XVII – MAKE IT MATTER
Circular business development that secures the future.
At the right time, with the right action
From strategy to a scalable business.
Circular business development requires different approaches depending on where you are in the process. We guide you from ambition to operational decisions, from idea to profitable business, and from sounding board to decision-making support.
When the strategy needs to be put into practice, not just approved.
We develop a circular strategy that provides direction. Not a separate sustainability strategy, but an integral part of your business strategy. Grounded in risks, opportunities and regulatory frameworks. A strategy that management, R&D and procurement can act upon.
When extending the life of your product becomes your business.
We develop buy-back, rental and refurbishment models that allow you to retain the value of your products throughout their entire lifecycle. Otherwise, it’s a third party or a competitor who stands to gain.
When sustainability, regulations and business interests are pulling in different directions.
Coaching for management and the board on strategic decisions, customer engagement and regulatory frameworks. The basis for decision-making must be sound; we fine-tune it before the strategy is finalised.
When sustainability work needs to be done, not just planned.
We step in as your sustainability function – whether on an interim basis, for a specific project or to provide ad-hoc support. CSRD and VSME work, supply chain mapping, materiality analysis or a temporary sustainability manager. Not as an external supplier, but as part of your team.

From an unsustainable to a circular business model in mobility
Volvofinans Bank faced a strategic challenge: its business model in the mobility sector was unsustainable in the long term. The bank had set out a vision and climate targets, but it was unclear how these targets were to be achieved, which caused concern within the organisation.
