28
Getting Started, continued
• Understand your company’s goals, stakeholders, infrastructure and CO2 footprint
• How important is sustainability for your company brand and reputation?
• How are carbon emissions of the core business activities measured?
![Page 29: Gbta project icarus and csr update revised april 15 2013](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051209/54877fc5b4af9f8c0d8b5465/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Responsible Procurement
• Getting started with sustainability-related metrics
– Example RFP questions:
- What environmental programs does the company have in place?
- Can you provide reports on a regular basis that show the CO2 emissions directly linked to your services?
- What products/services can you provide with a smaller CO2
footprint?

“Double Delivery” / “Double Impact”/
“Extended Impact”
Think about how to add more value to the
client for the same amount of traveling,
e.g. by means of a “virtual client project
community” or virtual workshop follow up
etc*.
+ +
Double Destination
“Double Date” / “Double Destination”
If you have to travel, make sure you meet
one or more additional persons while you
are there. This will lead to more satisfied
clients, more prospects and leads, and
better leverage of our collective strength.
