Sustainability has three main pillars: economic, social, and environmental. Or in other words: profit, people, and planet.
There are so many ways companies can achieve more sustainable and ethical products. To name a few –
- making sure your products aren’t produced in factories that use child and forced labor
- ensuring the raw materials used in your product aren’t contributing to the depletion of the forests or another part of our planet
- minimizing waste by using compostable, recyclable, and other eco-friendly materials and packaging
Developing SMART sustainability goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Timely) can get complicated. This is especially the case if you want them to be meaningful, achievable, and cost-effective.
