BEAR is a sustainability assessment tool to help your business holistically measure, plan, assess, and continuously improve its positive impact on sustainability.

There’s growing recognition that if we want a sustainable, just and inclusive world we must invest and do business differently. Once seen as a radical idea, the notion of giving equal importance to social, environmental and economic value is now core.

Issues like climate change, fragility of supply chains and inequality continue to advance around the world; with consumers, shareholders and stakeholders starting to demand evidence of change and positive impact.

WHY MEASURE?

Accurate understanding, definition, evidencing and measuring of sustainability activities are key to ensuring genuine business impact.
