Business Case
Sustainable development rests on the three pillars of economic growth, social progress and ecological balance. The business case for sustainable development includes the belief that operating within a well-defined framework of sustainable development helps companies:
  • Be more efficient and competitive
  • Engage in responsible entrepreneurship
  • Increase their financial return and reduce risk for shareholders
  • Attract and retain employees
  • Improve customer sales and loyalty
  • Grow supplier commitment
  • Strengthen community relations
  • Contribute to environmental sustainability
