What's Inside

Coverage Areas
The model decomposes the sustainability value chain into granular, MECE capabilities covering environmental, social, and governance (ESG) functions. Cross-sector and applicable to financial services and enterprises broadly.
How Teams Use It
- Benchmark & gap analysis — assess current-state maturity and identify capability gaps
- Capability-based roadmapping — plan investments around capability evolution, not siloed projects
- Application portfolio rationalization — map capabilities to systems for footprint analysis and consolidation decisions
- Business-IT alignment — use capabilities as a shared language between business and technology teams
Who It's For
Business architects, enterprise architects, sustainability and ESG leaders, and program managers driving responsible business practices.
Why Buy vs. Build
Building a capability model from scratch takes hundreds of hours of brainstorming across architects, domain experts, and leadership. This model provides 60–80% of the work done at a fraction of the cost. Use it to jump-start your effort — or to cross-reference and fill gaps in an existing map.
This is a generic model designed as a starting point — customization to your organization's specific context is expected and encouraged.
