Academy for strategic sustainability

Empowering SMEs for sustainability

The crucial role of SMEs in sustainability

SMEs serve as the economy's backbone and play a crucial role in the value chains of major companies. Their role in adopting sustainable practices is therefore pivotal, both for driving economic prosperity and advancing the broader sustainability agenda. Limited resources can limit SMEs navigate the transition effectively. This is where FutureWise Partners steps in.

Bridging the gap: accelerators for sustainable transitions

In partnership with financial institutions, corporations and municipalities, we co- design Sustainability Academies, designed to equip companies (often suppliers of larger companies) with the tools and knowledge they need to create their own sustainability roadmaps and set actionable objectives. 

Each cohort comprises 10-15 SMEs, all represented by their top executives to signify commitment and ensure successful execution.

Creating shared value: who gains from sustainable transitions?

Local governments and municipalities

Support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in adopting sustainable practices to strengthen their economic resilience in the long run.

Financial institutions

Enhance the quality and reliability of sustainability data from clients, for better risk assessment and ensuring that portfolios align with environmental objectives.

Corporate supply chains

Strengthen supplier capacity to meet sustainability standards, ensuring better data quality and a clear understanding of sustainability-related risks within the value chain.

Sustainability Working Groups

Setting the Standards

We initiate and engage in specialised working groups to clarify sustainability's complexities while contributing to policy and standard development.

ESG Knowledge Lab

Initiated in collaboration with the BMW Foundation Responsible Leaders Network, the ESG Knowledge Lab is a members-only platform to enable knowledge sharing, research, and action towards sustainable collective action.

Spotlight Series

The Spotlight Series are quarterly online sessions hosted by subject-matter experts. They delve into specific ESG issues, facilitating deep discussions and knowledge exchange. Each series culminates in participant summaries, thereby documenting the process and promoting the dissemination of critical insights.

SDG4 Business Task Force

FutureWise Partners is participating as observers in the SDG4Business Task Force, an initiative of the UN. Working alongside global organisations like UNIDO and the World Economic Forum, the aim of this initiative is to broaden SMEs' access to essential training modules.

Thought leadership and engagement

Amplifying our sustainable voice

By participating in events, we actively shape and stay abreast of the latest sustainability trends, ensuring our strategies are informed and influential.

Purposeful presence

Committing time and resources to attend leading events is crucial for collaboration and cross-pollinating ideas and partnerships. We carefully choose events that align with our mission and offer substantial opportunities to amplify our impact and fast-track sustainable progress.

Active engagement

Each event is a chance to embrace new perspectives, stay abreast of emerging trends, and intertwine our journey with the unfolding narrative of global sustainability. These experiences enrich our understanding and invigorate our purpose, reinforcing the vital role of collective wisdom in our quest for change.

Amplify impact

Beyond networking, we step into the spotlight with intent. By sharing our insights on the stage, we extend our reach, challenging ourselves and others to hasten the sustainable transition. It's not merely about being seen; it's about being impactful and driving the conversation forward.

Ecosystem Catalysts

Facilitating sustainable investments

We connect start-ups with investors through our wide network, facilitating meaningful partnerships.

Accelerating innovation

Startups in the sustainability space are pivotal for the green economy transition, but scaling up is a significant hurdle. They need capital to grow, and while the innovations are ready, access to financial resources is often challenging.

Investor insight

Venture Capitalists and Private Equity firms are aware that their investments have the power to accelerate the transition to sustainability. Finding the right startups and comprehending their full potential from a sustainability perspective can be challenging without the right connections and understanding of the sector.

Strategic connections

We are positioned at the nexus of technology and capital, offering a robust network and keen insight into sustainable ventures. We facilitate swift and strategic introductions, empowering investors and startups to push the boundaries of innovation and market readiness.
