đĄ What is Sustainable Business? And, Why Does it Matter?
A âsustainable businessâ (a Grow Ensemble âBetter-for-the-World Businessâ) is a business that doesnât just see itâs positive contributions as âcharitableâ but they see them as an obligationâsomething thatâs 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 thatâs reversing climate change, advocating for human rights, or doing their part to see the United Nationsâ Sustainable Development Goals are achieved. Â
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, youâll find resources on this page for you.
