“Asking how to become more sustainable is not all that different from asking what a company should do to be successful and profitable. Companies that have embraced sustainability confirm positive impacts on their operations. No company works in isolation. Being a good corporate citizen, acting responsibly with respect for the environment and local community – those are the values your business partners, employees, customers and other stakeholders are more and more interested in.”
