As sustainability managers, it's easy to feel pulled in (too) many directions 🙈 That’s why we created a free, user-friendly tool to help you visually map your priorities (current and desired), and share them with your team. Give it a try and let us know how it goes! 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/e22hZidD Even with the best templates and frameworks, it can still be challenging to juggle all the priorities and impact areas effectively.

At LFCA, we believe sustainability is more than just “doing the right thing.” It’s about embracing a mindset of “competitive sustainability”—making sustainability goals a core part of our business strategy. That’s why our courses cover not just the technical side of sustainability, but also how to be a savvy business strategist. ♟️ One tool we love is Porter's Value Chain Mapping, along with our custom templates that frame sustainability requests in business-friendly language, helping everyone see the value right away.

This is a 📣shout-out📣 to one of our most insightful instructors & community members, Pia Sophie Schwanenberg. After beginning at Forto as an intern 3.5 years ago, Pia has worked her way up to Senior Sustainability Project Manager - and built a powerful internal sustainability movement along the way. She recently shared insights with our Strategic Sustainability Roadmapping course participants on how Forto built up their sustainability team, got others on board and started hitting their goals 🎯 The result is that Forto are now sustainability front-runners in their field 🏃♀️➡️ Here are some of Pia’s top tips: - Becoming a good communicator is key - developing great conversation skills, aligning with business values, language and goals and building compelling arguments will get you far! - Building a cross-departmental ambassador program is fundamental to fostering a great internal culture of sustainability, and in getting support for initiatives where needed - “Trust the Process - embrace the transformation, the chaos, and the pace. Take it day by day while staying focused on the goal.” Pia - your experiences as an accomplished sustainability practitioner are so inspiring and valuable for our community - thank you!
