The CreaSus piloting programme offers organisations a strategic opportunity to integrate sustainability into their business practices, addressing social, environmental, and governance aspects while enhancing profitability. Through a comprehensive self-assessment process, participants can evaluate their performance, organise sustainability data, and use it to create added value in their offerings. Based on the assessment results, tailored actions for improvement are proposed, supported by funding schemes and business models designed to facilitate sustainable transformation. Participants also gain access to capacity-building programmes to strengthen their skills, processes, and resources, ensuring they are equipped to implement sustainability innovations effectively.

CreaSus tools are developed with a holistic approach, aligning with the newly implemented European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) to prepare organisations for future compliance. By addressing the specific needs of Cultural and Creative Sector Industries (CCSIs) and combining local and European perspectives, the tools provide a robust framework for driving sustainability. Organisations will also benefit from ongoing support throughout the piloting process, with their data securely managed on a dedicated platform developed by Fundación Banco Santander. CreaSus enables participants to leverage innovative strategies, positioning their businesses competitively while contributing to broader social and environmental goals.
