Consider thinking of sustainability as a tree. If true business sustainability were a tree, then what would the branches be? Diversity programs, wellness programs, sustainable procurement, telecommuting, remote commuting, investment recovery, community and stakeholder engagement, water, carbon, energy, waste management, sustainability concepts of reduce/ reuse/ recycle fair trade and commitment to renewables.
Nevertheless, discernment is required. Commitment to sustainability must be embedded within an organization's core operation to enable stakeholders to distinguish character from reputation.
Don't be afraid to shake the tree. As a stakeholder, you have a voice and a responsibility to shape business sustainability.
Sustainability makes business sense
Businesses can make and save money by adopting the core sustainability practices of thrift, efficiency and reliability.
These are the hallmarks and benchmarks of a sustainable business. Today, sustainability is a business imperative and it is predominantly an economic story. Why? Because sustainable practices allow businesses to make and save money.
The other lesson reinforced by the recession is that resources do matter. Managing and properly valuing our natural resources is every bit as important as managing budgets and bottom lines.
Businesses are competing with other businesses to be more sustainable, not for the environmental accolades, but because it is fiscally responsible for their bottom line. This factor will continue to create competition in the market and will fuel the emerging "green race" of low-carbon, sustainable solutions.
Businesses are willing to invest because they understand they will get a healthy return. That is why more businesses that understand sustainability are saying: "It's the economy, stupid."
