3.3 How Objectives, Actions, and Targets work together
Understanding the difference between the Action Module and the Target Module in Klappir-Strategy
How Objectives, Actions, and Targets work together
In Klappir-Strategy, your Objectives, Actions, and Targets are closely connected — but they are managed in different modules and serve different purposes.
Objectives and Actions – Managed in the Action Module
-
Objectives describe what you want to achieve for a specific sustainability priority (e.g. improving workforce well-being, reducing emissions).
-
Actions are what you will do to reach that objective. These are concrete steps, projects, or initiatives.
-
Each Action can be broken into Tasks and assigned to responsible team members.
-
You can track progress and status directly in the Action Module.
📌 Example:
Objective: Improve workforce well-being
Action: Introduce flexible working hours
Expected Outcome: Increased job satisfaction and reduced stress
Tasks: Define quiet hours policy, communicate to staff, monitor uptake
Targets – Managed in the Target Module
-
Targets define what success looks like, typically using measurable indicators (e.g. reduce CO₂ by 30% by 2030).
-
Targets can be linked to Actions to show how specific actions contribute to achieving them.
-
You can also track progress against each target in the Target Module, including baseline, current values, and target values.
📌 Example:
Target: Reduce absenteeism due to stress by 15% by 2026
Linked Action: Introduce flexible working hours and mental health support programs
Summary
| Element | What it describes | Managed in… | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Objective | What you aim to achieve (goal) | Action module | Improve employee well-being |
| Action | What you will do to achieve it | Action module | Introduce quiet hours and flexible work |
| Target | What measurable outcome you aim for | Target module | Reduce stress-related absenteeism by 15% |

This structure allows you to plan, execute, and measure your sustainability strategy in a clear and connected way.
