Strategic Planning for Sustainable Development

Strategic approach and integrated action plan

We support you at every step of the process: the development of a collective approach to strategic planning, an integrated action plan, your funding applications (e.g., Green Municipal Fund, Green Fund, etc.) and your reporting.

Citizen participation and mobilization

Consult your stakeholders through co-creation workshops, working groups, surveys (both online and on-site) and effective communication. We optimize the involvement of your citizens in the planning and implementation of collective actions.

Economic and social development

We help you increase the economic potential and attractiveness of your region by setting up new circular economy and sustainable development projects with local organizations and socio-economic players.

Best organizational practices

In order for your team to achieve its full potential, we organize training sessions and coaching workshops, and work with you to develop relevant management tools (e.g. responsible purchasing, GHG reduction, dashboards, and other management practices).

A progressive approach

COESIO offers a strategic coaching approach designed for municipalities. Our approach focuses on mobilizing and involving your stakeholders. We bring together your citizens, elected officials, municipal administration and socio-economic players around a common vision. We guide you in the implementation of your actions to achieve your vision, support your economic development, ensure the well-being of your community and protect your environment.

Our team at COESIO is able to support municipalities of small and medium size.
