Step 2 - Structure and Strategy

Every strategy needs a structure. We recommend that you organize an internal team to identify your company’s biggest environmental challenges. Understanding your main challenges is an important first step in creating a constructive and profitable environmental strategy.

Creating a list or a matrix where you rank and prioritize your challenges based on your current understanding. You also need to map these challenges in your organization so that each individual has clear responsabilities going forward.

The Four most common challenges facing companies are the following:

1. Energy and related greenhouse emissions
2. Waste
3. Chemicals
4. Resource utilisation / optimisation

The identified challenges will be the base for measuring and understanding your Ecological Footprint.
