Problem

Turn sustainability commitments into a clear account of the business’s impacts and priorities.

Context

A vegan doughnut company preparing its first voluntary sustainability report.

My approach

I led the project, facilitated a leadership workshop, conducted stakeholder research, and developed the report’s structure and writing. We used Doughnut Economics, a materiality survey and GRI Standards to connect environmental and social questions with the business.

Results

The report was published online in September 2023. The team gained a clearer understanding of the data it needed and practical steps towards its goals. Annual reporting did not continue in the short term because of internal constraints.
