Strategy
Connecting corporate strategy and sustainability
Developing sustainable corporate strategies is what we do, this is what lies at the core of our consultancy services. We focus on aligning your firm’s sustainability goals with its key material topics – for a creative and viable solution. Effective corporate sustainability is purposeful and feasible – based on measurable impact and clearly defined goals. :response translates your firm’s sustainability vision into a concrete managerial approach marked with progress indicators based on established standards (Global Reporting Initiative, Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitskodex, ISO 26000).
Many companies and organisations aren’t lacking in ideas: their collective challenge is one of implementation – by carrying out change processes as a strategic initiative or as a powerful organisational unit. A good strategy is understood and incorporated: we help you to develop a convincing strategy.
Identifying the best approach to sustainability management involves careful analysis, evaluation and impact measurement. We support you and your team in this process by incorporating innovative problem-solving methods such as Design-Thinking and Theory U.
We build sustainability that lasts.

Management
Living sustainability, empowering people
Shaping and living sustainability
Even the most brilliant corporate strategy is not effective unless it has been put into practice. We believe implementation to be central to the strategic process. This is where intentions are transformed into results. In recent years, increasing numbers of industry-leading managers have thought about how to steer their organisations more effectively towards a sustainable practice. We take pride in having been able to provide many of them with our long-standing expertise.
Together with our clients we create lean management structures, implement their goals and evaluate their KPIs. We also support our clients in their data collection and data analysis, so that they can determine whether their strategy is truly effective.
Empowering people and organisations
Successful organisations allow strategy, structure and culture to interlock meaningfully and encourage participatory action at the individual and group level. Transformation means action. We stand by your organisation as it moves towards sustainability, health, and innovation, allowing you to achieve a meaningful effect even with limited resources.
We develop leadership, sustainability and CSR competency in managerial and executive positions.
We develop outstanding communication practices – at a time when everyone wants to be sustainable.

Communication
Benefiting from collaborative processes
Communication establishes trust and transparency
An effective sustainability initiative requires solid communication practices. Over the years our internal standards have met rising demands for transparency and diversity of perspective in order to provide our clients with unwavering reliability. As stakeholders’ and employees‘ expectations shift, companies‘ practices must do the same. Communication today is effective only if it is believable and consolidated by action.
Participation and Stakeholder Dialogue
:response utilizes a concept for effective participation gleaned from years of experience. Within it we define success as Shared Value Added – as seen from the point of view of both the organization and its stakeholders.
Sustainability reports and communication
Consumers, employees and clients, as well as investors, want to know exactly how individual companies are putting their economic, ecological and societal responsibility into practice. To this end we offer everything from Sustainability Reporting according to GRI- and DNK-as well as fully integrated Sustainability Reporting according to IIRC to Digital Reporting – based on the individual needs of our clients.
