What is Sustainability? (CIPS and EFMD business education video)

submitted by innovibe on 11/26/13 1

An introductory explanation of sustainability presented in a business context. The McKinsey Global Institute estimates that the world could save $2.9 trillion every year by the year 2030 if it eliminated waste - put simply: if businesses used their resources (raw materials, labour and energy) more efficiently. Waste is an indisputable sign that a business is bleeding money. Waste is any substance that emerges from the business which cannot be sold and is proof that the business is not obtaining 100% from its purchases and investments. This video provides an introductory explanation of sustainability and business with an overview on how multi-million dollar household-name businesses have reduced waste to increase productivity, enjoy substantial cost savings, increase profits, and create jobs.
