Steering Organisations Towards Informed Sustainability Choices

Organisations often grapple with where to direct their sustainability initiatives to align with their business goals. Together, True and Paragon +Impact will guide organisations in defining their clear sustainability vision or "North Star". This approach involves pinpointing the core Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aligned with their operations, ensuring efforts yield measurable and significant outcomes.

Raising the Bar for Credible Reporting

Accurate data capture is fundamental for businesses to understand and portray their genuine sustainability impact. Paragon +Impact's cutting-edge technology – the +Grading tool - streamlines this, ensuring alignment with globally revered reporting frameworks. This reinforces organisational credibility through independent verification and paves the way for transparent stakeholder engagements, setting the gold standard against greenwashing.

From Insights to Impactful Actions

The partnership will furnish organisations with comprehensive SDG impact reports. These insights spotlight businesses' sustainability trajectories, aiding in strategic decision-making for long-term sustainable economic growth. By comprehending their real-world impacts and pinpointing growth avenues, organisations can revisit their "North Star" and augment their sustainable influence across societal, environmental, and commercial dimensions.

"We are thrilled to partner with Paragon Impact to drive real change in sustainability reporting," said Michelle Ryan, Chief Sustainability Officer at True. "Together, we will empower businesses to achieve their sustainability goals, eliminate greenwashing, and create a lasting positive impact on our planet and society."
