Sustainable Value Creation
→ How can we help
We are at a crucial moment. The world is undergoing the greatest transformation in the shortest period of time in its history.
The scale of short-term crises (from the effects of the pandemic to the war in Ukraine, inflation and trade disputes) and Megatrends such as climate change, technological disruption, and vast demographic changes mean that business leaders need to address short-term urgencies while simultaneously strategizing to deal with Megatrends.
There is an increasing need for companies to adapt to climate change, reduce their carbon footprints, and transform their value chains.
This transformation can be grouped into six critical domains:
- how we move
- how we build
- how we take care of ourselves
- how we manufacture things
- how we supply energy
- how we feed ourselves
Each of which requires a complete reconfiguration of their global value chains, creating new ecosystems.
However, despite the complexity and challenges ahead, there are also enormous opportunities for businesses and society. These challenges are driving the need for reinvention. Reinvention is not easy, but action is essential for long-term viability.
It is therefore important to ensure a strategic approach that combines innovation and sustainability to tackle these challenges while also considering the global perspective with deep knowledge of local market conditions.

Net Zero Transformation & Energy Transition
Sustainable Business
Achieving net-zero emissions targets will require business transformation, including operations, products, services, and supply chains.
We help clients navigate the complex landscape of climate change and energy transition.
Companies increasingly need to examine how their business models, products, and services will be affected by climate change and how public demands, political climate, and financial assessments will change as a result. Therefore, they need to consider how successful today's strategy will be in the future.
Additionally, value is shifting in global energy systems as many organizations begin to play the dual role of producer-consumer. Many organizations are becoming energy 'prosumers,' producing, storing, and selling their own electricity, while still purchasing from the grid.
PwC supports companies in defining and operationalizing net-zero emissions strategies and energy transition strategies across all capacities and operational models.
With comprehensive analyses from the initial diagnosis to the development of strategies and the implementation of innovative solutions, we help our clients achieve their long-term climate goals, promote their green growth, reduce operational costs and environmental impact, and contribute positively to global climate action.

Sustainable Supply Chain Strategy & Transformation
Sustainable Business
Sustainable supply chains require a transformative mindset and collaboration among suppliers throughout the entire value chain, something we are well-positioned to facilitate.
The volatility of resource prices and the current geopolitical context has created uncertainty for several organizations, many of which have already adopted alternative options. Companies are also feeling the pressure of regulatory changes and stricter environmental standards.
Sustainable supply chains are more stable, anticipate regulatory developments, and reduce supply and reputational risks. PwC offers a range of specialized services to help your company build a sustainable, resilient, and competitive value chain.

Circular Economy Transformation
Sustainable Business
Discover how your business can retain and increase value by adopting a circular economy approach.
The recovery of critical raw materials is essential to reduce dependence on scarce resources and ensure the sustainability of new technologies. Combating waste and resource resilience in an era of disrupted supply chains highlights the importance of creating robust systems that can withstand disruptions and ensure the continuity of essential material supply.
We help clients implement circular economy principles in their business model, leveraging opportunities for value capture and creation. We advise on transforming business models through the analysis of their business ecosystem, maximizing resource efficiency, minimizing waste, and returning products and materials to the material cycle, increasing longevity, repairing, reusing, and recycling.

ESG Due Dilligence
Value Creation in Deals
Sustainable deals done right unlock value, create resilience, and generate impact.
Using due diligence in ESG, risks can be properly measured and effectively mitigated, and opportunities for value creation can also be identified.
According to a PwC study conducted in 2023, which involved 166 private equity firms worldwide, 70% consider ESG as one of the top three value drivers. Ignoring ESG factors in company evaluations can result in unpleasant surprises in the future.
PwC has developed an ESG due diligence methodology that translates ESG opportunities and risks into financial impact. PwC's ESG due diligence methodology provides insights into the positives and negatives through a 'value bridge.' This 'value bridge' visualizes the value creation of an investment and shows how the value changes due to factors such as operational improvements, changes in capital structure, market conditions, and ESG. For us, it is increasingly clear that ESG considerations should be an integral part of business value assessment from the outset. Therefore, we support our clients in integrating risk management and ESG factors and creating value in transaction processes.

32% PE
