Why is sustainability important?
The array of challenges facing companies today is wide and complex. Across the globe, and in every sector, businesses need to integrate sustainability into their strategy, management, and performance measurement – because sustainability is central to business success. An effective sustainability strategy drives the bottom line while also delivering on the expectations of investors, regulators, employees, consumers, and civil society. It takes insight, global expertise, intuition, and active listening to understand where and how a company is most affected by its own unique environmental, social, and ethical issues. It also takes experience, rigor, and creativity to map the best response to those issues. With unprecedented challenges facing humanity (e.g. climate change, migration, resource scarcity, poverty etc.) and in the aftermath of Covid-19, businesses stand as the defining catalyst to tackle the pressing issues of our day. It is our hope that businesses will heed the world’s call to action and tackle the pressing issues of our day. Developing sustainable business practices creates strategies that preserve the long-term viability of People, Planet, and Profit – otherwise known as the triple bottom line. This enables human communities across the globe maintain their independence and have access to the resources that they require, financial and other, to meet their needs.
