Once a nice-to-have, sustainability has become the cost of doing business. And yet, while many growers deeply understand the value of sustainability, have implemented initiatives, and are committed to advancing their efforts, they often tell me just how daunting it all feels. Many need support with identifying, documenting, and effectively communicating their efforts. ?So today, I'd like to share three tips to help you advance your sustainability efforts. ? 1?? Start where you are. — Your organization is likely already embracing sustainability at some level, so celebrate where you are?right now?and focus on the next step to move your efforts forward. ? 2?? Do it at your own pace. — Aside from reporting deadlines, there is no need to rush your sustainability efforts. Take your time to build a strategy and implementation timeline that works for your organization. ? 3?? Don't compare yourself to others. — While looking at industry leaders for inspiration can be exciting, I encourage you to focus inward. Celebrate your?own?progress and successes, and one day, you'll?see just how far you've come. ? Whether your organization already has a sustainability program or initiatives or you're just getting started, our team of experts at Measure To Improve, LLC is ready to help – don't hesitate to reach out.
