Corporate Sustainability and Responsible Business
Helping organisations create long term value through sustainable, responsible and accountable business.
Sustainable Solutions
Overview
Companies increasingly recognise that shareholders favour businesses with a net positive effect on environmental, social and governance (ESG) outcomes. Built into sustainable business models, corporate sustainability enables the private sector to invest responsibly, while shareholders press boards, management and employees to improve their ESG performance.
Responsible business is the ability of an organisation to produce valued products or services responsibly while sustaining its future operations. Responsible businesses create long term value through business plans that address stakeholder needs across economic, social and environmental areas, focusing on the long term future of the organisation and its stakeholders rather than short term profit.
WSF in collaboration with IBF International Institute for Better Futures helps clients identify ESG indicators, set a strategy and design suitable reporting, and brings together all thematic areas of business responsibility and sustainability risk, so they can be accountable to their internal and external stakeholders.

Gender mainstreaming
When required by our clients, we integrate gender mainstreaming into every service we deliver.
Gender mainstreaming is the process of assessing the implications for women and men of any planned action, including legislation, policies, programmes and projects, in all areas and at all levels. It makes the concerns and experiences of women, as well as men, an integral part of how initiatives are designed, implemented, monitored and evaluated, so that women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated.
Based on the definition adopted by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (1997).How we apply it
- Gender analysisUnderstanding how an initiative affects women and men differently, using sex disaggregated data.
- Inclusive engagementMaking sure women are heard in consultation, engagement and decision making.
- Gender responsive indicatorsTargets and indicators that track whether women and men benefit equally.
- Capacity buildingStrengthening the skills of client teams to sustain gender equality outcomes.
