Sustainability in the Workplace

What is a Sustainable Workplace?

A sustainable workplace is a delicate balance of promoting the health, safety, and welfare of its employees and delivering a good quality product with the global landscape in mind. Best practice businesses are all looking toward sustainable working conditions for the employees, and reducing their carbon footprint.

According to the UN World Commission on Environment and Development, Sustainability is “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. Sustainability is about finding the right balance and creating and maintaining the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony to support present and future generations.

“A rise in stakeholder vigilance has also contributed to the connection between CSR performance and stock performance. Web 2.0 and its collaborative platforms have ensured companies all over the world are held accountable for sustainability issues. Recent instances include YouTube videos educating and alerting consumers about identified undesirable corporate practices. This has provided stakeholders with information on companies they should invest in or not invest in.”  by Open Sourced Workplace.
