Green & Digital. The ‘Twin Transitions’

The ‘green transition’ is necessary to mitigate the consequences of climate change and the degradation of the environment. ‘Digital transformation’ has changed how business creates value and continues to transform the way we live.  The term ‘twin transitions’ refers not only to two concurrent transformational trends (the green and digital transitions); the term also refers to uniting the two transitions, which could accelerate necessary changes and bring societies closer to the level of transformation needed. 

Green Transition

The green transition refers to the fundamental shift in production and consumption patterns to allow us to live within planetary boundaries. It means mitigating climate change by introducing climate-friendly lifestyles and taking environmental costs into account. It includes addressing the loss of biodiversity and its multiple ecosystem services that are crucial to healthy living and resilient societies. At the same time, the green transition must be fair and inclusive.

Digital Transition

Using digital technologies, systems management can cope with an increasing complexity while optimising operations. Monitoring and tracking can provide real-time information. Simulation and forecasting can improve efficiency, for example in the form of Digital Twins that can simulate the entire life cycle of a product or process. Data and data analysis will be the backbone of the green and digital transitions. Sensors, can help to collect and disseminate such data.

Our mission is to help government and business to successfully manage the green and digital ‘twin’ transitions as the cornerstone for delivering a sustainable, fair, and competitive future.

The Twin Transitions & ESG

ESG (Environment, Social & Governance) is a framework that helps stakeholders to understand the impact a company has on the environment and society, the impact the environment and society has on a company, and how well the company is governed. Increasingly, investors consider ESG as they consider investing in a company. ESG data and the analysis of this data has becoming an important aspect of corporate due diligence. ESG frameworks and standards will establish greater accountability for the twin transitions and help identify value creation opportunities. Listed companies and larger companies are increasingly subject to ESG related legislation. To assess whether your company is subject to legislation, use our rapid assessment tool.

ESG & value creation opportunities

ESG is more than just a compliance framework. It is a lens on a business that will help to identify both risk and opportunity. Those companies that invest in making a more positive impact on the environment and society have been able to create value across the following 6 dimensions:

 

Customer acquisition

Selling sustainable products will attract new customers. Stronger community and government relations will also achieve better access to resources and markets.

Customer retention

Building customer satisfaction, loyalty and lifetime value will lead to increased revenues at a lower cost of sale and advocacy will lead to new customer acquisition.

Cost reductions

Continuously and automatically monitor your environment and analyse data to identify opportunities to optimise operations.

Productivity uplift

Purpose driven organisations can attract and retain top talent and lead to a more motivated workforce.

Regulatory and legal interventions

Achieve greater strategic freedom through deregulation, reduce fines and penalties. Reduce restrictions on advertising.

Investment and asset optimisation

Attract investors. Enhance returns by better long term capital allocation. Reduce risk on longer term environmental issues.
