Profit, People, Planet!
The SBDC for Enterprise Excellence promotes Sustainability to North Texas Small Businesses.
We believe that Sustainability can only be reached with a balanced approach to Profit, People, Planet or the “Triple Bottom Line”.
• Profit Performance program focuses not only on cost reductions, but also includes synergizing with UT Arlington to promote innovation in Sustainability.
• Planet Performance program highlights the financial benefits of “Going Green”. Customized assessments result in company-specific recommendations; which are based on specific industry practices and their financial status.
• People Performance program tackles issues ranging from Customer Service (both internal and external) to Leadership/Management. For example, employee morale can drive the bottom line into the black when an empowered atmosphere is in place!
Does SUSTAINABILITY mean ”GREEN”?
Our culture often uses the word “Sustainability” instead of “Green”. So let’s clarify “Green”. We consider “Green” to be “practices, processes, and products that have a minimal impact on the health of the ecosystem. The emphasis is on non-hazardous, recyclable, reusable, and energy efficient products, services, and processes.” So Sustainability includes Green concepts, but they are not interchangeable.
SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN TO YOU - a Business Owner?!
Consider creating a Sustainable Business Strategy (SBS) This is the way your organization will cohesively manage and integrate your financial, social and environmental performance to create value for your stakeholders and meet present needs without compromising the ability to meet future needs.
