Environmental Business Intelligence from the Madano Partnership

• Do you want a better understanding of how environmental issues can help your business?
• Are you feeling the heat when it comes to communicating your environmental credentials?
• Do you struggle to stay on top of environmental regulation and policy initiatives?
• Do you know your CRC from your COP?

For businesses, environmental management means not only balancing three priorities: people, planet and profitability, but ensuring we maximize the resources and opportunities at our disposal. The Madano Partnership understands how environmental sustainability is integral to an organization’s ongoing success and how it can give you a competitive advantage. 

With Madano’s help, these regulatory and policy developments can actually present forward thinking companies with opportunities to lead debates and secure competitive advantage through communication.

As a result of our experience, Madano has identified four products designed to equip your company with the tools it needs to stay one step ahead of the competition.

Environmental stakeholder auditing

Madano's environmental stakeholder auditing reports provide clients with the information they need to identify their key environmental stakeholders and the associated risks and opportunities that accompany them. Stakeholders may include policy makers, political interests, NGO's, regulatory bodies, think tanks and local authorities. Knowledge of these stakeholders and the associated anticipated trends and data surrounding climate change policy is fundamental to protecting corporate reputations.

The audit will aim to answer:

• Who are the key stakeholders, what do they want, what are their views?
• What is their interest in what you do?
• How influential is each stakeholder?
• Are there any policy or regulatory initiatives that could impact upon your ability to do business?
• Are there any stakeholder campaigns or initiatives about to start that could impact on you?
• Who are the main political proponents and detractors and how influential are they?
• What is the perception of your business today?
• What type of stakeholder engagement is right for you?

Environmental Leadership

Madano's Environmental Leadership provides access to and understanding of the key stakeholders in the broader environmental policy and planning landscape.

Environmental management education

By understanding the impact as well as the opportunities and risks of environmental issues, businesses can make decisions based on the very best evidence and are able to communicate a strong and coherent message to the outside world. Furthermore, engaging employees on environmental issues not only helps productivity but also improves resource efficiency and corporate responsibility. Recent research has also identified that companies that have a strong track record on the environment are seeing an increase in the quality of graduates and professionals joining them.

Madano understands how environmental sustainability is integral to an organisation’s ongoing success and how it can give competitive advantage. Our hugely experienced team has a deep understanding of the environmental agenda and can help your business to truly embed sustainable thinking into its strategic DNA by engaging its people - from the CEO and the Board and throughout your business. We offer two different but linked products designed to engage your people in the environmental agenda – The Sustainability Master Class and The Environmental Communication Workshop.

Environmental communications strategy

While the moral and ethical case for dealing with climate change has been made and is widely accepted – it is now time to acknowledge that being truly sustainable is also good for business.

The effects of climate change are, however, surrounded by an enormous amount of information which takes time and effort to understand. How this information is used is vital for future business success but can sometimes be put into the ‘too difficult box’ either until regulation has caught up with you or you have lost any potential advantage over your competitors.

Madano can develop a bespoke strategy to communicate your environmental credentials. This process is based on a robust and evidence based approach which will ensure you can’t be accused of green washing, but will help communicate your approach to sustainability issues in a balanced and proactive way to all forms of media.
