A healthy organisation is a sustainable one.
Sustainability is an organisation’s ability to successfully balance social and environmental performance alongside financial performance, therefore profitably solving the problems of people and planet.
With the growing need to respond to the climate and biodiversity emergencies and address our huge social challenges, pressures are growing from customers, employees, investors, governments, and wider society for all organisations to think about their impact on the wider world.
Sustainability is about creating value and opportunity for all stakeholders, not just shareholders, to ensure long term viability.
Business sustainability is something that needs to be understood as a journey and in many cases, a transformation opportunity, as it touches all parts of the organisation. Successful organisations have sustainability and longer-term thinking as cornerstones of their strategy, living and breathing this throughout the enterprise.
When thinking about sustainability, too often the focus for many organisations is to move from non-compliance to compliance. This typically includes the process of identifying risks, disclosing their impact and setting targets to mitigate these risks. This is driven by pending legislation combined with increased investor, consumer, and employee activism.
However, organisations need to go – beyond compliance to integrate sustainability in everything they do and ultimately into their purpose. The ‘winners’ that survive the next 10 years will need to treat sustainability as a threat AND an opportunity – by using it to go further to drive innovation and competitive advantage.
