Provide and Capture Value With Sustainability

Everyone’s talking about sustainability — few can sell it.

Right now, it’s one of the last big levers to stand out in crowded markets. For commodities, it can even be a gamechanger — turning “just another product” into a differentiated and preferred solution.

Meanwhile, your customers are already moving. Procurement teams are rolling out supplier programs and tying buyer incentives to sustainability targets. They’ve realized they won’t move the needle without tackling Scope 3.1 and engaging their supply base — and that means you.

So now’s the time to use sustainability as what it still is: a source of differentiation, margin, and pride.

And that won’t happen if only a few experts understand it. Marketing and Sales need to own this differentiator and tell the sustainability story in a way customers actually care about — credible, confident, and commercial.

But let’s be clear: the window of opportunity won’t stay open forever.

Once regulation and industry standards turn sustainability into a hygiene factor, you’ll be competing on price again — just with greener packaging and higher effort.

Differentiate and Create Value With Sustainability —
Before Everyone Else Does.

What Double Loop Selling Sustainability Is All About

Sustainability is more than a buzzword — but too few Marketing and Sales teams truly own the topic and actively sell it in their customer interactions.

Our Selling Sustainability programs make your teams fluent in what really matters: Scope 1–3, TfS, SBTi, circularity, and how your customers actually benefit from your solutions and sustainability initiatives.

We help your Marketing and Sales teams create sustainability insights on customers and competitors — combining traditional research with AI-powered analysis. Based on a sustainability segmentation of your customer base, we help them uncover new differentiation potential in your sustainability solutions and programs, even in commoditized markets.

Your teams learn to create and capture value with sustainability — in markets where many still believe you can’t make money with it. They’ll apply Value Selling, Solution Selling, and the Challenger Sale where each fits best, because there’s no one-size-fits-all way to sell BMB, low-PCF products, circularity solutions, or resource-efficiency enablers.

We work with your real examples, cases, and business-specific role plays — so people don’t just talk about sustainability, they practice selling it.

Because the smartest way to unlock differentiation and margin potential is simple: show with confidence how your sustainability solutions work — and how they create value for your customers.
