FRACTIONAL SUSTAINABILITY LEADERSHIP

You may not be ready to hire a full-time sustainability position or Chief Sustainability Officer, but you want the strategic leadership and operational expertise of an experienced sustainability leader. One Small Step can bridge the gap and provide the expertise you need, on a part-time and flexible basis, and at a fraction of the cost of a full-time role. We partner closely with your teams to drive programs forward and deliver on your sustainability commitments.

SUSTAINABILITY & ESG STRATEGY

Defining your sustainability ambition and discerning the material ESG topics to manage is a critical first step. Through a materiality assessment, we delve into ESG and identify what is relevant to you and your stakeholders. We review your ESG-related initiatives, unveiling opportunities to bridge gaps and enhance existing programs. We also provide a roadmap for improvement, a set of metrics for monitoring progress and a governance model for internal management.

Environmental Sustainability

While many companies have a foundation of environmental compliance, vital areas such as climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, energy, water, and waste often remain unaddressed. One Small Step can help develop a strategy to address your environmental footprint across operations, products, and/or supply chain. Our services span carbon accounting, data management systems, goal setting, and decarbonization measures. We can also assume an active leadership role in ongoing program management, driving progress while you focus on your core business services.

Sustainability Reporting

Being transparent and authentically communicating your sustainability journey is vital for engaging your diverse stakeholders. One Small Step can lead the development of your sustainability report to capture the essence of your initiatives and can assist in responding to investor and customer disclosure requests. We draw upon industry standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and others, and prepare you for the evolving landscape of voluntary and regulated disclosure.
