Companies want to know how future-ready they are. To find answers, many turn to quick assessments. Some focus on sustainability and CSRD, while others evaluate processes and quality management.
The problem: These checks often run in parallel, without delivering a complete picture.
Why integrated checks are more effective
A sustainability check, like those offered by PwC, KPMG, or DEKRA, helps identify which ESRS requirements are already met. But it often fails to show: How are sustainability requirements actually embedded in leadership, operations, and daily practice?
Conversely, quality management (QM) checks, such as those from DGQ or TÜV, review processes, audits, and documentation. But they usually ignore the ESG perspective and long-term sustainability goals.
Integrated checks bring sustainability and quality together in one strategy-based framework. They give organizations:
- A realistic view of transformation maturity,
- Visibility into untapped synergies,
- Clear, actionable next steps.
In short: Integrated assessments save time, reduce redundancies, and focus on what truly matters.
There are well-known frameworks—like the EFQM model with ESG integration or combined ESG-QM audits from major providers.
But they’re often:
- overly complex,
- highly formalized,
- designed for large enterprises
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) need faster, leaner, and more practical tools.
STRIM Quick Check: Insight in just 2 hours
The STRIM Quick Check is built specifically for SMEs and delivers strategic insight in just two hours. It’s fast, simple, and focused.
What sets it apart?
- It’s practical, not theoretical.
- It’s focused, not overloaded.
- It’s integrated, not fragmented.
You will find out at a glance: Where do we currently stand? What are the risks and opportunities? What is the next logical and effective step?
What to expect: A simple, efficient process
The Quick Check is a two-hour online workshop, usually conducted via Microsoft Teams. Together, we explore three key questions:
- How prepared are you for CSRD, ESRS, and VSME requirements?
- How well does your quality management support sustainability goals?
- Where are your blind spots—and where is your greatest potential?
Instead of lengthy questionnaires, we use structured dialogue and proven STRIM tools:
- the ESG maturity assessment,
- the 5 Whys method combined with the Ishikawa diagram, and
- the Sustainability Balanced Scorecard (SBSC) as a strategic framework.
A few days later, you receive a compact results report – clearly showing your maturity level, the biggest levers for improvement, and targeted next steps.
Who the STRIM Quick Check is designed for
The Quick Check is ideal for organizations that want to assess their position quickly and effectively—without long lead times or costly consulting projects. It’s especially valuable for:
- Executives and decision-makers,
- ESG and sustainability officers,
- Quality and compliance managers,
- HR leaders,
- SMEs, public institutions, social sector organizations, and industrial firms.
These are the questions we often hear from our clients:
- “How well are we really prepared for CSRD and VSME – especially in HR or quality management?”
- “How can we meaningfully connect sustainability and quality?”
- “What is our next step – without monthhs of preparataion of large-scale projects?”
We answer these questions clearly, honestly, and with a strong focus on practical implementation. After the session, many participants say: “Now we finally have a clear picture and a direction that truly fits us.”
