Project Overview
Bilancia worked with a diverse set of industrial clients to develop a comprehensive sustainability roadmap that translated ambitious public commitments into a structured, strategic plan for sustainability performance. The roadmap provided a clear framework of priorities, targets, and actions designed to guide the organisation’s sustainability journey over the medium and long term.
Client Challenge
The clients had declared sustainability commitments at a strategic level but lacked a defined pathway to operationalise these aspirations across business units. Key challenges included
- Ambitious sustainability and ESG objectives without a coordinated strategy
- Fragmented initiatives lacking prioritisation
- Resource constraints impacting implementation planning
- Expectations from investors, customers, and regulators for credible progress
- Complex operations across sectors and geographies requiring customised approaches
Leadership recognised the need for a strategic plan to sequence initiatives, allocate resources effectively, and demonstrate credible progress toward sustainability objectives.
Scope of Engagement
Bilancia was engaged to support the formulation of a structured sustainability roadmap customised to the clients’ context. The roadmap development focused on aligning organisational commitments with measurable targets, defining strategic initiatives, and establishing a governance framework to support implementation.

- A comprehensive sustainability roadmap with strategic priorities and milestones
