LifeGate proposes a gradual approach of progressive awareness by companies regarding their sustainability positioning. We define a path of empowerment that sees collaboration between the team of LifeGate experts and consultants and partner companies, whether they are SMEs or medium-large organizations.
It's not just about doing the right things, it's about doing them the right way.
The sustainability assessment is a systematic analysis of the company’s assets, management methods and projects already implemented on sustainability issues.
It aims to enhance ongoing social and environmental initiatives; quantify the economic, social, and environmental impacts produced by the company; identify strengths and weaknesses, also with respect to the reference context; identify areas for potential improvement.
Stakeholders’ interests can be positively or negatively influenced by an organization’s activities. Their involvement helps the company understand their concerns and expectations, and consequently manage their related impacts.
Stakeholders can be involved in identifying and evaluating the significance of a company’s current and potential impacts and priorities through different methods, starting from simple online questionnaires to more advanced methods such as multi-stakeholder tables.
The sustainability strategic plan identifies a series of specific activities, projects, and initiatives to be carried out to generate a common benefit (shared value) through short, medium, or long-term objectives.
The plan defines the qualitative/quantitative targets and actions to be implemented to achieve them; the sets of indicators to be monitored to evaluate the improvement of sustainability performance, consistently with the company’s development directions and positioning.
At the community level, climate reporting obligations will increasingly be incentivized to demonstrate compliance with the Paris Agreement and the European Climate Law. To address climate risks and contribute to collective efforts to mitigate global warming, companies have begun adopting climate strategies.
The necessary steps are: understanding one’s level of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, identifying the actions necessary to reduce one’s carbon footprint, analyzing business opportunities related to different reduction scenarios, and developing an action plan to achieve specific objectives. The process of defining a climate strategy involves all stakeholders, extending responsibility throughout the value chain and becoming a fundamental driver of transparency, efficiency, and leadership for companies.
The sustainability path necessarily involves constant monitoring and evaluation of the results obtained. Specific issues and initiatives are explored, to be implemented over time, as well as updates on the evolution of the reference context that may entail growth opportunities for companies.
LifeGate offers continuous consulting services, developing ad hoc projects with specific and technical support for the implementation of structured activities, such as supply chain analysis, organization carbon footprint study, product life cycle assessment, and support for obtaining certifications (EPD, BCorp, etc.).
The sustainability report is a voluntary reporting and communication tool that the company can prepare to account for stakeholders of the impacts that the organization and business activities generate on the economic system, the environment, and society.
It highlights the methods and initiatives undertaken to mitigate negative impacts, amplify positive impacts, and achieve improvement objectives, increasing transparency and credibility of the company.
