Benefits of Sustainability

There are two main motivators for adopting sustainable business practices;

1. SALES - Potential for increased sales.

Environmental & Social product and company certification are a MUST for getting specified for larger projects, be it for a  Green Star certification and or specification for Government projects.  Designers, end-users, architects, construction companies and Government have requirements for product (Ecolabeling) certification, company (ISO14001 Ems certification) and or Social business practices. If you don’t have the RIGHT certification and or company social initiatives, your product or company may not be considered.

2. People and Planet -  to improve the environment and working conditions for vulnerable workers.

We do have clients that are driven by ‘doing the right thing’. They want to adapt sustainability practices because they feel they have an obligation to lessen their impact on the environment and to ensure their workers and workers in their supply chain have a safe work environment and there are no human and or labour rights abuses.

But they are business people who also see the overall benefit of initiating sustainable business practices, because it does give them more opportunity for specification.
