Hereby we present you an overview of a selection of projects conducted by our advisory group. We are proud to present
our valued clients, who have all given their permission to be included in this list. Names of contact persons and detailed
information regarding the projects are available on request.
Issue Identification and Strategy Development
For a wide variety of clients we serve as a sparring partner for creating their roadmap to sustainability. We have a proven
track record helping clients in identifying their main Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) issues. Our approach is always
tailored to the specific requirements of our client’s projects. It often involves identifying the views of the companies’ main
stakeholders, analyzing benchmarks, and collecting (through tailored questionnaires) internal and external insights. Based
on these findings, we help clients develop their CSR/sustainability strategy, formulate a clear policy, and design an action
plan for further implementation in their organization.
For many of our clients, besides assisting them with their general CSR strategy, we have also focused on specific
sustainability issues like climate change, supply chain sustainability, human rights, or community involvement.

Reporting and Monitoring
Our advisory group has a strong track record in providing consultancy services to companies in the selection of their CSR
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), data definition, handling, and reporting. We assist our clients in all (or specific)
aspects of sustainability reporting, namely:
• Content: identifying sustainability themes using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) methodology, formulating KPIs
and the related so-called activity data.
• Organization: setting up the internal organizational procedures to effectively collect, handle, validate, and
communicate the data. When necessary, we provide clients with Royal HaskoningDHV consultants to act as in-
company assistants.
• ICT: providing ICT support to capture sustainability data (integrate in clients’ system as well as through our own
advanced Excel-based application).
• Communication: assisting in the communication of the sustainability message, writing chapters or cases for CSR
reports, or reviewing draft reports.
Our clients have different ambitions regarding their sustainability report. We work for first-time reporters as well as
experienced, high-level reporters. During the whole process of making a CSR report we serve as a sparring partner.

Several of our clients have received the Kristal Award for the best Sustainability Report of a Dutch company, or have
made substantial progress in relevant sustainability ratings, such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, the CDP
Leadership Indices, and the Dutch Transparency Benchmark
Implementation and Training
We assist companies in meeting the challenge of effectively implementing socially responsible and sustainable business
practices. We have helped our clients to further embed sustainability in their organization. When assisting our clients we
maintain a hands-on and pragmatic approach.
Here is a selection of our activities in the field of implementation and training:
• Implementing ISO standards, including the ISO 26000 guideline, the CSR Performance ladder, the CO2 –
Performance ladder (SKAO), in all of the organization’s specialties and activities.
• Formulating business integrity policies and codes of conduct.
• Managing sustainable supply chains (developing supplier codes of conduct, audits, training, and greening product
portfolio).
• Developing and facilitating trainings and workshops for specific target groups, like account managers and sustainable
procurement staff.
• Developing tools (including website and e-tool) to implement CSR.
• Facilitating our Sustainability Challenge Game aimed at developing sustainable business opportunities.
• Executing sustainability programs by way of a secondment of an Royal HaskoningDHV consultant to the client.
Events and Memberships
Besides the work we do for our clients, we also focus on developing the sustainability concept. To this end, we organize
various events, host a website, and are an active member of CRS-related organizations.
Publications
We are active in publishing articles and giving interviews which highlight (new) relevant issues and opinions on
sustainability in the some of the country’s most important media. We also publish articles in specialized journals and
magazines.
In 2012, we were privileged to publish a book about the implementation of corporate social responsibility, in assignment of
the Dutch foundation Stichting Management Studies, called ‘Duurzaam ondernemen waarmaken, het bedrijfskundig
perspectief!’ (translated as “Managing the transition to a sustainable enterprise").
