The Climate Story
Climate is by far and away the dominant sustainability issue of our day - and arguably one of, if not the, dominant issues of the next 5-25 years.
While writing Gib’s book, Navigating Sustainable Growth: A Roadmap for Boards and Corporate Leaders, Gib teamed with climate expert Lucy Carmody to create The Climate Story. Available as Appendix A of the book - and as a separate website with full free access to all at https://the-climate-story.com/ - The Climate Story:
- Connects the dots for busy executives and anyone interested.
- Walks through 8 sequential steps - starting with energy demand and ending with capital markets - speaking directly to CEOs and CFOs.
- For each step, summarizes long-term trends; recent trends; and the next five years.
- Is grounded in data from the most reputable global sources.
View “The Story” as a free and frequently updated pdf on the website.
ePulse Data Tracking and Analysis
ePulse is a technology and service offering that helps clients stay up to date on current news and emerging issues. While ePulse can be used for virtually any subject, at Hedstrom Associates we use it primarily to deliver targeted and timely intelligence on sustainability trends and corporate responses. Working with clients for the past 20 years, we provide reports that help them:
- Keep their finger on the pulse of emerging developments;
- See relevant changes as they are made to selected competitor (and other) websites without having to trawl through those sites to see if anything is new; and
- Selectively override the laborious process of reading journals and searching the web for competitive insights and emerging issues, thus saving money while improving their competitive intelligence.
ePulse is a proprietary technology of Krupp Consulting Inc., one of our partners at Hedstrom Associates.
Strategic Environmental Issues Analysis
The president of a multinational chemical company identified “environment” as the number one (high impact/high uncertainty) driver affecting the business. We were asked to review a broad range of issues posing potential risk and opportunity. The results directly influenced the company’s strategic plans and investment decisions after approval by the Board of Directors.
