A sustainability roadmap solves these challenges by integrating data on a company’s ESG risks and opportunities into a single, cohesive, high-level action plan for the entire enterprise. Creating a sustainability roadmap is a strategic endeavor that aggregates, prioritizes, and refines a company’s sustainability initiatives and targets, while aligning such initiatives with the company’s financial strategy.

Based on the carbon inventory, materiality assessment, and input from company leaders, TripleWin delivered a 40-page sustainability roadmap for StockX with the following features:

• Executive summary and global context: Highlights StockX’s leadership commitment to sustainability and its importance to the company’s business model and culture. Contextualizes StockX within relevant global risks and opportunities.
• Value creation frameworks: Explains the business case for creating differentiated and long-term value through sustainability. Lists strategic partners and standards for measuring and communicating performance.
• Action focus areas: Details recommended sustainability goals and initiatives for StockX, organized into four focus areas: Planet, People, Community, Innovation. Each focus area presents a quantitative snapshot of current performance, combined a detailed description of initiatives for each SMART goal (time-bound to years 2025, 2030, and 2050). Visual of StockX’s goals paired to the SDGs they support.
• Short-term outlook: A high-level five-year timeline for achieving StockX’s declared 2025 goals in each focus area.
• Governance, reporting and accountability: Recommends a corporate governance structure for guiding StockX toward more sustainable operations, along with an accountability framework for measuring and reporting progress across all regions worldwide.
• Appendix of data and KPIs: A detailed reference to supportive background data, assets, and information on key industry trends, developed from primary and secondary research.

TripleWin designed the roadmap to also serve as a guide for managers and employees when communicating the StockX vision, strategy and initiatives to stakeholders. A sustainability communications playbook outlines the mindset, policies and best practices for talking about sustainability in ways that foster understanding and trust and enhance impact. It emphasizes the importance of honesty, transparency, and accuracy: “Announce your achievements…but not at the expense of avoiding the challenges and roadblocks along the way.”

The sustainability roadmap thus provides StockX with a tool for showing their diverse stakeholders that they take sustainability seriously and are setting ambitious yet realistic goals in support of their “current culture” communities and the environment.
