Stratos helps its clients identify and mitigate the environmental, social and economic risks that can limit the achievement of organizational objectives. Using risk management tools, we also identify opportunities and show clients their potential to drive growth and create goodwill by addressing risks and actively pursuing sustainability. 

Stratos has experience and expertise in designing management systems – policies, procedures and management frameworks – that help ensure that our clients achieve their sustainability objectives. The systems that Stratos develops with its clients also lay the foundation for continually improving an organization’s sustainability performance, and for reviewing performance in terms of effectiveness and alignment with the organization’s larger strategic goals.

Setting goals is one thing. Achieving them is another. Stratos works with clients to put in place performance management systems, ranging from measurement frameworks to performance reporting, that are suited to their organization’s culture and needs, and designed to ensure that their goals are met, consistently and efficiently.

It takes knowledge and commitment to help an organization embrace sustainability, and we’ve found that change is most successful when it is led from within. Whether it is broad-based or issue-focused, Stratos provides customized training that helps establish a culture of sustainability inside our clients’ organizations, and gives their staff the skills and understanding they need to drive and maintain improved sustainability performance.

Sustainability is a mainstream issue of vital importance to a diverse range of stakeholder groups. Whether an organization is public or private, it needs the support of its stakeholders to succeed. Stratos offers its clients expertise in identifying stakeholders, understanding their interests and assessing and improving stakeholder engagement. We provide our clients with the understanding they need to integrate stakeholder interests into their organizational strategies.

To a growing number of key audiences, including regulators, customers, investors and employees, what an organization does in terms of sustainability has become as important as its financial results. Effective sustainability communication can improve relationships with stakeholders and build stakeholder support for an organization’s objectives, while also helping it secure and maintain its social licence to operate. Stratos works with clients to identify the issues that matter to them and their stakeholders, assess their performance and communicate and report on performance in a clear, credible and compelling way. For more information, see our section on Corporate Sustainability Reporting.
