We’re expanding the service to new customers and offering tailored insight briefings for companies. These are delivered by
secure PDF four times a year, and cover areas such as:
›› UNIQUE SUPPLY CHAIN INSIGHTS for
your company: tailored to your needs.
›› INSIGHTS INTO SPECIFIC AREAS of
human rights (eg FPIC) or particular
commodities (such as palm oil) based
on your preferences.
›› INTELLIGENCE on NGO campaigns and
their intentions and impacts.
›› TARGETS: competitor benchmarking
and comparisons in key areas.
›› STATS: the key numbers in the last
quarter that you need to know, and why
they matter.
›› RESULTS: how your performance
shapes up versus your peers.
›› MANAGEMENT TIPS: how leading
companies are adapting management
structures and incentives to deliver
sustainable procurement and
purchasing.
›› HORIZON SCANNING: the key risks
and opportunities that are coming down
the track.
INSIGHT THAT WORKS FOR YOUR BUSINESS
We realise that there is no one-size fits all solution for the challenges that companies face. Innovation Forum directors
Toby Webb and Ian Welsh have spent the past two decades engaging with leading global brands and businesses, helping them
identify the business-critical sustainability issues they need to focus on and, crucially, how to develop the right messages
to communicate these issues to internal and external audiences.
Innovation Forum’s extensive network of expert analysts and independent commentator contacts gives us a unique ability
to call on the sort of candid and informed insight that is of real value to our clients.
CUTTING EDGE CREDENTIALS
We combine this with the most-important points and outcomes from our annual conference and forums series – 16 in total
in 2016 – that cover the key business issues such as deforestation, business and human rights, smallholder farmers and
agricultural supply chains. We bring together the informed opinion-formers – and our clients gain from the resulting insight.
Our directors chair every event, moderate the conference sessions, and deliver back to our clients their informed take on the
innovative points and ideas raised by expert speakers and during open debate.
We also interview speakers and delegates regularly – their insight helps guide our conference and forum series, and we share
this with our own clients through our briefing and advisory services.
Alongside our quarterly briefing in secure, readable, PDF format, our clients benefit from private face-to-face briefings
– with their operations colleagues and board-level executives. We do these for a companies around the world in the form
of workshops, seminars, roundtables and presentations, all in a highly interactive and tailored format.
WHO WE WORK WITH
We work with a number of companies and organisations, who have taken advantage of our bespoke briefing and tailored
insight services. These include Walgreens Alliance Boots, SOK Corporation, Interface, and the EU Beet Sugar Sustainability
Partnership.
We also have hundreds of senior sustainability executives a year at our events from some of the largest companies and most
influential NGOs around the world.
