Hi, thanks for your question. In our day-to-day business, this starts with very small things, such as not using paper. But of course we also try to operate the "big levers" by putting together teams that are close to our clients to avoid travel emissions.

To add to that: Sustainability is becoming increasingly important for the competitive advantage of companies. Hence, we also integrate the impact of sustainability in "regular client projects" (i.e. projects which have not been set-up as sustainability project from the beginning), for example by considering the effect of CO2 prices, shifting client demands, and potential shortage of green resources in the future

Thank you very much for your answer, and it's even nicer to hear that the concept of sustainability is firmly anchored at Roland Berger - even in non-sustainable projects, as it is becoming an increasingly important issue.
