Center for Sustainability Management

Sustainability – Management System of the Future

From legal compliance to product innovation, over leadership or branding: everything is influenced by Sustainability Management. This is not about getting media coverage for your good actions but about integrating customers and environment as well as your own financial position into your business strategy. Only with this holistic approach - entirely in the spirit of the St. Gallen Management doctrine - visions, strategies, and objectives can be defined and implemented based on your values. Many corporate scandals could have been avoided if ESG and CSR would have been involved in the decision-making process. And many innovations and opportunities have not yet been perceived because we always think in the same patterns and are guided by only a few parameters, while we should rather equally incorporate the company, its stakeholders, and its environment into the business case.

Besides the obvious risk assessment using Sustainability Management Systems and the mentioned exploiting of opportunities, ESG/CSR is becoming increasingly relevant in terms of compliance. With the latest EU directive on "Non-Financial Reporting", companies of a certain size are obliged to report on their position regarding the society and the environment - if possible, in accordance with the ISO 26000, the global standard for social responsibility. In addition, more and more exchange supervisory authorities are demanding ESG and CSR reports and investment funds are starting to rate ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) higher in their investment strategies. The application fields are manifold, ranging from the aforementioned reports to sustainability labels for products, which should encourage customers to buy.

Without a holistic approach to business issues, no company can gain a sustainable profit. Sustainability is what it is all about: economic sustainability as well as social and environmental sustainability. The offered Sustainability Management Concept offers an implementation-oriented management tool that can significantly influence and direct your business strategy - if it is applied correctly and lived by.
