/ OUR SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT
Since the beginning sustainability has been a part of bluegain’s DNA.
Reducing our ecological footprint is more than a buzzword for us. We minimize our environmental footprint through sustainable practices, such as LEED Gold-certified offices powered by solar thermal systems, we promote rooftop gardens with biodiversity projects and make extensive use of refurbished equipment. We prioritize train travel for business trips and offset our flights, with a commitment to further reduce air travel. We drive own bluegain impact by actively engaging in environmental projects; last year we worked on a marine conservation project where we rehabilitated sea turtles and repurposed ocean plastic waste. Moreover, every year we support diverse social initiatives through donations, e.g. the Children’s Cancer Foundation. It is a responsibility everyone on the team shares, and we are committed to further minimize or even neutralize our impact.
But here is the thing: the world needs more than just minimizing footprints. To really drive change entrepreneurially, we believe in something bigger – expanding our handprint and amplifying our positive influence.
As a technology and professional services firm, we are in a unique position to make a lasting difference by empowering global leaders to make sustainable, forward-thinking choices. By guiding those who shape industries, we know that every decision and every action we support can multiply the impact far beyond what we could achieve alone. This is what motivates us and what drives us to push the boundaries of what is possible in the field of sustainability. Here is a taste of what we mean.
Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

/ SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS
For a Swedish Group, we not only assessed the strategic focus and its current portfolio of sustainability initiatives and made recommendations for its further development. We also linked the sustainability and circularity strategy to the implications of the Group IT Target Picture. Going far beyond the concept of Green IT, our goal was to transform the digital and IT capabilities into drivers of environmental and social impact in the business, making it easier for leaders to accelerate the company’s journey towards the UN’s Sustainability Development Goals.
For a Global Consumer Products company, we developed a circularity strategy including an anything-as-a-service business model centered on repair management and refurbishment cycles for everyday items that too often end up in landfills. We connect their sustainability transformation with a business model shift and enabled with the right digital capabilities. This turned an unprofitable context process into a digitally scalable core process that benefits both the environment and business outcomes and sets a powerful example for other companies to follow.
/ EMPOWERING LEADERS TO CHAMPION SUSTAINABLE CHANGE
We see sustainability as more than a one-dimensional checklist. It is an ongoing transformational journey, and we are committed to walking that path with our clients, every step of the way from reporting function for risk mitigation and being regulation followers towards entrepreneurially-driven transformation programs focusing on opportunities and driving the adaptation of new beliefs and behaviors for real impact. In this sense, we can help to make ESG an integral part of the company’s system for creating value, delivering value and capturing value.
To this end, we have developed sustainability programs through our bluegain Academy, where we empower leaders across industries with the knowledge and tools they need to champion sustainable change. By investing in people - through education, insights and shared experiences - we are seeding a culture of sustainability that reaches beyond a single organization to inspire entire industries. And our CEO’s work as a member of the World Economic Forum’s Expert Network furthers this mission by helping set the standards that will guide industries and leaders as we move towards a more digital and sustainable future.
We take this responsibility seriously. Every project, every partnership, every interaction is driven by an ethical, thoughtful approach to making sustainability work for real-world outcomes. We are not just here to minimize harm. We are here to build a positive legacy that empowers others to expand their impact on the world. This is about more than us; it is about creating a movement, a momentum that drives positive change at a scale that matters.
That is the impact we are here for – and we are just getting started.
