Future Proof Strategy Development: Elopak AS
Terrafiniti provided strategic support to Elopak Group to help develop their corporate vision, a compelling business case and develop action plans.
Strategy development
We began by briefing on sustainability risks and opportunities and facilitating a visioning process with a group of c.50 key management, operations and technical staff. This resulted in a hugely ambitious sustainability vision and identified key ‘pillars’ to achieve it.
Terrafiniti facilitated and supported five pillar work groups to deliver the strategy, each group developed a binding target for 2020. Action plans were developed within each group to deliver overall sustainability goals. Each target was carefully scoped and underpinned by delivery activities.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
