DELOITTE
Scott Birch What is your strategy when you connect with a large client ? You mentioned exploration and education – can you describe how this process begins ?
Sudeep Singh Certainly – in our opinion , Sustainability is a broad and complex topic that requires breakthrough thinking . At Deloitte , we have studied breakthroughs in great depth and have developed an immersive experience for it ; we call it the Greenhouse Experience .
Alec Kasuya To go a little deeper on the Greenhouse Experience , it is a key asset and differentiator for us , and we believe it ' s going to be extremely impactful and inspiring when it comes to this particular topic with our clients . For those who haven ' t experienced it , our Greenhouse Lab is a fully immersive and sensory experience , where we invite key client leaders to meet with us , ultimately helping them with a vision forward to inspire innovation and creativity amongst their teams . The Greenhouse Lab is typically built with three parts : explore , discovery and commitment . The goal of these sessions is to orchestrate common understanding and viability – a path forward .
“Between consumer preferences , employee choices , risks due to climate change , ESGearmarked capital , imminent ESG reporting , our clients are taking the topic of real action to drive Sustainability very seriously ”
SUDEEP SINGH PRINCIPAL , DELOITTE
In essence , we are working with our clients to orchestrate their Sustainability story .
The Lab can run the gamut from the simplest notion of energy efficiency to more complex topics like purpose and equity . With Deloitte ’ s capability portfolio , we can go very broad and deep . We explore enterprise-specific impacts in the context of the energy transition as it relates to power , utilities and renewable energy , as well as oil , gas and biofuels . We explore regulatory environments and climate at both macro and micro levels , and the impacts that different regulatory regimes are – or will be – having on our clients ’ businesses near-term , as well as the long-term planetary impacts .
Discovery via the Greenhouse is really about looking for solutions – identifying pathways that help drive to overall Sustainability goals . On the point about commitment , we are building on the foundation of the vision and getting to action , the tactical next steps , the plans , the roadmaps , the activities required to start
