Consulting related to Business Consultancy in the context of Manufacturing

Scope

At HSSMI, we understand that your business is under a lot of pressure to be commercially and operationally successful in a challenging environment—resource scarcity and price volatility, high customer requirements, customer perception of brand, and changing legislation, to name a few. We believe the circular economy is one of the frameworks a business can use to future-proof itself against potential challenges. Circular economy is not a nice-to-have. Conversely, a good circular economy strategy should not add to existing tasks and take away from a business’s main purpose.

The Circular Economy Maturity Assessment is a unique market offering, which differentiates from the competition in two respects:

  • The strategic focus, i.e. it takes into account the specific strategic priorities of your business;
  • Tangible manufacturing aspects such as waste, energy, packaging, product design, freight efficiency, which have the potential to create a real impact on your business.

HSSMI’s CEMA is a unique process aimed at business leaders and ESG / CSR professionals who are struggling with these problems:

  • Our business has sustainability, circular economy, or net zero targets but isn’t sure how to implement them;
  • Our business has sustainability, circular economy, or net zero targets but isn’t sure how to assess and measure progress or assign KPIs;
  • Our business is under pressure to demonstrate we have a sustainability plan but we don’t know how to go about putting one together yet;
  • Our ESG / CSR / sustainability team is struggling to get the necessary senior-level buy-in on sustainability activities.

Approach

The CEMA process is comprised of four key components - identifying the current and future state; identifying business and circular economy priorities; detailed roadmapping; and implementation support. It is best delivered in-person with senior executives and leaders within a business, spanning as many divisions as possible, such as production, procurement, after-sales, finance, and HR. If necessary, it is possible to adapt and deliver the CEMA online as well.

Outcome

As part of conducting a Circular Economy Maturity Assessment of your business, you can expect to receive:

  • Training material on circular economy;
  • Completed circular economy maturity assessment, with current and future state scores and prioritised elements identified;
  • Visual representation of CEMA status on radar charts;
  • CEMA roadmaps in both simple (project titles, named project lead and timing) and detailed formats;
  • Final report summarising process and results.
