Sustainable business is any organization that environmentally friendly imposes their actions on the global environment, society, and economy. Specifically, it is a business that strives to meet the triple bottom line.
There was a fire in Ohio. One of the state’s main waterways, the Cuyahoga River caught on fire after becoming saturated with oil chemicals and garbage. In response to the catastrophes and the enormous pollution, cleanup expenses and health care costs, the federal government set higher standards by introducing more laws that restricted the amount of pollutants a business could emit. However, business leaders claim that they work hard to reduce the expenses that generated from production. Oppositely, their actions would dramatically increase their cost in the future.
An example of a corporation successfully adopted the concept of sustainability in their business is 3M, an American manufacturing company. They aim to help customers to become more energy efficient, implement approaches to distribute service and goods in a sustainable way.
To sum up, my analysis shows that the value of being green is much more than that of being unsustainable. It can reduce risks and attract more customers and investors since people’s demand for environmentally friendly service and goods is increasing.
