Value Balancing Alliance

„Now more than ever we need to rethink the role of business in society and take a new perspective on value creation. The value balancing alliance will help us to make better decisions to drive good growth and optimize our contribution to the environment, future generations and our shareholders“

„Every day, we face growing economic, technological and social challenges so it is essential to anticipate how these will impact us and our clients - and to act accordingly.“

„At LafargeHolcim we have long supported a holistic view of value creation, notably through our Integrated Profit & Loss (IP&L) statement. The IP&L, which complements our traditional financial and sustainability metrics, enhances decision-making and sustains our value creation for shareholders, society, and the environment over the long term. We are therefore glad to participate in the value balancing alliance.“

We define KAITEKI as “the sustainable well-being of people, society and our planet Earth” and in order to realize KAITEKI we are working on creating sustainable Social Value through innovation and business model transformation as well as creating Economic Value. We are confident that the Value Balancing Alliance will be an important tool for KAITEKI value measurement in our value chain.

„The value balancing alliance aims to standardize impact valuation. We believe standardization is required in order to drive broader adoption and will ultimately serve stakeholders – including shareholders and governments – helping to effectively compare non-financial performance among companies. At Novartis, we have developed and tested our approach to Financial, Environmental and Social (FES) impact valuation, and we are interested in sharing our experience and exchanging with other like-minded companies to help evolve it further.“

The Value Balancing Alliance is a great platform to enhance the quality of sustainable growth factors. We are convinced that this alliance will show the way to enable holistic and comparable measurement and steering. For Porsche, sustainability is paramount for future success.”

„In a hyper connected society, businesses need to incorporate both economic value and social value into their strategy to create virtuous cycle in the value chain. We truly believe that the value balancing alliance will provide us a powerful tool to drive business innovation, effectively deal with pressing social problems and lead to blue ocean shift.“

„Connecting economic, social, and environmental impact needs to become the guiding principle for the way we evaluate and steer business. We want to help ensure that smart integration of Impact Measurement and Valuation will ultimately become standard practice.“

"The great importance we place in sustainability and social responsibility goes back more than 130 years, to our company founder Robert Bosch. At Bosch, we see environmental concerns as both an engine of innovation and a business opportunity. We firmly believe that sustainability pays off not only socially, but economically as well. It is important to create standardized methods that will allow as many companies as possible to make the right decisions and to create social value through their actions. We are pleased to be part of the value balancing alliance and want to learn from the experience of the other members, so that society can benefit even more from entrepreneurial decisions in the future."
