Resources, Circularity, Resilience

Sustainability economics

Every product life extended, every resource saved: the sustainability economy transforms resource efficiency into measurable performance.

Strat & IoT supports organizations in implementing functional economy models, where usage and performance take precedence over the simple ownership of equipment. We design economic models in which customers pay for availability, performance, or the outcome delivered, such as guaranteed operating hours, energy savings, or measured reliability, rather than simply purchasing equipment.This approach aligns the interests of suppliers and customers: the more reliable and well-maintained the equipment is, the more value generated is shared. It relies on continuous, data-driven performance management, an essential foundation for proving and billing actual usage.

Market context

Can you still remain competitive without integrating sustainability into your business model?

Sustainability is becoming a driver of competitiveness rather than a constraint. Unilever demonstrates this: the brands within its “Sustainable Living Plan”, including Dove, Ben & Jerry’s, and Hellmann’s, grew approximately 50% faster than the rest of the group, accounting for more than 60% of its growth in 2016. According to its former CEO, the plan strengthened competitiveness by driving innovation and reducing costs and risks. Sustainability is no longer a barrier to performance, but one of its key drivers.

Roadmap

From Strategy to Scaled Value

1

Assessment

Diagnose ambition, data maturity, operating constraints, and value pools.

2

Strategy

Prioritize the highest-value opportunities, governance, and executive alignment.

3

Implementation

Industrialize architecture, workflows, capabilities, and controls.

4

Optimisation

Measure real value creation and achieve sustainable, continuous improvement.

5

Maintenance

Securing long-term performance through continuous and predictive monitoring

Priority themes

Where does the momentum come from?

1

Predictive maintenance and asset life extension

Anticipate failures rather than replace equipment, reducing resource consumption and extending the lifespan of assets.

2

Regulation and regulatory pressure

Decarbonization standards, non-financial reporting, and compliance requirements are transforming sustainability from a choice into an operational obligation.

3

Redesigned business models

Functional economy, eco-design, and circularity that align financial performance with positive environmental impact.

Challenge areas

What are your pain points?

  • Difficult-to-demonstrate ROI
  • Fragmented or missing environmental data
  • A transformation perceived as a cost rather than a lever.
Solution priorities

Where should we focus our efforts?

  • Building a quantified value case Environmental data governance Integration into business models Training and change management at scale

Technology foundations

What are our tools?

The delivery model is built around a concrete set of platforms, operational signals, and transformation capabilities selected to address the specific realities of the mission.

IoT ROI TCO Dashboards
Value creation

with a financial, operational and/or strategic benefit

  • A justified and secured investment Proactive compliance rather than reactive compliance More sustainable and profitable assets Real adoption across all sites
Asset life extension

Predictive maintenance, eco-design, and reuse to reduce resource consumption without compromising performance.

Data reliability

Accurately measure consumption and emissions, an essential prerequisite for managing and demonstrating real-world impact.

Value-Impact alignment

Translate every sustainability initiative into a quantified value case, turning it into a driver of competitiveness rather than a constraint.
