Sustainability 101
"Sustainability is here to stay or we may not be."
Niall Fitzgerald, UK CEO, Unilever
"Sustainability and long-term value creation are closely linked. Business and markets cannot operate in isolation from society or the environment." Al Gore and David Blood, 2008
Sustainability is a term that has different meanings to people from different backgrounds. While for some it may mean the response to climate change, for others it will be associated with social aspects such as sustainable development.
Sustainability 101 will help you understand:
- The real meaning of sustainability
- What it means practically and for businesses
- How and why leading companies have embraced sustainability as part of their core business
With a better understanding of sustainability, you and your organisation will be able to break this comprehensive topic into more sizable pieces, allowing you to identify the associated risks and opportunities.
Participants will gain essential sustainability knowledge and understanding with insight into:
- The meaning of sustainability and other associated terms
- The aspects of sustainability: environmental, social and economic
- The importance of balancing these three aspects
- The trade-off fallacy
- The business implications of sustainability
- Case studies of successful, sustainable companies
The Business Shaper team have many years experience in planning, implementing and delivering projects that help organisations maximise the opportunities and mitigate the risks presented by sustainability.
Sustainability 101 will help gain an understanding of the global implications that sustainability presents and how they affect your business.
