Corporate Responsibility & SustainabilityWhere eco-friendly meets business-friendly |
Publish date:
“Enterprise sustainability” is the ‘greening’ of business. It refers to all of the steps necessary to run a profitable business with the least negative impact on people, natural resources and the environment.
Until recently, many businesses have viewed sustainability as a public relations issue that adds little bottom-line value. Not anymore. Increasing regulation, investor activism and changing consumer behavior have increased the importance of ‘going green.’ Meanwhile, advances in technology are making enterprise sustainability much more feasible from an ROI standpoint. If you don’t get in front of these trends, your competition surely will.
