There have been hundreds of studies on the benefit of a company being able to prove it is environmentally sustainable.
As this article states, a “study of the studies” that combined the results of 640 studies over 10 years produced a treasure trove of data, highlighted by the following.
Companies that can prove their environmental sustainability (ie, are certified/verified) enjoy:
- 36% increase in financial valuation
- 21% increase in profitability
- 20% increase in sales across both B2B and B2C markets
- 6% increase in share price
- 21% increase in productivity
- 57% reduction in employee turnover
This leads to some questions:
- Is it your job to improve the performance of your company?
- Is there anything you are currently doing in your company that is generating the above?
- Would you mind doing something good?
If it is your job to improve your company, and you would not mind doing something good, and all your efforts to-date have not generated results like the above, maybe it is time to consider becoming environmentally certified sustainable.
