October ’23 Newsletter

By Alisa Smirnova

It’s incredible to see our community growing so rapidly. We now have over 1,000 members making the Future-Fit reach even wider. We would love to see the Changemaker Community space used regularly by everyone to share news, stories and case studies, as well as troubleshoot the Benchmark and ask questions. (The harder the better!)

Our community is made up of everyone from experienced Benchmark users who have been applying Future-Fit thinking to their work for years, through to individuals looking at the Benchmark with fresh eyes, all seeking to drive transformational business change.

Everyone is welcome here, so please share your thoughts and get those conversations flowing.

Viessmann Report

We are so excited to see Viessmann release its first sustainability report built around Future-Fit. It is a superb demonstration of what it means to truly embed a meaningful sustainability strategy into the heart of a company, as well as showing how the Benchmark facilitates deep strategic thinking, planning and reporting.

We highly recommend giving it a read: https://www.viessmann.family/en/newsroom/sustainability/viessmann-group-launches-sustainability-report.html?sf182798602=1

Huge congratulations to our Accredited Advisors Nordic Sustainability for helping to guide the company on this journey. Watch this space for some webinars very soon.

CSRD and Future-Fit

Future-Fit and a few of our partners based in the EU (Better EnergyDanske BankGRUUND and Nordic Sustainability) are writing a white paper to show how the Benchmark can provide significant help and insight (particularly with regard to material impact risks) for companies who must comply with upcoming CSRD requirements.

We should have the first draft complete by the end of the year / beginning of 2024. We already have a list of all members wishing to provide feedback and comments on the first draft, but if you would also like to be involved please send an email to alisa@futurefitbusiness.org.
