Sustainability is doing business in a manner that contributes meaningfully to strong communities, to a healthy environment and to economic prosperity, now and into the future.
Successful sustainable businesses are those that embed these principles into every aspect of their business – in their long-term planning, day-to-day operations and interactions with customers, staff and suppliers. The global move towards sustainability affects all industries and economic sectors and creates many opportunities for businesses, including:
- Creating value through market advantage
- Driving innovation
- Reducing costs
- Improving productivity
- Enhancing brand integrity and corporate reputation
- Ensuring continued market access
