SUSTAINABILITY IS A CIRCULAR PATH

The Philippines remains one of the most at-risk countries in the world for the adverse effects of climate change. However, these same risks are rife with complexity and uncertainty, and organizations typically fail to properly assess their implications. CBPI takes a holistic approach towards this pivotal issue, addressing these risks from a bespoke, science-based perspective.

THE CBPI PROCESS

1. MEASURE
The first phase of CBPI involves measuring where the company is situated in terms of sustainability. The company’s current framework and reporting structure can be readily integrated with CBPI’s Measure phase, ensuring science-based targets are in place in line with international standards and local mandates.

2. MANAGE
The second phase of CBPI provides the range of solutions through a detailed Roadmap needed to achieve the targets outlined in the measure phase. This phase remains highly bespoke and tailored to align with the company’s short-, medium-, and long-term strategies and capital flows. Managing these key solutions entails a robust network of both projects and solution providers, which is the purview of CBPI.

3. MAINTAIN
Lastly, the Maintain phase of CBPI ensures that on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis, all targets and data are assessed, considering any new factors or strategic directions that may have occurred within the year. CBPI is a continuously evolving and optimized process, and this phase ascertains that any projects or solutions undertaken in the Manage phase are on track to reach the targets set in the Measure phase.
