Many organisations incorporate sustainability as a key platform of business performance. They acknowledge that adopting a sustainability agenda will enhance their reputation, enable them to be recognised as socially responsible, and be licensed to operate from the community in which they located. This in turn brings improved shareholder value.

URS can help clients achieve these critical business drivers by aiding in performance evaluation through benchmarking, performance measurement and development of sustainability indicators, developing sustainability strategies through Governance reviews, policy alignment, business risk assessment and verification.

URS provides support in the area of sustainable supply chains by ensuring systems integration (for example safety, health, environment and community systems and their link to the company’s business systems). URS can help facilitate the process of change management, undertake training and strategic due diligence, devise climate change strategies, and help in providing methodologies for cleaner production and eco-efficiency.

URS can advise and support clients in their reputation management by helping identify stakeholders and their issues, building community relations and development, and corporate reporting and investor communications. We can also facilitate the actions needed to manage risk, develop opportunities, and improve performance of the economic, social and environmental dimensions of our client’s business activities.

We can tailor a service which will add value to our clients’ business, freeing up internal resources to focus on setting the company direction and business performance objectives.
