Business sustainability conversations are no longer a sidebar conversation.  In fact, they are quickly becoming a primary focus in executive boardroom discussions and strategy sessions.  However, it's interesting to ask: Has the traditional view of ‘sustainability’ as an added cost really shifted to a discussion of quantifiable business value?  Is there an ROI for business sustainability? 

Explored in a recent GreenBiz article, the bottom line ranks as the number one influencer in business sustainability decision making.  With 90% of 1000 business leaders polled stating they felt a "moral responsibility" to addressing sustainability, 61% still cited cost savings as the primary incentive.  This leaves little doubt that executives want return on their ‘sustainability’ investment.
 
Working under this same premise, our sustainability consulting practices believes applied sustainability concepts must generate sustainable business return.  Experience has demonstrated that aligned efforts can:
 
•    Cut operating costs through operational and supply chain efficiencies
•    Improve throughput with asset and capacity utilization
•    Stabilize base revenue through customer loyalty and retention.  Click here to continue reading.
