Implementation of Sustainability in an Organization

All consumers and firms affect sustainability in different ways, either directly or indirectly. In practicing sustainability, a firm could create value for consumers, investors, and other stakeholders, such as the community in which the firm operates within its value chain. In addition, a firm engaging in good sustainable practices can fulfill the needs of its customers, earn a profit, and preserve the environment. This assignment will allow you, as a consumer, to explore how you can impact sustainability.

Contributes to the mission of the company

Expands rewards for all major components of the value chain, which should include the company, employees, suppliers, and customers

Generates wealth or value and is sustainable over time
