ISCAL
The business in a nutshell
The Iscal group, part of the Belgian holding Finasucre, is a major player in the European sugar sector. The group supplies sugar to a number of players in the agri-food sector in Belgium and Europe.
THE MISSION
The Iscal group's objectives were to implement a coherent and effective CSR strategy within their organisation and to apply for B Corp certification. To achieve this, the group chose to be supported by the W-agency team, which enabled them to obtain a tailor-made CSR strategy in order to improve their B Corp score. Today, the W-agency team is still supporting Iscal on the road to B Corp certification.

SUMMARY
KEY MOMENTS
-
We facilitated a workshop on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a sustainability focus group comprising members of the management team and employees. The primary objective of the workshop was to establish their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy by identifying the key SDGs relevant to their business. We then carried out a collaborative brainstorming session to explore their links and impacts with the SDGs and determine how Iscal could contribute to them.
Finally, as a result of this workshop, the teams were able to select 4 SDGs and integrate them into their overall strategy.

Our collaboration with Iscal began in March 2021 with the aim of helping the group to achieve B Corp certification. To meet this objective, we have worked hand in hand with Iscal to develop a tailor-made ESG strategy that meets the requirements of the B Corp label. We began by assessing the CSR maturity of the Iscal group using the B Corp B Impact Assessment questionnaire. Following this initial assessment, we proposed a tailor-made action plan to increase Iscal's social and environmental performance and improve their score.
