The Business Case for Sustainability
What is the business case for sustainability? How do you measure your return on sustainability investment? What are those hard and soft metrics you can use? Surely it’s just a cost centre – distracting from the real work – delivering on our business value proposition – generating revenues, cutting costs, managing budgets, keeping the lights on? What sustainability lens might you add? Channel budgets into reimagining and redesigning established processes, legacy products and services, developing initiatives, crafting strategies and bringing new products to market? What would be the return on sustainability investment?
Let us explore the holistic value that can be created – monetary, human, social, environmental, employer brand, stakeholder value, natural world, professional value.

The webinar is ideal for those, across leadership, looking for and justifying their investment in sustainability – and driving new forms of business value.
Learn about crafting a business case – identifying and justifying the value equation and hear from those that see their return on sustainability investment already paying off.
