Case study

Aligning sustainability strategy with business strategy

Sancroft developed an inaugural ESG strategy for solar tracking technology GameChange Solar. The subsequent three-year partnership has seen the continuous improvement, expanded reporting and achievement of numerous third-party certifications.

GameChange Solar is a leading US-based manufacturer of solar trackers and fixed-tilt racking systems, having supplied components for over 43GW  of projects.

Sancroft began working with GameChange Solar in 2022, with the initial goal of translating their long-held sustainability principles into a formal, holistic strategy.

Throughout the next three years, we worked alongside GameChange Solar to update their sustainability strategy to reflect business growth and ambition, track improvements over time, and communicate progress clearly.

To craft GameChange Solar’s first ESG Strategy, we undertook a materiality assessment to determine the most important factors to the business. Using this, we developed the strategy alongside a complementary implementation roadmap and indicators to demonstrate progress.

Throughout the relationship, Sancroft has supported GameChange Solar to calculate its Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and sign up to the United Nations Global Compact, including the completion of its first annual Communication on Progress.

Both carbon emissions and UNGC are vital elements of publicly communicating progress on sustainability. Over the multi-year partnership, we worked closely with internal teams to source data, align messaging with business goals and present progress clearly and credibly in drafting the company’s ESG reports in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

〉Over the course of the partnership, GameChange Solar has developed a structured ESG program that encourages growth in line with the wider business strategy.

〉Furthermore, GameChange Solar has a clear and robust ESG governance structure capable of directing progress across all sustainability-related issues.

〉GameChange Solar has publicly communicated its progress and activities on ESG in three reports, as well as through the UNGC.

〉They have achieved goals in key areas for their business, including reduction in material use, increase in use of recycled steel, and stellar health and safety metrics.

〉GameChange Solar’s improved ESG credentials have offered a competitive advantage in the market.

We choose Sancroft after a rigour selection process for their balance of customer, investor and stakeholder engagement expertise as well as their understanding of different reporting and industry standards.

The Sancroft team helped frame our sustainability efforts, providing key intelligence on ways to evaluate our ESG efforts, standards and KPIs.  They ensured we build reasonable but challenging plans, and that we could calculate the metrics properly and consistently with expected standards.

Sancroft designed and delivered multiple documents for us for different stakeholders including our website and customers.

We will continue to work with Sancroft to guide our future efforts and ensure we deliver on our plans.
