Sustainability
Sustainability is one of the most frequently heard terms mainly in large companies or corporations. Today it is more of a necessity than a marketing ploy to assure customers. What does it really mean?
Does it mean an organization, a company that develops in a sustainable way taking care of the sensible management of natural resources? Not only that. When we talk about sustainability, we mean a whole range of activities related to the environment, such as saving energy, reducing the amount of waste produced, reducing the carbon footprint. But sustainability is not just about the environment. It's also how the company is perceived by employees, local society, customers. It's how we think about it ourselves. What actions we take for the environment or the local community.
Sustainability is not the latest fad, but a long-term trend that is already affecting our lives both personally and professionally. In addition to environmental and social benefits, sustainability also brings many benefits to companies and their employees. It helps reduce costs (including lowering CO2 emissions, introducing product and process innovations, motivating and nurturing employees, strengthening the company's image and position in the local community; improving relationships with financial partners and customers.
