Building sustainable business models and brands

The challenge for today’s business is to understand nature as a supplier

Nature provides the raw materials upon which the global economy depends; but we are consuming more resources than nature can supply – and our population is rising, as is our rate of consumption.

You don’t have to be a believer in global warming to see the impact of volatile input costs on profits. Customers, investors and governments are increasingly interested in how companies adjust to new realities, and the risks and opportunities they face.

It isn’t “all about carbon”. It’s about water, land use, waste and pollutants. It’s about which raw materials are used and where they are sourced. And it’s about how those materials are extracted, processed and distributed.

Trucost provides the data, insight and tools that business needs to integrate nature into every day decision making; to optimise operations, supply chains and products in line with global resource availability; to deliver net benefits and to build sustainable business models and brands.
