A strategy that stands up to scrutiny.
Not a separate sustainability strategy, but the direction for the entire business.
From ambition to operational decisions
A circular strategy is not a separate sustainability document. It is a plan for how you will manage raw material volatility, supplier exposure and regulatory pressure over the next ten years, integrated with your business strategy.
We develop the strategy in collaboration with management, R&D and procurement, ensuring it aligns with the product portfolio you are developing, the suppliers you choose and the business models you are pursuing.
We can help you when:

- Circularity is spread across R&D, procurement, the aftermarket and sustainability, with no clear ownership of the business benefits
- Your supply chains, raw materials, components or product ranges are subject to price volatility and geopolitical exposure
- The sustainability strategy has been approved, but has not yet been translated into an investment plan, supplier decisions or product portfolio development

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.
