Operationalizing Sustainability
Sustainability has a wide range of meanings for different stakeholders and organizations. Within an organization, improving sustainability can range from responding to global issues such as climate change to creating new products and operating in an efficient, compliant and responsible way.
Addressing environmental concerns and operating in a sustainable manner is becoming increasingly important to businesses as they adapt and contribute to the growing governmental and societal drive for sustainable development. Sustainable operations are also important in improving a business’ competitive advantage and in enhancing stakeholder relations.
Sustainable development is a broad, complex and multi-faceted concept. AIE helps clients cut through this complexity in order to understand key issues, set priorities, and take effective and meaningful action. The UN has defined seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which provide a global framework to be followed until 2030. Out of the 17 goals, AIE’s area of expertise aligns with the main priority areas in the Oil and Gas, Power Generation and Mining industry:
- Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy
- Goal 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure
- Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities
- Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production
- Goal 13: Climate action
AIE works with clients to:
- Build sustainability into strategy, policies and objectives taking into consideration the entire value chain of systems using the UN SDGs as a framework
- Identify sustainable development actions for clients based on regional, industry and business specific issues
