Over the past six months, we have launched innovative products and services designed to help businesses of all sizes and sectors on their sustainability journeys. At the same time, the world has experienced notable climate events and legislative changes that highlight both the challenges and opportunities in the fight against climate change. This review reports these key moments and provides a comprehensive look back at the first half of the year.
Last month we revolutionised our pricing and service model by launching four unique plans, carefully designed to meet the needs of businesses from all sectors and sizes, and with any level of sustainability and climate maturity.
Climate Basics Plan: Our Climate Basics plan was designed with small businesses in mind. It provides the tools and information necessary to measure a carbon footprint, set actionable goals, and begin reducing emissions—all at an accessible price point.
Climate Plus Plan: The Climate Plus plan offers comprehensive footprint measurement across multiple sites, backed by personalised expert guidance, detailed reports, and our sustainability journey mapper. This guided process, supported by expert advice and assistance, helps businesses expedite their progress toward sustainability goals.
Sustainability Plus Plan: The Sustainability Plus plan enables businesses to unlock the full potential of their sustainability efforts with tailored GRI reporting services. From materiality assessment to publication, this plan guides businesses in making abstract issues tangible and concrete, helping set goals, measure performance, and manage change. It inspires accountability and identifies risks, providing a robust framework for sustainability strategies and activities.
Custom Plan: The Custom plan allows businesses to choose from all the features available in other plans, plus a wide array of additional options, creating a bespoke path to sustainable success. By selecting the features and services that best meet their needs, FutureTracker’s fully-customisable sustainability plan ensures that sustainability efforts are effective, manageable, and adaptable to new challenges and opportunities.
In May we introduced our new Policy Builder tool, designed to streamline the creation of tailored sustainability policies for your organisation.
The tool empowers users to create documents for various sustainability areas, including procurement, business travel, and human rights. Built on the expertise of sustainability professionals and extensive research, it incorporates industry best practices and regulatory insights, ensuring robust, compliant, and forward-thinking policies.
Our Policy Builder works through an interactive creation process allowing users to shape their policies by responding to statements and questions, reflecting their sustainability intentions and operations. Additionally, the tool assists in managing the document by setting approval processes, accountability measures, and reviewing timelines, resulting in a draft ready for review and finalisation.
Earlier this year, Fred Betley was appointed the new Managing Director of FutureTracker, marking a significant milestone in his career following a rapid rise from university graduate to executive in just five years. Betley, who co-founded the company in 2019 with Marc Laine, has played a pivotal role in shaping FutureTracker’s mission and strategic direction.
Fred’s vision for FutureTracker remains mostly unchanged from the day he co-founded the business:
“Since day one, I’ve wanted to create something that enables businesses to embrace sustainability, helping the world to tackle climate change and social challenges, while also fostering an environment where corporate success and sustainability can go hand in hand.”
FutureTracker has partnered with Zfolio to empower financial service businesses, particularly fund companies, to meet the growing regulatory and market demands for climate-related disclosures. This partnership brings together the innovative capabilities of Zfolio with FutureTracker's expertise in sustainability, providing financial institutions with the tools they need to accurately measure, track, and reduce their portfolio emissions.
FutureTracker recently partnered with Treety, the business behind leading of ESG, SFDR, and SDR reporting software. This collaboration aims to empower financial services companies, particularly fund managers, to streamline their sustainability data collection, monitoring, and reporting processes.
As regulatory pressure intensifies under new regulations, this partnership combines Treety's advanced technology with FutureTracker's sustainability expertise to ensure financial institutions can meet their regulatory obligations efficiently and effectively.
