Simon Harvey, Proxima
We use the Future-Fit Business Benchmark all the time in our work with large corporates to develop sustainability and impact strategies, even if those companies are not formally adopting the Benchmark. It's a powerful tool to check for gaps in strategy and reporting work, and a very valuable way of evaluating next steps for companies to make further progress. Being an Accredited Advisor gives us access to the evolving suite of Future-Fit tools and connects us to the amazingly talented and experienced network of Future-Fit practitioners around the world. The accreditation process offers a convenient and structured way to ensure new team members understand how to use the Benchmark in a practical way.
Harriet Vocking, Eco-Age
The Future-Fit Business Benchmark is woven into every part of our work at Eco-Age, from training team members to our newest international venture, The Renassiance Awards, where we showcase young emerging leaders. It is a powerful tool for assessing a business’s current approach to sustainability, building the client’s capability on value creation and systems thinking, and helping create a program of work that shifts the business towards true sustainability. The understandable business language of the benchmark is relatable to clients, from assistants to CEOs and we love being part of a community of changemakers all making a difference and creating a flourishing future.
Sven Beyersdorff, Nordic Sustainability
For us at Nordic Sustainability, Future-Fit is the leading standard of what good corporate sustainability performance looks like – and best methodology for us to make our clients’ performance visible and discussable with management. Becoming an Accredited Advisor was a no-brainer: we’ve been benefitting from the community resources and access to experts ever since.
