Sustainability. What actions will you be taking in 2024?

As we stand on the brink of 2024, and with COP28 still fresh in our minds, it’s clear that sustainability is no longer a fringe concern but a core element of strategic business planning.

What’s less clear is the messaging we're hearing about Net Zero and ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) issues. And you are not alone in thinking how much is this going to cost, and how disruptive will it be to my business?

What is rarely discussed are the significant advantages and opportunities arising from being more responsible and ethical. Sustainability isn't something new. We all want to find ways to do things better, more effectively, more productively, more profitably and more sustainably.

The case for integrating sustainability into business operations couldn't be more compelling, and now is not the time to prevaricate. We all need to take action sooner rather than later.

Take a look at the model below and see how many items resonate with you. How well is your business doing already? Where can you make improvements? How can you look at innovation and your business model in new ways? How can you make your supply chains more efficient?

I could go on, but you get the picture...

So, what action will you take in 2024?

This is usually the time of year when business leaders start to think about reviewing their progress before looking ahead at their strategy for the coming year. Given all the noise about sustainability, you now have a great opportunity to get ahead of the game by looking at how you can put sustainability at the heart of your business strategy. And you won't regret it.

At Wylde, we have helped our clients to realise the benefits of having a robust sustainability strategy and action plan in place. I'd be delighted to share some of the success stories with you, and discuss how my team can help you get ahead of the game in 2024.
