Why sustainability?
Sustainability focuses on meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Balancing environmental, social and economic impacts is central to achieving this. Many companies are now making public sustainability commitments through a range of actions, in response to growing awareness on the negative impacts of modern consumerism. Stakeholders increasingly expect companies to evolve their practices in order to contribute to a more viable future for all. Companies that want to prosper long-term will have little choice but to embrace sustainability, those that act now may gain a competitive edge as industry leaders.
Benefits of running a sustainable business
Companies of any size can benefit from embracing sustainability, these benefits might include:
1.Enhanced brand reputation
- Increased resource efficiency / minimised costs
- Reduced environmental footprint
- Creation of opportunities for higher and additional value products/services
- Reduced business risks and increased resilience
