Industries Overview
Sustainability is universal. But how does it manifest? That’s deeply sectoral.
The challenges of a textile exporter navigating global buyer expectations are not the same as those faced by a real estate developer dealing with embodied carbon or a tech firm contending with data ethics and e-waste. Each sector has its own operational realities, regulatory pressures, stakeholder priorities, and opportunities for transformation.
At SAGE Sustainability, we believe that credible sustainability begins with context. Since 2016, we’ve worked across diverse industries—rolling up our sleeves to map impact, identify material issues, and co-create strategies that are both ambitious and actionable. From circularity roadmaps for manufacturers to ESG frameworks for distilleries and climate risk disclosures for energy players—our approach is collaborative, grounded, and sector-specific.
Imagine a space that protects both people’s basic needs and the planet’s ecological boundaries. Inside this ring — the “doughnut” — is the safe and just space for humanity.
- Too far inside? People face shortfalls in food, water, education, equality, and justice.
- Too far outside? We overshoot limits like climate stability, clean air, oceans, and biodiversity.
- In the middle? That’s where resilience, innovation, and sustainable value live.
We believe real impact happens when businesses grow without compromising the planet or people.We base everything we do, from advisory to reporting, strategy to training, on the powerful Doughnut Economy model.
