Sustainability: A Better Way To A Bigger Profit!
Based on the fundamental concept of continuously improving social, environmental and economic performance across the value chain, Sustainability is simply, a better way to make a bigger profit.
While organizations have attended to Social and Environmental performance for decades, it is traditionally economic performance that drives strategy and decision making. Sustainability offers a revolutionary business model by including social and environmental factors in the strategy and decision making process to maximize organizational performance and produce superior profits.
Building A Strategy That Is Sustainable
An organization without a strategy is like a ship without a rudder, the outcome is unpredictable and left to chance. In today’s economy, are you willing to leave your business to chance? Competing and winning in today’s economy not only requires a strategy, but one that includes sustainability. Even with a strategy, many organizations mistakingly ignore tenants of sustainability or develop a side strategy for Sustainability that is separate from the business strategy and fail to realize optimal results.
GEM’S proven, dynamic methodology provides organizations the ability to develop an integrated strategy. By combining strategy with sustainability, GEM coaches organizations to produce a Strategy that is Sustainable. Based on proven models such as the Rockefeller Habits and CERES Sustainability Roadmap, this powerful approach maximizes social, environmental and economic performance to produce the biggest profits with the smallest footprint.
