Operational Sustainability

In the time of climate crisis, it is paramount that businesses continuously evaluate and improve sustainability within all of their activities, including at an operational level. Alongside being better for the environment, demonstrating sustainable operational processes not only help businesses gain a competitive advantage but also increases human resource and customer benefits. The majority of organisations recognise the necessity in reducing their negative impacts on the environment, and there is now increased pressure from employees, investors, communities, and customers to improve upon these actions.

Sustainability and profitability can appear as conflicting goals, but with the correct approach and tools, it can go hand in hand. When an organisation makes the decision to optimise their operations in this way, it makes them more efficient and environmental performance thus becomes a by-product. Through harnessing this synergy, it provides the opportunity to employ a sustainable and profitable business model.

We will be joined by a panel of experts, including BEI members MannionDaniels, who through their environmental consulting arm mdsustain support organisations to understand, assess, improve and communicate their environmental sustainability at the operational level, taking into account the international policy landscape and regulation, and building the business case for sustainability.
