Business Sustainability

Individuals and companies have been doing their part by developing sustainable ways of operating for a long time. Now is the time to make this the new normal.

Doing business sustainably carries with it the awareness that every action, every decision, every purchase, has consequences. It is knowing how your money is operating once you have spent it, and taking responsibility for the impact your business has on the world.

Some practical examples of doing business sustainably are:

1. Embedding diversity in your supply chain: support Indigenous businesses, businesses owned and run by minority groups, and businesses that give back to their communities.
2. Ensuring that your supply chain is free from the risk of modern slavery, in line with State and Federal Government legislation.
3. Maximising opportunities to re-use or recycle materials in your manufacturing processes or your office in line with circular economy principles
4. Looking to reduce your carbon emissions from your business operations, particularly in areas such as work-related travel and energy use.  It all helps stave off the threat of climate change.
5. Fitting out your business with water efficient tapware and plumbing systems. We, after all, live on the driest populated continent on earth.

IPS and Think Sustainability are forming a complementary relationship into the future, because we are both passionate about and capable of assisting organisations to pivot and adapt to sustainable business models that build community and look after the environment. IPS’s strengths in supplier diversity, leadership, business development and policy and evaluation will work side by side with Think Sustainability’s long-time experience with building sustainability into every aspect of supply chains.

Are corporate cultures sustainable and resilient in the face of the challenges the world faces right now? Maybe not yet – but they can be, and this is the future we aim to build.
​
We’re interested in hearing about your sustainability initiatives as we move forward with this collaboration. If you would like to have a chat, please call Doug Green on (08) 9721 7057.
