What is a Sustainability Strategy?

Testimonials
Vanessa at AORA Solutions was fantastic to work with. She took our data and turned it into a clear, comprehensive report that proves exactly how much resources our product saves. Throughout the process, she was always responsive and delivered every stage of the project on time. This has given us the tangible data we needed to provide real confidence to our clients regarding our environmental impact, instead of just making claims, we now have the hard proof to back them up. We highly recommend working with her.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a sustainability strategy for growing businesses?
A sustainability strategy for an SME is a practical plan that identifies a business’s most important environmental, social, and governance impacts and sets clear actions, targets, and responsibilities to manage them. For SMEs, it focuses on material issues rather than complex corporate frameworks.
- Do UK SMEs need a sustainability strategy?
UK SMEs are not legally required to have a sustainability strategy, but many are expected to demonstrate sustainability performance by customers, investors, and supply chain partners. A sustainability strategy helps SMEs respond to ESG questionnaires, procurement requirements, and certification schemes such as B Corp.
- How long does it take to develop a sustainability strategy?
For most UK SMEs, a sustainability strategy typically takes 10 to 15 weeks to develop. This depends on the size of the business, data availability or stakeholder engagement and availability.
