Cawthron’s Sustainable Business Group focuses on helping businesses to maximize value whilst minimising impacts on the environment.
Becoming a truly sustainable business is a considerable challenge in a competitive business environment. Demands from society and shareholders to become sustainable are increasing and the long-term viability of many businesses will depend on their ability to meet not only the expectations of shareholders, but also of the wider community.
Attributes of sustainable businesses include:
| 1. |
Making a positive and equitable contribution to shareholders and society |
| 2. |
Embracing stewardship of natural resources |
| 3. |
Meeting the needs of today without compromising future generations |
The key to sustainability is to embrace the expectations of shareholders and society as New Zealand needs both sustainable businesses and sustainable ecosystems for its long-term wellbeing.
