How does an ESG Bootcamp help Acerta Consult translate sustainability into future-oriented services?

For a service organization like Acerta Consult , sustainability isn't just an internal exercise. ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) simultaneously impacts:

• its own operation

• the strategic positioning

• and the way value is created for customers

  
  

The central question was therefore clear: how do you embed ESG internally and translate it into concrete, future-oriented services?

To formulate a well-founded answer to this question, Acerta Consult, together with Route 2030, started an intensive ESG Bootcamp programme .

Why an ESG Bootcamp?

ESG is often mentioned, but less often made concrete. For Acerta Consult it was crucial to:

• Clearly define ESG within their context

• to determine priorities

• to identify opportunities for new services

• to create support within the internal team

  
  

A traditional advisory report wasn't enough. What was needed was a structured learning and working process .

The approach: from clarification to strategic opportunities

The ESG Bootcamp consisted of five interactive working sessions in which an internal core team was guided step by step.

1. Clarification: What does ESG mean in concrete terms for Acerta?

We translated general ESG frameworks into the realities of HR and service organizations. No abstract definitions, but concrete implications for processes, customers, and services.

2. Reflection: alignment with mission and values

Together we explored how sustainability fits within the existing mission and vision. Where are the natural starting points? Where are the gaps?

3. Future-oriented thinking: new opportunities

ESG was approached not just as an obligation, but as an opportunity. We identified opportunities to:

• to make existing services more sustainable

• to develop new propositions

• to better support clients in their own ESG challenges

  
  

Co-creation as a lever for support

During the process we combined substantive frameworks with practical exercises and group dialogue.

The participatory approach ensured that:

• insights were shared

• priorities were determined jointly

• ownership emerged within the team

ESG thus became not an external project, but an internally supported movement.

What the ESG Bootcamp delivered

Thanks to the process, Acerta Consult now has:

• a clear interpretation of ESG within their own context

• concrete view of strategic opportunities for service provision

• a roadmap for further implementation

• increased internal support for sustainable choices

The ESG Bootcamp served as a catalyst: from clarification to action.

Conclusion: ESG as a strategic lever

The collaboration with Acerta Consult shows how an ESG Bootcamp can serve as:

• learning path

• strategic reflection exercise

• innovation instrument

Not by simply reporting, but by working together on insight, ownership and future-oriented services.
