Being a sustainable business means that it has minimal negative impact on the ?global or local environment, community, society, or economy ?—a business that strives to meet the triple bottom line. Often, sustainable businesses have progressive environmental and human rights policies. ℹ
Did you know that there is a word that links entrepreneurship and innovation for sustainability – Sustainopreneurship? ? Well, Sustainopreneurship is all about using business in creative ways and turning world problems into business opportunities. ?
Having a business idea that aims to be sustainable in this sense, brings a lot of perks. Here are some: ?
- It contributes towards a stronger brand purpose. ⭐ Positive reputation = competitive advantage.
