Business Case for Sustainability
Enhancing Risk Management: A form of risk management, a way of
averting threats to a company's operations, products and reputation.
Eliminating Waste and Cutting Costs: The need for such cost-cutting
is intensifying, but the benefits of sustainability go beyond these savings.
Focusing Innovation: Companies are using their sustainability
programs to develop innovative products and find new consumer
markets.
Understanding Social Trends: Helps companies engage with their
local communities, where both their customers and employees live,
helping to understand their needs. It also allowed companies to maintain
their legitimacy – their “license to operate”.
Satisfying Consumer Needs: Providing products for consumers who
want to be sure that their purchases have been produced in a socially
and environmentally responsible fashion.
