“Sustainability” means preserving the planet for future generations. “Corporate Sustainability” refers to the creation of long-term stakeholder value without compromising the future of our planet. To what degree a particular enterprise is engaged in corporate sustainability is reflected in:
- The business in which the enterprise is engaged (e.g., manufacturing versus services)
- How the enterprise operates its business (e.g., to what degree are the enterprise’s business practices consistent with environmental sustainability?)
- How the enterprise supports and promotes sustainability among its workforce (e.g., to what degree does the enterprise engage its workforce in supporting and promoting a sustainable workplace?)
- The degree to which the enterprise shares the global weight of responsibility for sustainability (e.g., is the enterprise involved in philanthropy that supports sustainability?)
Ultimately, corporate sustainability requires striking the appropriate balance between maximizing earnings, on the one hand, and minimizing environmental impact, on the other. Thus, corporate sustainability will look different among industries and among businesses within industries.
Exela’s approach to corporate sustainability is “organic” to our mission
