Our world is constantly changing and new issues are always surfacing. Companies have to make sure they are making a positive impact on our world. In Priyanka Vasudev’s blog she discusses the environmentally friendly practices Tim Horton’s has. They have made sure to be responsible ethically, socially and environmentally. They have established the Tim Horton’s Children Foundation in 1974, as well as the Tim Horton’s Coffee Partnership. All of their packaging is made of fully recyclable materials.
Nowadays, many companies are becoming more sustainable to become more competitive. If your company stands for something, there is more value in your product. “The key things are that you need to make sure sustainability strategies meet the company’s overall goals,” said Tim Faveri, Tim Horton’s Director of Sustainability.
When a company gives back to individuals, to its community, and to our planet, legitimately, it means a lot. It means, especially for the big corporations, that they care about something other than the bottom line. One small action can generate huge rewards, and corporations who are socially responsible believe in this.
