Sustainability Knowledge Center

Businesses already know a thing or two about sustainability, but what might be a little less obvious to the average business owner is that companies are part of a larger system, and the well-being of that system has a direct impact on the well-being of all the organizations in that system.

Why worry about business sustainability?

Now that global warming is generally accepted, the concept of "going green" or being an eco-friendly company may soon become, if it isn't already, a competitive advantage, both for customers and employees. While widespread consumer demand for green products is still in the infant stage, data from a recent i4cp/AMA survey shows that workers care more than their employers when it comes to eco-friendly policies.

Furthermore, research shows that organizations that use sustainability strategies to a greater degree are also more likely to be high performers.
