The Responsible Business Simulator

The quantitative approach to every strategic decision

How can I make smart investments to create added value for my company and stakeholders? How can I compare financial and non-financial effects with each other and factor them into my decision-making?

The Responsible Business Simulator offers answers to these questions. This modelling tool helps you make strategic decisions based on facts rather than instincts. By quantifying both financial and non-financial aspects, you can transparently make integrated decisions. We call this sustainable business modelling.

Modelling for a sustainable strategy

You can translate your ambitions in the areas of People, Planet, and Profit into strategic decisions. Our modelling tool the Responsible Business Simulator provides you with insight about how strategic options within various scenarios will play out in terms of your ambitions: quantitative and qualitative, financial and non-financial, with the focus always being on sustainable added value for your business.
