What is Sustainability

Sustainability is defined by the term “triple bottom line”, which comprises three essential components – profits, people and the environment. With regards to business, a truly sustainable business is one which is able to earn a profit whilst being socially responsible and protecting our planet’s natural resources.

A business that is geared towards a more sustainable future.

How does it Work?

Understanding the status quo of your business is the starting point of implementing an effective sustainability strategy. Some important questions to ask are:

• Do you know the environmental impacts of your business’s operations, and if so, what mitigation measures are in place to reduce the impacts?
• What is your business’s carbon footprint and do you know if your business is liable to pay carbon tax?
• Are you concerned about increasing electricity and water tariffs?
• How much waste is your business disposing to landfill and is there a recycling programme in place?
• What is your business doing to ensure that your staff are living happy and healthy lives?
• What is your business doing for the community it operates in?

We connect with you on these issues and more, and advise an appropriate way forward with guidance on how to effectively implement a holistic sustainability strategy within your business.
