Opis

More and more organizations see the importance of sustainable business practices. They have recognized that there are very substantial financial benefits to be obtained by integrating sustainability thinking and practices into all their business processes. Yet, for many companies, coming to terms with sustainability and what it means is a struggle. Sustainable Growth through Sustainable Business, in a clear, concise voice demonstrates how to think about and set a strategy, and implement the plan. The book shows how to measure, reduce, validate and report resource use and environmental impact as well as assiduously embed sustainability into the core business plan: to maximise the value of opportunities in cost savings, enhanced risk management and improved income through functional and asset optimisation, innovation, brand and reputation, customer service and enlightened whole life cost issues. Additionally, by breaking down the subject into easy to understand, digestible units, it explains, simply, terms such as Economic Social Governance (ESG) through to complex issues surrounding Climate Change in order for you to understand and demonstrate the connections between an organisation's strategy, governance and financial performance and the social, environmental and economic context within which it operates.
