How can non-profit organizaons navigate the overwhelming array of sustainability soluons to choose measures that actually fit their unique circumstances? While countless environmental technologies and pracces exist – from LED retrofits to rainwater harvesng systems – non-profits oen struggle to idenfy which soluons align with their limited budgets, volunteer workforce, and operaonal constraints. This challenge drives the need for a systemac approach to characterize and evaluate sustainability measures based on their implementaon properes and suitability for different organizaonal contexts.
This master thesis, supervised in partnership with YAGHMA B.V. (a Del-based consultancy specializing in technology assessment), offers you the opportunity to create praccal impact in the sustainability field. You'll develop a comprehensive taxonomy for assessing and priorizing environmental measures specifically designed for non-profit organizaons and validate it for a diverse set of sustainability soluons.
What You'll Do:
∙ Analyze scienfic and grey literature on sustainability pracces specifically for non-profits and sports clubs to understand current approaches and gaps
∙ Conduct a systemac review of exisng frameworks and taxonomies used for esmang sustainability soluon’s suitability across different sectors
∙ Design a detailed sustainability soluons taxonomy that characterizes environmental measures by key properes – such as implementaon costs, payback periods, technical complexity, maintenance requirements, environmental impact potenal, space requirements, and compability constraints – enabling non-profit organizaons to idenfy soluons that match their needs, constraints, and capabilies
∙ Test and refine your taxonomy through feedback from real non-profit organizaons in YAGHMA's network
∙ Concentrate primarily on energy efficiency, water conservaon, and biodiversity measures, with oponal integraon of social sustainability dimensions based on your interests
What You'll Gain:
∙ Experience in sustainability consulng and framework development
∙ Direct industry collaboraon and networking opportunies
∙ Skills in taxonomy design and validaon methodologies
∙ Praccal knowledge applicable to the growing ESG consulng market
This thesis combines theorecal rigor with real-world applicaon, posioning you at the intersecon of sustainability science and organizaonal management. For more informaon, please contact Rie at rbl@yaghma.nl.
