5 June is World Environment Day.

As the world’s second most populated country, with 16 of the world’s top 25 most polluted cities, India’s business community has one of the greatest opportunities on the planet to lead environmental change.

As this article shows, spending for environmental sustainability by Indian companies has lagged spending on other worthy programs, like education, healthcare and rural development.

“Many companies respond to needs expressed by communities and/or governments, which largely prioritise urgent needs such as health, education livelihoods while undervaluing important needs such as gender equality, environmental sustainability, etc.,” said the report.

The issue is a failed understanding of environmental sustainability Return on Investment.  While education, healthcare and rural development are worthy users of funds, environmental sustainability, if done correctly, can be a producer of funds, as companies certified sustainable via a globally-recognized program are growing faster and producing more profit than their non-certified peers.

As such, a company that becomes environmentally certified sustainable can help improve the environment while also producing more money to commit to the other worthy programs it wishes to support.

This PPP explains what companies should be looking for in an environmental sustainability program.

Privately-held companies selling to publicly held companies – take note.

As reported in this article, on June 16, 2021 the US House of Representatives passed legislation that will impose new ESG due diligence and disclosure requirements on publicly traded companies.

HR 1187 – the ESG Disclosure Simplification Act of 2021 – would require publicly traded companies to disclose their commitment to ensuring that environmental, social (human rights), and good governance standards (ie, ESG) are reflected in their operations, activities and supply chains.

The key for privately held companies is “…activities and supply chains.”

If you are selling products/services to publicly held companies, you should expect they will require you to also have an ESG program.

Edenark Group offers the world’s premier environmental sustainability certification / carbon neutral / ESG planning program for SMEs (small to mid-sized enterprises that have less than 500 employees).

90% of consumers want your company to be environmentally sustainable.

70% of consumers will move their purchases/loyalty when they find an environmentally sustainable company.

66% of potential employees do not want to work for companies that are not environmentally sustainable.

These are compelling reasons for a company to put a sign up, saying “We’re sustainable!”

Be careful with that.  +70% of consumers disbelieve a company’s sustainability claims if not supported by a valid certification.  If you have a valid, globally-respected certification, +70% believe your claims.

Further, per this article, the SEC has started enforcement against companies that make false claims.

Play it straight.  Become environmentally certified sustainable via a globally-recognized and respected program.  Besides doing the right thing for the environment, companies certified via a globally-respected program are growing 75% – 20x faster than their non-certified competitive peers.

Becoming environmentally certified sustainable is what your customers and prospective employees want from you, and by becoming so, you will differentiate and make more money.

Per this article, the world’s largest sovereign-wealth fund, with $1.3 Trillion in assets, believes ESG is going mainstream and will dominate investment decisions and corporate operational decision-making for decades.  New ESG guidelines the Fund may pursue could cause 2,200 companies, roughly 25% of the Fund’s portfolio, to be cut, due to lack of ESG compliance.

The Edenark Group ISO 14001 sustainability certification / ESG compliance program satisfies UNFCCC/ISO/COP25 and can help your organization become certified sustainable and ESG compliant.

Becoming certified sustainable and ESG-compliant is the right thing to do for the environment, for social awareness and for corporate governess; but it is also the smart thing to do as your company benefits operationally and financially.

These three organizations are all in the same supply chain and all celebrated Earth Day 2022 as certified sustainable businesses!
