A framework to structure your actions and commitments
A sustainability strategy is a plan of action which allows you to understand what sustainability impacts your business has, and how you intend to manage your activities to minimise the negatives and maximise the positives. It outlines key targets, metrics, and actions that your organisation plans to undertake to improve their impact on the community and environment across a range of sustainability issues.
Taking a sustainable approach will encourage us to think more about the true value and costs of our activities and improve the impacts we might be having on the environment and society. By developing and delivering a sustainability strategy – a framework to structure your actions and commitments – that is relevant and proportional to your business, you are managing your impacts and demonstrating that you are serious about sustainability.
