Sustainabilty & Resilience
Sustainability
The future is sustainable. We help clients transform their business, creating more resilient and valuable companies and shaping a more sustainable future for all.
Challenges
We provide a range of sustainability-related services focusing on climate change, sustainable finance and circular economy. Our team delivers sustainability and climate-led business strategies, climate risk assessments and planning, ESG reporting and assurance, responsible supply chain management, human rights assessments, climate accounting, sustainable reputation management, and much more.
- Climate: Insufficient handling of climate issues due to a more direct and visible physical impact, continuous flow of announcements from regulators, banks and investors, and a growing number of organisations committed to net-zero. Clients need support understanding their risk exposure, scenario planning and stress testing, and developing climate-led strategies and innovation, low-carbon operating models and climate-related analytics and reporting.
- Sustainable Supply Chain: Many organisations experience a need for developing more responsible and resilient supply chains due to the risk of climate-related disruptions, an increasing market demand for transparency, and ethical sourcing, and for protecting human and labor rights, environmental stewardship, and beyond. Clients need support understanding risks; improving supplier engagement/monitoring/performance, product traceability, and assurance; and designing and implementing new, more sustainability-based value chains and reporting.
- ESG Integration and Disclosure: Many organisations are faced with the need for better ESG integration, reporting, and disclosure, as it relates to corporate purpose, full integration in lending, corporate and investment activities, and compliance. Clients need support with data integration, internal and external assurance and net carbon statements.

Ensure a responsible supply chain
Due to a variety of internal and external factors, businesses are facing an urgent need to transform their supply chain demonstrating responsibility. We help clients redesign their entire supply chain eco system, leveraging data, technology, partnership models, operational excellence, and best practice governance allowing them to act and communicate responsibly throughout their supply chain. Our solutions span the entire value chain of a product, from raw materials to the finished goods and end of life. We help clients to understand how to identify, mitigate, and adapt to a wide range of risks in their value chains. It is not just about managing risk – it is also about getting the benefit of better value chain management.
Increased focus on data ethics
Data ethics is a rapidly growing agenda. Starting from 2020, larger companies in Denmark (reporting class C and D) are required by law to disclouse their data ethics policy as part of their annual report. This means that companies going forward must be able to explain how they work to ensure data ethics. Here Deloitte can assist clients with the development of a data ethics policy, as well as the development and implementation of supporting activities.
