A healthy organisation is a sustainable one.
At Q5, we believe sustainability is an organisation’s ability to successfully balance social and environmental performance alongside financial performance, therefore profitably solving the problems of people and planet.
With the ever-growing need to respond to the climate and biodiversity emergencies and address our huge social challenges, pressures are growing from customers, employees, investors, governments and wider society for all organisations to think about their impact on the wider world. Sustainability is about creating value and opportunity for all stakeholders, not just shareholders, to ensure long term viability. It is something that needs to be understood as a journey and in many cases, a transformation opportunity, as it touches all parts of the organisation. Successful organisations have sustainability and longer-term thinking as cornerstones of their strategy and live and breathe this throughout the enterprise.
Purpose sets out why you exist as an organisation and the value you have to the world beyond making profit. Not only does it set up an organisation to be impactful in society today and into the future, being purpose-driven offers its employees inspiration, a sense of belonging and an opportunity to connect their personal purpose with that of the organisation they work for.
We work with organisations to both redefine their purpose and embed it across all they do to ensure buy-in and engagement across the organisation. We make purpose matter.
Much of the work we do with the third sector through our “Pop-Up” consulting offering also focuses on purpose, ambition and sustainability.
