At Wavestone, we believe consulting should not only drive performance, it must also deliver positive and tangible impacts. That’s why we’ve developed our Responsible Consulting approach, embedding sustainability directly into every client project we undertake.
Join us on our path to sustainability:
Our method: Alert and recommend
To systematically address sustainability issues, we’ve structured our approach around two clear and practical steps:
- Alert: We proactively identify and communicate any potential sustainability risks associated with our clients’ projects.
- Recommend: We provide practical and actionable recommendations to effectively manage or mitigate these risks.
The principles guiding this approach are detailed in our Responsible Consulting charter.
Empowering our teams with resources, training, and expertise
To ensure our commitment translates into concrete outcomes, we equip all our teams with extensive resources, structured training, and expert support:
- Dedicated employee training: A mandatory two-hour training covering our Responsible Consulting charter and priority areas, complemented by ongoing educational initiatives such as Climate Fresco workshops and sustainability-focused micro-learning modules.
- Expert network and practical tools: A dedicated network of over 170 sustainability specialists provides strategic guidance and valuable insights, supported by practical tools and proven methodologies, such as carbon footprint calculators and eco-design best practices.
Responsible Consulting in action: real-world client examples
Our Responsible Consulting approach delivers real results. Here are some examples of recent successes:
Retail
Evaluating different transport scenarios for a major retailer allowed us to recommend a solution cutting carbon emissions by 800 tons of CO₂.
Luxury
For a global luxury brand, we identified and recommended eight concrete actions to significantly enhance digital accessibility during intranet redesign.
Transportation
During the implementation of a new CRM system, we alerted a leading transport company to data compliance issues and provided actionable recommendations to ensure compliant data protection.
