The value of business sustainability consultants
Guidance from a sustainability consultant can help your business:
Use resources more efficiently. One of the benefits of being more sustainable is that you find new ways to operate that are more productive and use resources more efficiently.
Conserve precious resources and reduce the generation of carbon emissions and waste.
Secure your social licence to operate. Demonstrating you are environmentally and socially responsible.
Sustainable businesses comply with relevant regulations and often have improve relationships with regulators. It also prepares them for changes in regulations. We also find that sustainable businesses have better brand image and reduced reputational risk with more and more consumers opting for brands with sustainable credentials.
Sustainable businesses discover new business models and ways of working that add value to their products or services. They can access new markets and it gives their products a competitive edge. This can attract new investors and keeps shareholders happy!
Staff want to work in a company that is creating a better world and gives them a sense of purpose. Sustainable businesses actively involve their staff in their green and social initiatives. Additional benefits include greater loyalty, happier, more motivated and healthier staff, and greater productivity.
Operating within an unsustainable supply change puts your business at significant reputational risk. Working with your supply chain on the other hand can help you conserve resources, optimize processes, uncover innovations, increase productivity and very importantly promote your business’s values.
Sustainable businesses communicate their vision with enthusiasm and help create a compelling business case to help convince other businesses to commit to sustainability.
