Why do you consider diversity and inclusion, social and economic, as well as climate and environment?

Learn why we have broken sustainability down into five distinct themes.

Sustainability is often referred to as 'environmental sustainability'. However, we believe that sustainability comprises five interconnected themes:

  • Climate
  • Environment
  • Economic
  • Diversity & inclusion
  • Social

We believe that sustainable development only happens when we have a balance running across all five themes.

Striving for positive environmental goals and objectives, organisations should make efforts to reduce their carbon footprint, waste, water usage, non-environmentally friendly packaging, and their negative impact on the environment.

To perform well, organisations must consider their operations, factory or office locations, and the communities they operate in.

To have social impact, they should communicate and collaborate with a diverse range of stakeholders in an inclusive manner, invest in communities, source ethically, and understand their supply chains.

They must treat their employees fairly and this means effective non-discrimination and inclusion policies, flexible working hours, equitable opportunities, good governance, and paying fair wages.

There is more, but we will help guide you through these topics as you work with FuturePlus.
