We had an exceptional experience collaborating with the Embedding Project team. They developed a bespoke climate action training video tailored specifically for our law firm. The team's expertise and dedication were evident throughout the process, resulting in a high-quality, engaging, and informative video that exceeded our expectations.

Approaching sustainability for a conglomerate like IBL Ltd has been a challenge, as we have numerous companies and business units with varying levels of maturity. Complex tools for materiality assessments were getting us nowhere and we were losing engagement. Through our partnership with the Embedding Project, we started a journey where the building of a radar allowed re-engagement through a simple, yet powerful approach. It is thrilling to be on this journey.

May 6, 2026 · By Stephanie Bertels and Rachel Dekker

Many organisations are considering how to incorporate sustainability risks in their enterprise risk management (ERM) process to gain a more comprehensive view of their risk landscape. The question is how best to do so. In this blog, we explore how companies are approaching this task, identify key limitations of typical systems and processes, and ask whether businesses should be expanding their conversation about risk beyond risk appetite and risk tolerance to also consider risk imposition – the acceptable levels of risk that your business creates for others through its actions.
