š” What is Sustainable Business? And, Why Does it Matter?
A āsustainable businessā (a Grow Ensemble āBetter-for-the-World Businessā) is a business that doesnāt just see itās positive contributions as ācharitableā but they see them as an obligationāsomething thatās non-negotiable in being a business in operation today.
Truly sustainable businesses (as we see them here at Grow Ensemble), use their businesses as a vehicle for affecting necessary change, whether thatās reversing climate change, advocating for human rights, or doing their part to see the United Nationsā Sustainable Development Goals are achieved.
Whether you are just getting started on your journey in environmental and social responsibility as it relates to business, or, trying to push the boundaries for what sort of change you/your business can make in the world, youāll find resources on this page for you.
