In a rapidly changing world, sustainability is now an indispensable part of any successful corporate strategy.

It not only determines long-term success, but also the competitiveness of companies in a global market that is increasingly focussing on environmental responsibility, social justice and responsible corporate governance.

Why are these three pillars of sustainability so important today?

Companies are facing growing challenges: Resource scarcity, stricter regulations, rising consumer and investor expectations of responsible behaviour. Sustainability has long been more than just a trend. It is a strategy for reducing risk, a lever for growth and a key driver of innovation. By integrating sustainability, companies can not only adapt to changing market requirements, but also take advantage of new business opportunities and strengthen their resilience.

WHY are we focussing on sustainability?

We firmly believe that companies that take responsibility for their environmental and social impact are more successful and resilient in the long term. Sustainability offers the opportunity not only to increase profits, but also to have a positive impact on society and the environment.

We are also convinced that sustainable corporate success is based on innovation, evidence-based decision-making and excellence in execution. By helping companies to align their strategies, structures and competences for the future, we not only promote economic success, but also a responsible and resilient business culture.

WHAT does sustainability mean for the STRIMgroup?

For us, sustainability is not a separate project, but a central component of our portfolio:

  • Strategy development and strategy execution: Sustainability is embedded as an integral part in every corporate strategy. Whether it is about opening up new markets or optimizing existing business models – sustainability goals are directly linked to the corporate vision and operational planning.
  • Turnaround management and restructuring: Sustainability plays a key role in the realignment of companies in times of crisis. We support our clients in making their processes more resource-efficient, organising their supply chains more sustainably and at the same time increasing their competitiveness.
  • Strategic workforce planning and people analytics: Our data-driven approaches to workforce planning integrate sustainability competences and ESG criteria to secure capabilities that are critical to success. We help companies to attract and develop talent that brings both technological and sustainable innovation to the table.
  • HR strategy and talent management: Sustainability in HR strategy means, above all, anchoring the right values in the company and creating a culture of responsibility. We develop strategies to promote diversity, social responsibility and employee retention through sustainable practices. This is part of a so-called triple transformation. The aim is to align HR structures with digital, sustainable and organizational change processes.
  • HR reporting: The path began with the social balance sheet, which made fundamental social aspects in companies measurable. This was followed by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) with more comprehensive ESG standards, HCR10 and DIN ISO 30414. Since 2023, the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) have been mandatory to ensure ESG transparency in companies. The S component includes the ESRS S1-4 standards, which focus on social sustainability.

HOW do we integrate sustainability?

We favour an approach that is holistic and evidence-based:

  • Holistic: We develop comprehensive strategies that combine environmental and social goals with economic success factors and support our clients during implementation – right up to reporting. We also support our clients in building a corporate culture based on responsibility, innovation and long-term success;
  • evidence-based: Our solutios, which we develop and implement together with clients, are based on sound analyses and data-based decisions.

We look forward to joining you on the path to a more sustainable future!
