Paul Hohnen Sustainability Strategies
Crafting sustainability strategies that work
Drawing on his unique multi-stakeholder background and first-hand engagement in key global forums, Paul Hohnen offers government, business and international organisation leadership a range of tailored advisory services on the sustainable development issues they face, and on response options.
- Presentations on the sustainability and CSR landscape
Essential for any business leader interested in interpreting the organisational implications of the rapidly evolving regulatory and policy landscape.
64% of participants at the 5 February 2009 ACCSR Conference in Sydney were ‘very satisfied’ with Hohnen's presentation. A further 22% were ‘satisfied’.
- Policy papers on global sustainability and responsible business issues
Hohnen has assisted various intergovernmental bodies, business organizations and think tanks (including Chatham House) in crafting reports and policy advice on global sustainability issues.
Hohnen was lead author of a June 2008 OECD policy paper on the global CSR landscape.
- Executive Level ‘Sustainability Strategizing’ Sessions
Surveys show that CEOs know that sustainability will be increasingly key to future success. A common management challenge is how to build sustainability into the corporate DNA. Working with the corporate leadership, Hohnen constructs executive level workshops where participants themselves identify the unique drivers of sustainability for each company, and thereby understand and embrace the concept.

‘Paul has helped us to realise and understand in a very pragmatic way the importance of sustainability for our organisation. He did this in a humorous and inspiring interactive morning session. Something which would have taken us at least one or two years.’ |
- Facilitation
At best, meetings are invaluable for advancing understanding, agreement and engagement. At worst, they are an expensive waste of time, resources and opportunity. Hohnen's signature moderation of international multi-stakeholder sustainability events involves meticulous diplomatic preparation and presentation, ensuring client objectives are met in full.
