Drawing from the wealth of industry best practices, the actions in the library are designed to exemplify the most effective and impactful strategies. These practices have been proven to drive positive change in a business's operations, sustainability, and responsible practices.
Businesses come in various sizes, sectors, and priorities. That's why the actions within the library have been carefully crafted to cater to this diversity. Whether you're a small enterprise or a larger organisation, there are actions that fit your scale and goals, ensuring that every step you take is both meaningful and manageable.
The world is changing, and so are consumer expectations.

The determination of impact levels (high, medium, low) is based on a combination of factors, industry standards, and general trends observed in the context of the topic discussed. Here's how these impact levels are generally assigned:
A high impact level is assigned when an action or initiative has the potential to bring about significant, widespread, and lasting changes.
A medium impact level is assigned when an action or initiative is likely to produce meaningful outcomes that contribute positively to the organisation's goals and objectives. It indicates that the initiative can lead to noticeable improvements but might not necessarily create transformative changes on a large scale.
A low impact level is assigned when an action or initiative is expected to result in relatively modest changes that may not have significant implications for the overall organisation or broader goals. It suggests that the initiative might have benefits, but they may not be as profound or far-reaching.
These impact levels are not fixed and can vary based on the specific context, industry, company size, and the level of effort and resources allocated. They are used as general indicators to provide a sense of the potential influence an action or initiative might have. Ultimately, the impact level should be evaluated within the context of the organisation's goals, capabilities, and the specific circumstances of the situation.
The determination of cost levels (high, medium, low) is based on general industry knowledge, common practices, and typical resource allocations associated with various types of initiatives. Here's how these cost levels are generally assessed:
A high-cost level is assigned when an initiative requires a substantial investment of financial resources, time, and effort. This could involve significant expenditures for specialised personnel, technology, facilities, or extensive marketing efforts. High-cost initiatives often aim for transformative changes or substantial improvements in outcomes.
A medium cost level is assigned when an initiative requires a moderate investment of financial resources, time, and effort. It involves reasonable expenditures for essential resources and activities but may not require the same level of resources as a high-cost initiative. Medium-cost initiatives aim to achieve meaningful outcomes without overly straining resources.
A low-cost level is assigned when an initiative can be implemented with minimal financial investment and resource allocation. Low-cost initiatives usually involve leveraging existing resources, internal expertise, and relatively simple strategies. While the impact may still be significant, the financial and resource requirements are relatively low.
Again, we will utilise user-driven insights to continually monitor and validate the accuracy of impact assessments and cost projections for each action. Your valuable feedback ensures that our assessments stay up-to-date and relevant, allowing us to provide you with the most reliable information for your responsible business journey.
