Sustainability Assessment Services

Drawing on our experience of environmental management and systems assessments, EuGeos can provide your organisation with a structured mechanism for conducting successfully this multi-dimensional evaluation.

Assessing the relative sustainability of a new product or other business development poses new challenges compared to assessing its potential financial contribution or environmental impact. While the three pillars (environmental, social and economic) of sustainability must always be considered, the exact set of relevant issues varies from case to case. The sheer number of issues that can be included demands that some selectivity be applied, with careful consideration, if assessments are to be manageable in scale; while the wide diversity of those issues calls for creativity in devising metrics that can be deployed in a meaningful and useful way.

At EuGeos, we draw on a variety of tools - including LCA techniques, risk assessments, scoring systems and multi-criteria decision analysis - to tailor sustainability assessment methods to clients’ needs. We choose from qualitative, semi-quantitative or quantitative methods to fit your circumstances: qualitative and semi-quantitative methods being quicker to apply and easier to communicate, while fully-quantitative evaluations allow closer monitoring of progress. Use of sophisticated data-visualisation tools facilitates communication with stakeholders where this is a key requirement.

There is no single model of sustainability, nor is there a unique “right way” of evaluating sustainability. At EuGeos, we ensure that the approach you take to assess your own performance is consistent, transparent, aligned with external pressures and internal policies - and adds value as a performance measurement tool.
