Sustainability for Organizations
Sustainability for organizations is more important today in this age of accountability than it has ever been. Customers, stakeholders, and employees are demanding companies take an active role in protecting our planet. Businesses are judged not only on the quality of good and services it produces but also on the care it shows people and the environment. These responsibilities are both ethical and legal but must also achieve a balance between the social, environmental, and economic aspects – the Triple Bottom Line.
While a significant portion of any operating budget is tied directly to overall utility consumption and energy management, Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship programs are so much more. Corporate sustainability goals also need to consider waste production, workplace environmental quality, supply chain, material and resource uses, site impacts, and human resources. These aspects of sustainability are all directly tied to managing Facilities as a Business.
