About Environmental Impact and Business

Businesses have a tremendous impact on the environment through the resources they use and the waste they produce. This includes depletion of natural resources, pollution of air and water, destruction of habitats, greenhouse gas emissions and waste generation.

Addressing these Sustainable Business Trends is not only a necessity for the health of the planet, but it also makes sense financially. Smart, forward-thinking companies are looking beyond short-term earnings and making investments in the environment that will bring them long-term benefits.

As more consumers become aware of environmental concerns, they are increasingly supporting brands that prioritize sustainability. This can be driven by the desire for a higher level of transparency, as well as the need to reduce risk and support biodiversity.

Sustainable Business Strategies: Building a Greener Future

In addition to reducing operating costs, implementing environmental sustainability practices can help a company’s brand reputation and attract eco-conscious customers. This has been demonstrated by the growing popularity of “eco-friendly” products, which have a lower impact on the environment and can be made from recycled materials.

The best ways to reduce your environmental footprint include tracking energy consumption and carbon emissions, encouraging employees to commute by bike or public transport, reducing office paper use and embracing near sourcing—using vendors close to your business to minimize transportation and other supply chain emissions. MooD’s Environmental Hub allows you to track and assess your company’s energy, water, and carbon usage at an enterprise-wide level, drill down by location, department, or function, and set benchmarks for improvement.
