good strategy provides a roadmap that can guide activity over many years, setting out the organisation’s vision for sustainability, its over-arching objectives, and priority activities, as well as articulating how success will be measured.
Our strategy services are therefore at the very heart of what we do at Edge. We work with clients to ensure that their strategies – whether they are the first they have ever created, or the latest update – are designed to deliver real, long-term value and align with wider business goals. Our process brings together social and environmental issues, and is always founded on detailed technical analysis to identify what really matters. We also put significant emphasis on engaging with client teams, co-designing strategies and developing pragmatic action plans to ensure that goodwill and enthusiasm is converted into real, lasting change.
