Assess sustainability early.Design better businesses from the start.

​How can sustainability be systematically integrated into a business idea or an existing business – even when detailed sustainability data is not yet available?

​Join us for an introduction to the ZEEUS Sustainability-by-Design Tool, developed to help users identify relevant sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities at an early stage.

​The tool combines the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the logic of double materiality based on the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). It provides a structured qualitative assessment and translates the results into clear priorities and practical recommendations.

​What to expect

​During the webinar, we will:

• ​briefly introduce the idea behind Sustainability by Design

• ​explain the methodological foundation of the tool

• ​introduce SDGs, ESRS and double materiality

• ​demonstrate the tool using a practical example

• ​show how to interpret impacts, risks, opportunities and recommendations

• ​provide resources for using the tool independently after the webinar

​The session will include a live demonstration of the Sustainability-by-Design Tool and time for questions.

​Who should join?
Students, researchers, entrepreneurs, startups, SMEs, companies and anyone interested in integrating sustainability into business development and decision-making.
