Sustainability

“The sustainability and wellbeing agenda and how this is embraced by an organisation is no longer a matter of choice.”

— Marlies Hoogeboom

Responsible Business should be at the front and centre of any corporate strategy.

Responsible Business

 

Having been at the forefront of leading this for the global business at Mace, I know this should be front and centre of any corporate strategy. To show to the workforce and the world how a business drives impact and battles the climate emergency agenda is fundamental.

The attraction of talent will play an important part in this as employees will form their decisions and opinions of organisation based on how they tackle this issue.

Developing strategies on sustainable asset management through data analytics and technology to drive a more sustainable real estate portfolio will be the next step.

“The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.”
