Maatschappelijk Verantwoord Ondernemen (MVO)

Service > Van rapportage naar strategie

Through targeted CSR consulting, Except helps companies think deeply about how they can best contribute to a healthy, functioning, and sustainable society.

Thoughtful  CSR  plans are increasingly considered a basic requirement of international business practice. A good  CSR  plan is much more than a marketing tool; it can actually help businesses better prepare themselves for the future.

Except helps companies strategically analyze their role in society, helping with everything from goal setting to internal integration to writing up  CSR  reports.

Standards

In order to compare CSR reports, international standards like the GRI are of vital importance. However, just complying to the standards misses a great advtantage of a more strategic approach. If done right, a CSR trajectory is not just a communication from the company to the outside world, but a strategic tool to also collect vital information about stakeholders and long term development possibilities. We help provide these insights and built up to more valuable uses of CSR reporting.

We offer various services associated with corporate social responsibility. Among these are:

  • Stakeholder analysis
  • Facility Audits
  • Carbon assessment
  • CSR standards compliance
  • System mapping
  • Business strategy

Contact us to find out more about our custom CSR trajectories.

Wesleyan University Teaching Museum

Sustainability through flexibility

The museum has been designed for longevity, with a possible life span of over hundreds of years. Its main quality is its ability to change function over time while remaining a high quality environment for a variety of purposes. It’s flexible, exciting and features solid passive energy systems that continue to work through the ages.
